20 Wi-Fi is the name of a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to 2
provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections.

coalition dedicated to the advancement of IEEE 802.16 standards for broadband
wireless access (BWA) networks.

Domain Name: A domain name is a unique name that identifies a particular

website and represents the name of the server where the web pages reside.

URL: The Uniform Resource Locator is a means to locate resources such as web
pages on the Internet. URL is also a method to address the web pages on the
Internet.

Example: http://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/CurriculumMain22/CS2022-
23.pdf
is an URL where cbseacademic.nic.in is the domain name.
21 a. GPRS – General Packet Radio Services 2
b. GSM – Global System for Mobile communications
c. WLL – Wireless Local Loop/Wireless in Local Loop
d. PPP – Point to Point Protocol
22 Positional Parameter - When function calls are made, there is a one to one 2
correspondence between the argument and the parameter based on the
order/position in which the argument appears in the function.
Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z):
m= x/y-z
print(m)
a,b,c = 5,2,3
fun1(a,b,c)
fun1(4,b,b)
#fun1(a,b) #Error as the third argument is missing

Default parameters - Usually when a function is called, the number of arguments

must match exactly the number of parameters, otherwise python gives an error.
But there is an exception, if a function is defined with a default parameter, then
the function call can have less number of arguments than the number of
parameters in the function header.
Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z=2): # z is default parameter
m= x/y-z
print(m)
#def fun2(m=2,n,p): # error default arguments must be rightmost
# return m+n+p
a,b,c= 1,2,3
fun1(a,b,c)
fun1(a,b)
#fun1(b) #error as at least two parameters must be passed
OR
A function can return multiple values which is written after the return statement
and the values are separated by commas. The multiple return values are returned
as a tuple object to the statement that made the function call.
Ex:
def fun1(x,y,z):
return x+y,y+z,z+x
a,b,c= 3,5,9

#multiple returned values accepted as a tuple

m = fun1(a,b,c)
 print(m)

#multiple returned values accepted in multiple variables

p,q,r=fun1(10,11,12)
print(p,q,r)
23 CORRECTED CODE: 2

for Name in ['Aakash', 'Satya', 'Tarushi']:

if Name[0]=='S':
print(Name)
24 Minimum VALUE = 0 2
Maximum VALUE = 3
Options (ii) & (iii)
are incorrect.

25 Alternate Keys are candidate keys which are not selected as Primary Key. 2
Table: STUD
AdmNo RollNo Name
1236 101 Amarnath

1457 102 Piyush

1836 103 Swetha

In the above table STUD, AdmNo and RollNo are candidate keys, If RollNo
is selected as Primary Key then AdmNo will be the alternate key.
