Question

Assertion (A): The expression (1, 2, 3, 4).append(5) in Python will modify the original sequence datatype.

Reason (R): The append() method adds an element to the end of a list and modifies the list in place.

Options

• Both A and R are True and R is the correct explanation for A.

• Both A and R are True and R is not the correct explanation for A.

• A is True but R is False.

• A is False but R is True.

Answer 1

A is False but R is True.

Explanation:

• Assertion is false because tuples are immutable and do not have an append() method.
• Reason is true but it applies only to lists, not tuples.
