Python Multiple Choice Question – Looping [set-1]

Python Multiple choice questions based on Looping structure available in python. These looping structures explore the basics of loops and other python data types.

Each MCQ question has four probable solutions and its answer with explanation. Read each question carefully before answering.

Q1. Find the output of the following Python Code

fruits = [“apple”,”banana”,”cherry”]
for  x in fruits:
print(x)
