Question

Consider the statements given below and then choose the correct output from the given options:
L = ['TIC', 'TAC']
print(L[::-1])

• A. ['CIT', 'CAT']
• B. ['TIC', 'TAC']
• C. ['CAT', 'CIT']
• D. ['TAC', 'TIC']

Hint:

In Python, [::-1] reverses the list or string completely.
It does not reverse the individual elements unless specified.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The list L is defined as ['TIC', 'TAC'].
The slicing notation [::-1] is used to reverse the entire list.
So, L[::-1] will reverse the order of the elements in the list.
The first element 'TIC' will move to the last position,
and the second element 'TAC' will move to the first position.
Therefore, the output will be ['TAC', 'TIC'].
Options (A) and (C) show the reversed strings, but the strings themselves are not reversed — only the list is reversed.
So, option (D) is the correct answer.
