Q.6.a. Write the full form of
Ans. MICR: Magnetic Ink Character Reader
OMR: Optical Mark Reader
Q.6.b. Define a Program.
Ans. A program is a sequence of step-by-step instructions to perform a particular task.
Q.6.c. What do you understand by operating system? Give two examples.
Ans. an operating system is the master control program that runs the computer. It controls the flow of
signals from the central processing unit to the various parts of the computer.
Some popular operating systems are: Windows, Linux, MAC OS and Android.
Q.6.d. Differentiate b/w Assembly Language and Machine Language.
Ans. Assembly language is a computer language that uses words made with letters of
the English alphabet. Each instruction to the computer is written using a letter
combination.
Machine language is the language that the computer understands and can
execute directly without translation. It is written in the form of a long string of
0s and 1s.
Q.6.e What is the difference b/w a Compiler and an Interpreter?
Ans. A compiler is a program that translates a high-level computer language program
into machine language program. The compiler first reads the whole program and
then at one go translates it into machine language. It reports the program errors
to the user along with the line numbers on which the error has occurred. The
translated program called the object program is saved permanently for future
use.
An interpreter is a program that translates one statement of a high-level
language program into machine code and executes it. It then does the same for
the next statement and proceeds in this way until all the statements in the
program have been translated and executed. An interpreter is a smaller program
than a compiler. The object code produced by the interpreter is not saved. If the
same instruction is needed later, the process will be repeated.
Q.6.f Identify a few instances where LCD projectors are used.
Ans. An LCD projector shows the output from a computer on a large screen. It is
commonly used for displaying presentations during meetings and conferences.
Q.6.j Analyze how the reduced in size and portability of computers have
influenced their usage?
Ans. The technological advances which have led to the making of smaller and more portable
computers which are just as powerful, if not more, than the earlier ones.
Increased processing speeds, storage capacity has made it possible for computers to be
used in all walks of life, examples could include using laptops for office work such as
making presentations and online shopping and many other uses.
Now computers are a part of daily lives, examples should include mention of personal
computers, laptops, palm tops.
Q.6.h. Smart cards hold a great deal of personal information about an individual. Examine
the hazards of having so much information in one place?
Ans. There is no doubt that smart cards have made life a lot easier. By holding a great deal of
information, smart cards have made all aspects of life easier to cope with by putting all of your
personal information on a single chip. But the use of smart cards is not without its dangers. A
smart card contains much of your personal information and if stolen it can be used to access
personal details such as your personal identity number or credit card number and then used to
get financial advantage or commit some fraud; this is what is called identity theft and can
cause the actual owner of the card a lot of trouble.

Q.8 Page-8-9
Q. Difference b/w Input and Output devices with examples.
Ans. Input devices accept input from the user and convert it into a form that the
computer can understand. Its examples are OCR, OMR, MICR
Output devices convey information from the computer to the user in soft form or
in hard copy. Its examples are Printer, Plotter, LCDs
Q. Define Hardware and Software.
Ans. The physical components of the computer that we can see and touch are called
Hardware.
The term software refers to the computer programs that are needed for running a
computer system.
Q. Difference b/w System and Application software
Ans. System software refers to the programs designed to control the operation of a
 computer system
Application software is designed to help users do some type of work.
Q. Four Examples of system software.
Ans. Operating System, Drivers, interpreter, compiler
