Final answer:

The statements demonstrate different operations and output in Python, including printing a string, performing divisions, and determining data types. The errors related to the incorrect syntax are also explained.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. print 'Hello, World!'

The output will be: Hello, World!

This statement will print the string 'Hello, World!' to the console. It is a common example used in programming to demonstrate the basic syntax of the print statement.

B. 1/2

The output will be: 0.5

This statement performs a division operation between the numbers 1 and 2 in Python. The result is a float value of 0.5, as both numbers are treated as floating-point numbers by default.

C. type(1/2)

The output will be: class 'float'

The type() function in Python returns the data type of a given object. In this case, it returns the class 'float', indicating that the result of the division operation is a floating-point number.

D. print(01)

The output will be an error.

In Python, leading zeros are not allowed for integer literals. The syntax '01' is not valid, and it will result in a SyntaxError. If you want to represent a number in octal format, you can use the prefix '0o' followed by the octal digits.

E. 1/(2/3)

The output will be: 1.5

This statement performs a division operation between the number 1 and the result of another division operation (2/3). The inner division results in 0.6667 (rounded to four decimal places), and then the outer division calculates 1 divided by 0.6667, resulting in 1.5.
