Type A : Short Answer Questions/Conceptual
Questions

Question 1

Discuss the utility and significance of Lists in Python, briefly.

Answer

Python lists are containers that can store an ordered list of values
of same or different data types together in a single variable. The
fact that elements of a list need not be homogeneous makes them
highly adaptable and powerful data structure in Python. Lists
provide fast access to its elements using index numbers. Python
lists are mutable which makes them memory efficient. They serve
as the basic building blocks for programs that process large
amounts of data.

Question 2

[Link] 7/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

What do you understand by mutability? What does "in place"

memory updation mean?

Answer

Mutability means that the value of an object can be updated by

directly changing the contents of the memory location where the
object is stored. There is no need to create another copy of the
object in a new memory location with the updated values. This
updation of the existing memory location of the object is called as
in place memory updation.

Question 3

Start with the list [8, 9, 10]. Do the following using list functions:

1. Set the second entry (index 1) to 17

2. Add 4, 5 and 6 to the end of the list
3. Remove the first entry from the list
4. Sort the list
5. Double the list
6. Insert 25 at index 3

Answer

listA = [8, 9, 10]

1. listA[1] = 17
2. [Link]([4, 5, 6])
3. [Link](0)
4. [Link]()
5. listA = listA * 2
6. [Link](3, 25)

Question 4

If a is [1, 2, 3]

1. what is the difference (if any) between a * 3 and [a, a, a]?

2. is a * 3 equivalent to a + a + a?
3. what is the meaning of a[1:1] = 9?
4. what's the difference between a[1:2] = 4 and a[1:1] = 4?

Answer

1. a * 3 ⇒ [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
[a, a, a] ⇒ [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
So, a * 3 repeats the elements of the list whereas [a, a, a]
creates nested list.
2. Yes, both a * 3 and a + a + a will result in [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2,
3]
3. a[1:1] = 9 will cause an error because when list is modified
using slices, the value being assigned must be a sequence

[Link] 8/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

but 9 is an integer not a sequence.

4. Both a[1:2] = 4 and a[1:1] = 4 will cause error because when
list is modified using slices, the value being assigned must be
a sequence but 4 is an integer not a sequence. Assuming the
question was a[1:2] = [4] and a[1:1] = [4], a[1:2] = [4] will
change element at index 1 to 4 as a[1:2] gives a slice with a[1]
as its only element. Thus, a becomes [1, 4, 3]. Coming to
a[1:1] = [4], a[1:1] returns an empty slice so 4 is inserted into
the list at index 1. Thus, a becomes [1, 4, 2, 3].

Question 5

What's a[1 : 1] if a is a list of at least two elements? And what if the

list is shorter?

Answer

a[x:y] returns a slice of the sequence from index x to y - 1. So, a[1 :

1] will return an empty list irrespective of whether the list has two
elements or less as a slice from index 1 to index 0 is an invalid
range.

Question 6

How are the statements lst = lst + 3 and lst += [3] different, where
lst is a list? Explain.

Answer

The statement lst = lst + 3 will give error as + operator in Python

requires that both its operands should be of the same type but
here one operand is list and other is integer. The statement lst +=
[3] will add 3 at the end of the lst as += when used with lists
requires the operand on the right side to be an iterable and it will
add each element of the iterable to the end of the list.

Question 7

How are the statements lst += "xy" and lst = lst + "xy" different,
where lst is a list? Explain.

Answer

The statement lst = lst + "xy" will give error as + operator in Python
requires that both its operands should be of the same type but
here one operand is list and other is string. The statement lst +=
"xy" will add 'x' and 'y' at the end of the lst as += when used with
lists requires the operand on the right side to be an iterable and it
will add each element of the iterable to the end of the list.

Question 8

What's the purpose of the del operator and pop method? Try
deleting a slice.

Answer

[Link] 9/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

The del statement is used to remove an individual element or

elements identified by a slice. It can also be used to delete all
elements of the list along with the list object. For example,

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
del lst[1] # delete element at index 1
del lst[2:5] # delete elements from index 2 to 4
del lst # delete complete list

pop() method is used to remove a single element from the given

position in the list and return it. If no index is specified, pop()
removes and returns the last element in the list. For example,

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

# removes element at
# index 1 i.e. 2 from
# the list and stores
# in variable a
a = pop(1)

# removes the last element

# i.e. 8 from the list and
# stores in variable b
b = pop()

Question 9

What does each of the following expressions evaluate to?

Suppose that L is the list
["These", ["are", "a", "few", "words"], "that", "we", "will", "use"].

1. L[1][0::2]
2. "a" in L[1][0]
3. L[:1] + L[1]
4. L[2::2]
5. L[2][2] in L[1]

Answer

1. ['are', 'few']
2. True
3. ['These', 'are', 'a', 'few', 'words']
4. ['that', 'will']
5. True

Explanation

1. L[1] returns ["are", "a", "few", "words"]. L[1][0::2] returns a slice

of ["are", "a", "few", "words"] starting at index 0 covering every
alternate element till the end of the list. So, final output is
['are', 'few'].
2. L[1][0] is "are". As "a" is present in "are" so output is True.

[Link] 10/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

3. L[:1] return L[0] i.e. ["These"]. L[1] returns ["are", "a", "few",
"words"]. + operator adds the two in a single list to give the
final output as ['These', 'are', 'a', 'few', 'words'].
4. L[2::2] returns a slice of L starting at index 2 covering every
alternate element till the end of the list. So, final output is
['that', 'will'].
5. L[1] is ["are", "a", "few", "words"]. L[2][2] is "a". As "a" is
present in L[1] so output is True.

Question 10

What are list slices? What for can you use them?

Answer

List slice is an extracted part of the list containing the requested

elements. The list slice is a list in itself. All list operations can be
performed on a list slice. List slices are used to copy the required
elements to a new list and to modify the required parts of the list.
For example,

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
lst2 = lst[1:4] #lst2 is [2, 3, 4]

#Using Slices for list modification

lst[0:2] = [10, 20] #lst becomes [10, 20, 3, 4, 5]

Question 11

Does the slice operator always produce a new list?

Answer

Slice operator copies only the requested elements of the original

list into a new list.

Question 12

Compare lists with strings. How are they similar and how are they
different?

Answer

The similarity between Lists and Strings in Python is that both are
sequences. The differences between them are that firstly, Lists are
mutable but Strings are immutable. Secondly, elements of a list
can be of different types whereas a String only contains characters
that are all of String type.

Question 13

What do you understand by true copy of a list? How is it different

from shallow copy?

Answer

[Link] 11/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

True copy of a list means that the elements of the original list are
copied to new memory locations and the new list contains
references to these new memory locations for each element of the
list. Hence, in case of true copy changes made to the original list
will not reflect in the copied list and vice versa.

Incase of shallow copy of a list, the elements of the original list are
not copied to new memory locations. Both the new list and the
original list refer to the same memory locations for the elements of
the list. Hence, changes made to one of the list reflect in the other
list as well.

Question 14

An index out of bounds given with a list name causes error, but not
with list slices. Why?

Answer

When we use an index, we are accessing a constituent element of

the list. If the index is out of bounds there is no element to return
from the given index hence Python throws list index out of range
error whereas list slicing always returns a subsequence and empty
subsequence is a valid sequence. Thus, when a list is sliced
outside the bounds, it still can return empty subsequence and
hence Python gives no errors and returns empty subsequence.

Question 15

What is the difference between appending a list and extending a

list?

Answer

Appending a list Extending a list

For appending to a list, For extending a list, extend()

append() function is used. function is used.

The append() function The extend() function can add

can add a single element multiple elements from a list
to the end of a list. supplied to it as argument.

After append(), the length After extend() the length of the list
of the list will increase by will increase by the length of the
1 element only. list given as argument to extend()

Question 16

Do functions max( ), min( ), sum( ) work with all types of lists.

Answer

No, for max() and min() to work on a list, the list must contain all
elements of same type (non-complex type) and for sum() to work,

[Link] 12/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

the list must contain the elements which can be added such as
numbers.

Question 17

What is the difference between sort( ) and sorted( )?

Answer

sort( ) sorted( )

It modifies the list it is

It creates a new list containing a

Type B: Application Based Questions

Question 1

What is the difference between following two expressions, if lst is

given as [1, 3, 5]

(i) lst * 3 and lst *= 3

(ii) lst + 3 and lst += [3]

Answer

(i)

lst * 3 will give [1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5] but the original lst will

remains unchanged, it will be [1, 3, 5] only.
lst *= 3 will also give [1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5] only but it will assign
this result back to lst so lst will be changed to [1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3,
5].

(ii)

lst + 3 will cause an error as both operands of + operator should

be of same type but here one operand is list and the other integer.
lst += [3] will add 3 to the end of lst so lst becomes [1, 3, 5, 3].

Question 2

Given two lists:

[Link] 13/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

L1 = ["this", 'is', 'a', 'List'], L2 = ["this", ["is", "another"], "List"]

Which of the following expressions will cause an error and why?

1. L1 == L2
2. [Link]( )
3. L1[3].upper( )
4. [Link]( )
5. L2[1].upper( )
6. L2[1][1].upper( )

Answer

[Link]( ) will cause an error as upper() method can be

called with Strings not Lists.
[Link]( ) will cause an error as upper() method can be
called with Strings not Lists.
L2[1].upper( ) will cause an error as L2[1] is a list — [ "is",
"another"] and upper() method cannot be called on Lists.

Question 3

From the previous question, give output of expressions that do not

result in error.

Answer

L1 == L2 gives output as false because L1 is not equal to L2.

L1[3].upper( ) gives output as 'LIST' because L1[3] is 'List' and
upper() function converts it to uppercase.
L2[1][1].upper( ) gives output as 'ANOTHER' because L2[1]
["is", "another"] and L2[1][1] is "another". upper() function
converts it to uppercase.

Question 4

Given a list L1 = [3, 4.5, 12, 25.7, [2, 1, 0, 5], 88]

1. Which list slice will return [12, 25.7, [2, 1, 0, 5]]?

2. Which expression will return [2, 1, 0, 5]?
3. Which list slice will return [[2, 1, 0, 5]]?
4. Which list slice will return [4.5, 25.7, 88]?

Answer

1. L1[2:5]
2. L1[4]
3. L1[4:5]
4. L1[1::2]

Question 5

Given a list L1 = [3, 4.5, 12, 25.7, [2, 1, 0, 5], 88], which function
can change the list to:

[Link] 14/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

1. [3, 4.5, 12, 25.7, 88]

2. [3, 4.5, 12, 25.7]
3. [ [2, 1, 0, 5], 88]

Answer

1. [Link](4)
2. del L1[4:6]
3. del L1[:4]

Question 6

What will the following code result in?

L1 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
print (L1 == [Link]( ) )
print (L1)

Answer

Output

False
[9, 7, 5, 3, 1]

Explanation

L1 is not equal to its reverse so L1 == [Link]( ) gives False but

[Link]( ) reverses L1 in place so after that statement
executes, L1 becomes [9, 7, 5, 3, 1].

Question 7

Predict the output:

my_list= [ 'p', 'r', 'o', 'b', 'l' , 'e', 'm']

my_list[2:3] = []
print(my_list)
my_list[2:5] = []
print(my_list)

Answer

Output

['p', 'r', 'b', 'l', 'e', 'm']

['p', 'r', 'm']

Explanation

my_list[2:3] = [] removes element at index 2 of my_list so it

becomes ['p', 'r', 'b', 'l', 'e', 'm']. my_list[2:5] removes elements at
indexes 2, 3, and 4 so now my_list becomes ['p', 'r', 'm'].

Question 8

Predict the output:

[Link] 15/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

List1 = [13, 18, 11, 16, 13, 18, 13]

[Link]([Link](13))
print(List1)

Answer

Output

1
2
[13, 18, 11, 16, 13, 18, 13, 3]

Explanation

[Link](18) gives the first index of element 18 in List1 which in

this case is 1. [Link](18) returns how many times 18 appears

appears 3 times in List1. [Link]([Link](13)) add this 3
to the end of List1 so it becomes [13, 18, 11, 16, 13, 18, 13, 3].

Question 9

Predict the output:

Odd = [1,3,5]
print( (Odd +[2, 4, 6])[4] )
print( (Odd +[12, 14, 16])[4] - (Odd +[2, 4, 6])[4] )

Answer

Output

4
10

Explanation

Odd + [2, 4, 6] will return [1, 3, 5, 2, 4, 6]. The element at index 4

of this list is 4 so the first output is 4. (Odd +[12, 14, 16])[4] is 14
and (Odd +[2, 4, 6])[4] is 4. 14 - 4 = 10 which is the second output.

Question 10

Predict the output:

a, b, c = [1,2], [1, 2], [1, 2]

print(a == b)
print (a is b)

Answer

Output

2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…
Explanation

As corresponding elements of list a and b are equal hence a == b

returns True. a is b returns False as a and b are two different list
objects referencing two different memory locations.

Question 11

Predict the output of following two parts. Are the outputs same?
Are the outputs different? Why?

(a)

L1, L2 = [2, 4] , [2, 4]

L3 = L2
L2[1] = 5
print(L3)

(b)

L1, L2 = [2, 4] , [2, 4]

L3 = list(L2)
L2[1] = 5
print(L3)

Answer

Output of part (a) is:

[2, 5]

Output of part (b) is:

[2, 4]

As we can see, outputs of the two parts are different. The reason is
that in part (a), the statement L3 = L2 creates a shallow copy of L2
in L3 i.e. both the variables L2 and L3 point to the same list.
Hence, when element at index 1 of L2 is changed to 5, that change
is visible in L3 also. On the other hand in part (b), the statement L3
= list(L2) creates a true copy (also called deep copy) of L2 so L3
points to a different list in memory which has the same elements
as L2. Now when element at index 1 of L2 is changed to 5, that
change is not visible in L3.

Question 12

Find the errors:

1. L1 = [1, 11, 21, 31]

2. L2 = L1 + 2
3. L3 = L1 * 2
4. Idx = [Link](45)

Answer

Line 2 — L2 = L1 + 2 will result in error as one element of + is

a list and other is an integer. In Python, operands of +
operator should be of same type.

[Link] 17/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

Line 4 — Idx = [Link](45) will cause an error as 45 is not

present in the list L1.

Question 13a

Find the errors:

L1 = [1, 11, 21, 31]

An = [Link](41)

Answer

[Link](41) will cause an error as 41 is not present in L1.

Question 13b

Find the errors:

L1 = [1, 11, 21, 31]

An = [Link](31)
print(An + 2)

Answer

An + 2 will cause an error because remove() function does not

return the removed element so An will be None. Addition operator
(+) does not allow any of its operands to be None hence, it will
raise a TypeError.

Question 14a

Find the errors:

L1 = [3, 4, 5]
L2 = L1 * 3
print(L1 * 3.0)
print(L2)

Answer

The line print(L1 * 3.0) causes an error as Python does not allow
multiplying a list with a non-int number and 3.0 is of float type.

Question 14b

Find the errors:

L1 = [3, 3, 8, 1, 3, 0, '1', '0', '2', 'e', 'w', 'e', 'r']

print(L1[: :-1])
print(L1[-1:-2:-3])
print(L1[-1:-2:-3:-4])

Answer

The line print(L1[-1:-2:-3:-4]) causes an error as its syntax is

invalid. The correct syntax for slicing a list is L1[start:stop:step].

Question 15

[Link] 18/30
2/4/25, 3:44 PM Chapter 11: List Manipulation | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 11 CBSE & NCERT | Kno…

What will be the output of following code?

x = ['3', '2', '5']

y = ''
while x:
y = y + x[-1]
x = x[:len(x) - 1]
print(y)
print(x)
print(type(x), type(y))

Answer

Output

523
[]
<class 'list'> <class 'str'>

Explanation

The loop while x will continue executing as long as the length of list
x is greater than 0. y is initially an empty string. Inside the loop, we
are adding the last element of x to y and after that we are
removing the last element of x from x. So, at the end of the loop y
becomes 523 and x becomes empty. Type of x and y are list and
str respectively.

Question 16

Complete the code to create a list of every integer between 0 and

100, inclusive, named nums1 using Python, sorted in increasing
order.

Answer

2. counts is add([1, 2], [3, 4])

Answer

1. Output is True as both nums and counts refer to the same list.
2. This will cause an error as add function is not defined in the
above code.

Question 19

What is the output of the following code?

numbers = list(range(0, 51, 4))

results = []
for number in numbers:
if not number % 3:
[Link](number)
print(results)

Answer

Output

[0, 12, 24, 36, 48]

Explanation

list(range(0, 51, 4)) will create a list from 0 to 48 with a step of 4 so

numbers will be [0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48]. For
loop will traverse the list one number at a time. if not number % 3
means if number % 3 is equal to 0 i.e. number is divisible by 3. The
numbers divisible by 3 are added to the results list and after the
loop results list is printed.

Question 20

Following code prints the given list in ascending order. Modify the
code so that the elements are printed in the reverse order of the
result produced by the given code.

numbers = list(range(0, 51, 4))

i = 0
while i < len(numbers):
print(numbers[i] , end = " ")
i += 3
# gives output as : 0 12 24 36 48

Answer

numbers = list(range(0, 51, 4))

i = len(numbers) - 1
while i >= 0:
print(numbers[i] , end = " ")
i -= 3

Question 10

Write a program that reads the n to display nth term of Fibonacci

series.

The Fibonacci sequence works as follows:

element 0 has the value 0

element 1 has the value 1
every element after that has the value of the sum of the two
preceding elements

The beginning of the sequence looks like:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The program prompts for element and prints out the value of that
element of the Fibonacci sequence.

Thus:

input 7, produces 13
input 9, produces 34

Hints:
A Don't try to just type out the entire list. It gets big very fast.
Element 25 is 75205. Element 100 is 354224848179261915075.
