+
+1. What will be output of the following code snippet,
+   ::
+
+	from math import sqrt
+        
+	def sqrt(i):
+       	    return i
+	       
+        print sqrt(49)
+
+   a. 7.0

+   #. Error
+
+Answer: 49
+
+2. What will be the output of the following code snippet,
+   ::
+
+        import math
+        
+        def sqrt(i):
+            x = math.sqrt(i)
+	    if int(x) == x:
+	        return int(x)
+	    else:
+	        return x
+
+        print math.sqrt(50), sqrt(50), math.sqrt(49), sqrt(49)

+
+Larger Questions
+----------------
+
+.. A minimum of 2 questions here (along with answers)
+
+1. Write a python script to plot a red colour tan plot between -pi to
+   pi, with x limits from -pi to pi. Label the figure appropriately
+   and with a legend 'tan(x)' and title 'tangent plot'. Label the axes
+   x as 'x' and y as 'tan(x)'. Make sure the script can be executed as
+   a python script.
+
+2. Write a python script to plot a parabola of the form y^2=4ax with a
+   = 0.5(a is the directrix), plot the line in green color add the
+   legend as 'y^2=4ax' and title as 'parabola'. For x from -20 to 20
+   with 100 equidistant points. Make sure the script can be executed
+   as a python script. [`Hint`: Use parametric equations]
