a) What is meant by computer software? Differentiate between system software
and application software:
64
Computer software refers to a set of instructions that tell a computer what tasks to
perform and how to perform them. It includes programs, libraries, and data that
-4
operate the hardware and enable users to interact with the computer.
14
hardware resources and provide foundational services for other software. System
software ensures that hardware and software components can communicate
effectively. Examples include device drivers, which allow peripherals (like printers
and keyboards) to work with the computer, and utilities for managing files and
settings.
Word Processing: Word processing refers to the creation, editing, formatting, and
printing of documents using specialized software known as word processors. These
programs provide tools that simplify text manipulation and document preparation.
1. Text Editing: Word processors allow users to input and edit text efficiently.
This includes functions like inserting, deleting, copying, and pasting text
9
within a document.

2. Formatting Options: Users can format text in various styles, fonts, sizes, and
67
colors. Additionally, word processors enable alignment adjustments (left,
center, right, justified), line spacing modifications, and paragraph indentation.
3. Document Templates: Many word processors offer pre-designed templates
64
for different types of documents, such as resumes, letters, reports, and
newsletters. Templates provide a structured format that users can customize
-4
identify and correct spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. This helps
ensure that documents are accurate and professional.

5. Search and Replace: Users can quickly search for specific words or phrases
within a document and replace them with alternative text. This feature saves
time and improves document accuracy.
6. Tables and Graphs: Word processors support the creation and manipulation
of tables and graphs within documents. Users can insert tables for organizing
data or graphs to illustrate numerical information.
7. Images and Multimedia: Users can insert images, shapes, and multimedia
elements (audio, video) into documents. These features enhance document
presentation and convey information more effectively.
8. Collaboration Tools: Many modern word processors offer collaboration
features, allowing multiple users to edit a document simultaneously. Users can
track changes, leave comments, and review document history.
9. Printing and Sharing: Word processors facilitate document sharing via
email or cloud storage platforms. They also provide options for printing

3. Linux: Linux is an open-source operating system kernel originally developed
by Linus Torvalds. It is widely used in servers, embedded systems, and as the
64
basis for various distributions (distros) such as Ubuntu, Fedora, and CentOS.
Linux is known for its stability, security, and flexibility.
4. iOS: Developed by Apple Inc., iOS is the operating system for mobile devices
-4
like iPhones and iPads. It provides a touch-based interface and supports a vast
ecosystem of mobile applications (apps) through the App Store.

Network Connection and IP-Setting:
3
67
Network Connection: A network connection enables devices to communicate and
share resources such as files, printers, and internet access. It can be established using
64
wired connections (Ethernet) or wireless connections (Wi-Fi). Network connections
require devices to be configured with appropriate settings, including IP addresses,
subnet masks, and gateway addresses, to ensure proper communication within the
-4
network.

communicate with each other across networks, whether local (LAN) or global
(Internet). IP settings include:

A communication system is designed to transmit information from a sender to a
-4
effectively:
Communication media are the physical channels through which data or information
is transmitted from one location to another. They can be broadly categorized into:
1. Wired Media:
9
o Twisted Pair Cable: Consists of pairs of insulated copper wires
3
twisted together. Commonly used for telephone lines and Ethernet
networks.
67
o Coaxial Cable: Uses a central copper conductor surrounded by
insulation, a metallic shield, and an outer insulation layer. It's used for
64
cable TV and high-speed internet connections.
o Fiber Optic Cable: Transmits data using light pulses through thin

• Characteristics:
9
o Discrete Signals: Digital signals are discrete and have precise levels (0
3
or 1), which makes them less susceptible to noise and distortion
compared to analog signals.
67
o Signal Quality: Digital signals can be regenerated and retransmitted
64
without degradation, allowing for reliable long-distance transmission.
o Examples: Digital transmission is used in digital telephony (VoIP),
internet communication (email, web browsing), digital TV broadcasts,
