Question

Assertion (A): The drop() method in Pandas can be used to delete rows and columns from a DataFrame.

Reason (R): The axis parameter in the drop() method specifies whether to delete rows (axis=0) or columns (axis=1).

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is not the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is True and Reason (R) is False.

• Assertion (A) is False, but Reason (R) is True.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are True and Reason (R) is the correct explanation for Assertion (A).

Explanation:

In Pandas, the drop() method is used to remove rows or columns from a DataFrame. The axis parameter specifies what is deleted:

• axis=0 removes rows
• axis=1 removes columns

Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
