[Solved] Consider this code snippet representing supply data: lithium_supply = 1000 cobalt_supply = 500 required_lithium = 1200 required_cobalt = 400 if lithium_supply < required_lithium:... | EV Technology

EV Technology - EV Industry and Policy

Consider this code snippet representing supply data:

lithium_supply = 1000
cobalt_supply = 500
required_lithium = 1200
required_cobalt = 400

if lithium_supply < required_lithium:
    lithium_status = "Shortage"
else:
    lithium_status = "Sufficient"

if cobalt_supply < required_cobalt:
    cobalt_status = "Shortage"
else:
    cobalt_status = "Sufficient"

print(lithium_status, cobalt_status)

What will be the output?

AShortage Sufficient

BSufficient Shortage

CShortage Shortage

DSufficient Sufficient

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Compare lithium supply and requirement
Lithium supply is 1000, required is 1200, so supply < required means lithium_status = "Shortage".
Step 2: Compare cobalt supply and requirement
Cobalt supply is 500, required is 400, so supply >= required means cobalt_status = "Sufficient".
Final Answer:
Shortage Sufficient -> Option A
Quick Check:
1000 < 1200 = Shortage, 500 >= 400 = Sufficient [OK]

Quick Trick: Check supply vs requirement for each metal [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Mixing up less than and greater than signs
Confusing lithium and cobalt variables
Assuming both are shortages
