Assertion (A): The local and global variables declared with the same name in the function are treated in the same manner by the Python interpreter.
Reasoning (R): The variable declared within the function block is treated as local, whereas the variable declared outside the function block will be referred to as a global variable.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.

Answer
A is false but R is true.
Explanation
When a variable shares the same name both locally within a function and globally outside it, the Python interpreter treats them differently based on the scope where they are accessed. Local variables, declared within a function, are accessible only within that function and don't affect the global variable of the same name. The interpreter prioritizes the local variable over the global one within the function's scope. However, globally declared variables are accessible throughout the program, and their value can be modified or accessed from any function or block.

Assertion (A): If the arguments in a function call statement match the number and order of arguments as defined in the function definition, such arguments are called positional arguments.
Reasoning (R): During a function call, the argument list first contains default argument(s) followed by positional argument(s).
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Assertion (A): Local Variables are accessible only within a function or block in which they are declared.
Reasoning (R): Global variables are accessible in the whole program.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Assertion (A): The functions developed and defined by language programmers and provided within the framework of the language are termed as built-in functions.
Reasoning (R): Each and every built-in function contains a set of statements to perform a specific task. They are independent entities and, hence, not included within any module or object.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Assertion (A): To use positional arguments, the arguments need to be passed in the same order as their respective parameters in the function definition.
Reasoning (R): If three positional arguments are to be passed to the function, the first argument will be assigned to the first parameter, second argument to the second parameter and the third argument to the third parameter.
