Assertion (A): Positional arguments in Python functions must be passed in the exact order in which they are defined in the function signature.

Reasoning (R): This is because Python functions automatically assign default values to positional arguments.

Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A.

A is True but R is False. 

A is False but R is True. 

Assertion (A): A SELECT command in SQL can have both WHERE and HAVING clauses.

You have a stack named BooksStack that contains records of books. Each book record is represented as a list containing book_title, author_name, and publication_year.

Write the following user-defined functions in Python to perform the specified operations on the stack BooksStack:

1. push_book(BooksStack, new_book): This function takes the stack BooksStack and a new book record new_book as arguments and pushes the new book record onto the stack.
2. pop_book(BooksStack): This function pops the topmost book record from the stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display "Underflow".
3. peep(BookStack): This function displays the topmost element of the stack without deleting it. If the stack is empty, the function should display 'None'.

Write the definition of a user-defined function 'push_even(N)' which accepts a list of integers in a parameter 'N' and pushes all those integers which are even from the list 'N' into a Stack named 'EvenNumbers'. Write function pop_even() to pop the topmost number from the stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display "Empty". Write function Disp_even() to display all element of the stack without deleting them. If the stack is empty, the function should display 'None'.

For example:

If the integers input into the list 'VALUES' are:
[10, 5, 8, 3, 12]

Then the stack 'EvenNumbers' should store:
[10, 8, 12]
