98
D. None of the mentioned

Show Answer

Answer:-B. 9 27

Q 10. What will be the output of the following Python code?

def sum(*args):
”’Function returns the sum of all values”’
r = 0
for i in args:
r += i
return r
print(sum.__doc__)
print(sum(1, 2, 3))
print(sum(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
A .Function returns the sum of all values
