Answer 1

𝕾𝖆𝖌𝖆 he thought \n and \t didn't count

Answer 2

S='A\nB\tC'#interpreter consider \n and \t as singler character so you are getting 5
print(len(S))

S=r'A\nB\tC'#note row string indicator r so for that you will get len as 7 because interprter \ and n as seperate character same for \t
print(len(S))

How are you expecting 3 here?
