1. I want to generate a random secure hex token of 32 bytes to reset the password, which method should I use

secrets.hexToken(32)

secrets.hex_token(32)

secrets.tokenHex(32)

secrets.token_hex(32)

2. Choose the correct function from the following list to get the random integer between 99 to 200, which is divisible by 3.

random.randrange(99, 200, 3)

random.randint(99, 200, 3)

random.random(99, 200, 3)

3. To generate a random float number between 20.5 to 50.5, which function of a random module I need to use

random.random(20.5, 50.5)

random.uniform(20.5, 50.5)

random.randrange(20.5, 50.5)

random.randfloat(20.5, 50.5)

4. The random.seed() method is used to initialize the pseudorandom number generator. The random module uses the seed value as a base to generate a random number. If seed value is not present, it takes the system’s current time.

True

False

5. Choose the correct function to get 3 elements from the list randomly in such a way that each element of the list has a different probability of being selected.

numberList = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500]

random.choices(numberList, weights=(10, 5, 15, 20, 50), k=3)

random.choice(numberList, weights=(10, 5, 15, 20, 50), k=3)

random.sample(numberList, weights=(10, 5, 15, 20, 50), k=3)

6. Which method should I use to get 4 elements from the following list randomly

samplelist = [20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200]

random.choice(samplelist, 4)

random.sample(samplelist, 4)

7. To generate a random secure Universally unique ID which method should I use

uuid.uuid4()

uuid.uuid1()

uuid.uuid3()

random.uuid()

8. str = “PYnative”. Choose the correct function to pick a single character from a given string randomly.

random.sample(str)

random.choice(str)

random.get(str, 1)

9. Which method should i use to capture and change the current state of the random generator

random.getstate()
random.setstate(state)

random.currentstate()
random.setcurrentstate(state)

10. To Generate a random secure integer number, select all the correct options.

random.SystemRandom().randint()

random.System.randint()

secrets.randbelow()

Question 8 is wrong,
```
random.randrange(100, 200, 3)
```
gives e random number in 100, 103.. 199. They are not multiple of 3.

There’s a problem with the questions. Users can’t interact with the questions here. There’s just the submit button which works, but you can’t choose the answer you want.
