Q. 1 (a) what is meant by computer software? List down key functions performed by
system software. (b)
How to make a chart/graph in MS Excel? Also write down the names of different
types of graphs, available in MS Excel.
System software is a program designed to run a computer's hardware and applications and
manage its resources, such as its memory, processors, and devices. It also provides a platform
for running application software, and system software is typically bundled with a computer's
operating system

Five of the most important ones are the following:

• File management and process scheduling. The OS allocates resources and prioritizes
which programs should receive the resources and in what order. ...
• Processor and memory management. ...
• Error detection. ...
• Security. ...
• Control and management.

• How to make a chart/graph in MS Excel? Also write down the names of different types of
graphs, available in MS Excel.

Create a chart
1. Select the data for which you want to create a chart.
2. Click INSERT > Recommended Charts.
3. On the Recommended Charts tab, scroll through the list of charts that Excel
recommends for your data, and click any chart to see how your data will look. ...
4. When you find the chart you like, click it > OK.Various Chart in Excel, such as List
of Column Chart, Bar Chart, Area Chart, Line Chart, Surface Chart, Scatter Chart, Pie Chart,
Stock Chart, Bubble Chart, and Radar Chart helps in communicating valuable insights when
there are large volumes of data. Many more types of graphs are available in Excel, such
as Hierarchy graph, Radar graph, Waterfall graph, and Combo graphs which are
 combinations of two or more graphs. All these are used based on specific conditions
fulfilled by the data, such as the type of data, the number of data points, etc.24-Aug-2023

What is an operating facility?

Operating Facilities means any Facility, Pooled Facilities or Pooled Guarantee
Facilities which are not Construction Investments and which are currently operating in
accord

(b)Enlist different types of computer operating systems with the help of internet.

The main types of operating system are:

• Multi-tasking operating system.
• Multi-processing operating system.
• Time-sharing operating system.
• Real-time operating system.
• Multi-programming batch operating system.
• Distributed operating system.
• Network operating system.
• Simple batch operating system.
Q. 3 What are the types of network? Differentiate 3-G and 4-G technologies.
Explain the difference between switching and routing with proper examples.
The 3G technology is horizontally lenient. The 4G technology is both vertically as well as
horizontally lenient. The network architecture of the 3G technology is a wide area cell-based
one. The network architecture of the 4G technology is cell-based for a wide area along with the
integration of WLAN

What are the 4 types of networks?

Types of Networks
• PAN (Personal Area Network)
• LAN (Local Area Network)
• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• Explain the difference between switching and routing with proper examples. .

Whereas switching creates a single network made up of individual computers, routing connects
entire networks to each other. Routers perform a role similar to that of switches, but on a much
larger scale. Thus, a router essentially acts as a dispatcher of data through the most efficient
channel; A classic example involves traffic in a road system, in which each driver picks a path
that minimizes their travel time. With such routing, the equilibrium routes can be longer than
optimal for all drivers.

network switch connects devices in a network to one another and enab“speak” by exchanging
data packets. Examples of these devices include computers, printers, and wireless access
points. Switches can be software-based virtual devices or hardware devices that control
physical networks.

What is the difference between routing and routing?

A routed protocol can be used by all hosts on the internetwork. On the other hand, a
routing protocol is only employed when routers are involved. Its goal is to assist routers
in creating and maintaining routing tables.
Q. 4 (a) Explain the basic concept of multimedia. Also identify at least ten different

Examples of multimedia and also describe five of them.

Write some examples of multimedia applications in basic education and
entertainment
Examples. Well known examples of media player software include Windows Media Player, VLC
media player, iTunes, Win amp, Media Player Classic, Media on key, foobar2000, AIMP,
Music Bee and River Media Center. Most of these also include music library managers.

Multimedia refers to the computer-assisted integration of text, drawings, still and moving
images(videos) graphics, audio, animation, and any other media in which any type of
information
(b) Write some examples of multimedia applications in basic education and
entertainment
Multimedia learning describes learning through the use of pictures and words.
Examples of multimedia learning include watching a PowerPoint presentation,
watching a pre-recorded lecture or reading a physics textbook.can is expressed,
stored, communicated, and processed digitally.
• Voice Mail.
• Electronic Mail.
 • Multimedia based FAX.
• Office Needs.
• Employee Training.
• Sales and Other types of Group Presentation.
• Records Management.
• Multimedia learning describes learning through the use of pictures and words.
Examples of multimedia learning include watching a PowerPoint presentation,
watching a pre-recorded lecture or reading a physics textbook.
• Q. 5 (a) What is programming language? How computer program is related with a
programming language. (b)
What are the important parameters that influence the selection of a programming
language?

• A programming language is a set of instructions written by a programmer to

deliver instructions to the computer to perform and accomplish a task. This set of
instructions is usually viewed as incomprehensible code structured fde
programming language syntax.
• A programming language is a set of symbols, grammars and rules with the help of which
one is able to translate algorithms to programs that will be executed by the computer.
The programmer communicates with a machine using programming languages. Most of
the programs have a highly structured set of rules.
(b)What are the important parameters that influence the selection of a programming
language?

There are many factors that influence the choice of programming languages, the main factors
are cost, organization policy, availability, reliability, suitability, and expandability. All these
factors should be considered when choosing a programming language.

• Type of application. Web applications, mobile applications, embedded firmware, etc. ...
• Complexity of the application. ...
• Company culture. ...
• Time to market. ...
• Maintainability. ...
• Scalability and performance. ...
• Security
• Choosing a programming language for an IT solution is a crucial decision that can affect the
quality, performance, cost, and maintainability of your project. As an IT consultant, you need to
consider several factors before recommending a language to your client or team. When
selecting a programming language, some of the factors for programmers to consider include the
targeted platform, production time, language elasticity, community/support, the programmer's
experience with the language, and the language's current popularity.. There are many factors
that influence the choice of programming languages, the main factors are cost, organization
policy, availability, reliability, suitability, and expandability. All these factors should be
considered when choosing a programming language.
