SSC IMD SA Mock 03 – Question 110

Which of the given options best describes the truthfulness of the following statements?

i) A tuple is a sequence of immutable Python objects, in the given tuple course = “l”, “m”, “n”, “o”, has four elements.
ii) To explicitly remove an entire tuple, use the drop statement.

• i-True, ii-True
• i-False, ii-True
• i-True, ii-False
• i-False, ii-False

Analyzing both statements in Python:
– Statement (i) is True: A tuple is an ordered, immutable sequence of Python objects. Tuple packing allows comma-separated items without parentheses: `course = “l”, “m”, “n”, “o”` creates a valid tuple with four string elements (`(‘l’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘o’)`).
– Statement (ii) is False: Python does NOT have a `drop` statement. To explicitly delete an entire variable or tuple from memory, Python provides the `del` statement (e.g., `del course`). Individual elements cannot be deleted due to immutability, but the entire tuple object can be deleted using `del`.

Therefore, statement (i) is True and statement (ii) is False.
