SECTION B
19. RAM is volatile memory. 2
Data in RAM can be modified, erased, or read. (1/2 marks for each difference)
ROM is non-volatile memory
Data in ROM can only be read, it cannot be modified or erased
Or (1/2 marks for each difference)
Interpreter: Interpreter is a type of system software that translates and executes instructions
written in a computer program lini-by-line, unit by unit etc.
It is slower in execution because each time when you run the program translation is required.
Compiler: Compiler is another type of system software that translates and executes instructions
written in a computer program in one go.
Once compiled program need not to translate again so
it works faster.
20. Proprietary refers to software that is owned by the individual or company who (1 for def. &1 example)
published it and require license. Ex- Microsoft Windows, Adobe Flash Player 2

21. Utilities are those application programs that assist the computer by performing housekeeping 2
functions like backing up disk or scanning/cleaning viruses or arranging information etc.
example - Antivirus software.

22. 1) Syntax 2) Semantic 3) logical 4) Run time Explain with exa 2

Or
System software is software
23. yes, python a case sensitive language because upper case and lower case letter are treated differently. 2
24. Application software are software used for specific purpose .Ex- Ms –office, Adode 2

1
25.
num1 = float(input("Enter first number: ")) 1 marks for logic
num2 = float(input("Enter second number: ")) 1 marks for input output
num3 = float(input("Enter third number: "))
if (num1 > num2) and (num1 > num3):
largest = num1
elif (num2 > num1) and (num2 > num3):
largest = num2
else:
largest = num3
print("The largest number is",largest)

26. a) 1 b) 2 c) 1.0 1mark each

27. each 11/2

a) 3- x*y*math.exp(3*z) + 5*z b)math.fabs(y- math.exp(4*x)+math.pow(x,4))
28. false 1mark each
true
false

29: In print p should be lower case. (1 mark finding error and 1for each correction)

Variable name is not defined.

30. 400 50 (1 mark for each output)

450
Or
num = int(input("Enter the number: ")) 1 mark for input/output
for i in range(1, 11): 1 for logic
print(num,"X",i,"=",num * i)

Q31. 1 mark for each

a) pow-The pow() function returns the value of x to the power of y (xy). (write example)

b) ceil- This function returns the smallest integral value greater than the number

c) sqrt- The math.sqrt() method returns the square root of a number

d) fabs- This function returns the absolute value of the number.

[1 for types and 1 for each explanation]

32. Sequence ,Selection ,Iteration (Write name and explain with example)

33. L1=L1+4 - it will give error when anything other than list is added in list.

L1=L1*4 – it will replicate the list 4 times and store in list L1. Ex -L1=[1,2] then,

L1= L1*4 =[1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2]

Or (1 mark each)

(a)17 (b)True (c) 17.0 (d) 2.0 e) False

2
34. (i) An identifier must start with a letter or underscore followed by any number of digits and/or letters.

(ii) No reserved word or standard identifier should be used.

(iii) No special character (Other than underscore) should be included in the identifier.

(iv) Identifier not started with digit. Ex 2x I wrong identifier

(v) lower and upper case letters are treated differently.

or

Tokens are the smallest unit of the program. (Define each)

There are following tokens in Python: Reserved words or Keywords, Identifiers, Literals , Operators ,
Punctuators.

35.
a)false b) 4
[9,7,5,3] 2
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,3,4,5,2]
or

(a) L1[1]=17
(b) L1.append(4)
L1.append(6) 1 marks each
(c) list.pop(0)
(d) list.sort()
(e) list.insert(3,25)
