25 Differentiate between Viruses and Trojans in context of networking and data communication threats. 2
OR
Differentiate between Website and webpage. Write any two popular example of online shopping.
Ans Virus:
Virus is a computer program or software that connect itself to another software or computer program to
harm computer system. When the computer program runs attached with virus it perform some action
such as deleting a file from the computer system. Virus can’t be controlled by remote.
Trojan Horse:
Trojan Horse does not replicate itself like virus and worms. It is a hidden piece of code which steal the
important information of user. For example, Trojan horse software observe the e-mail ID and password
while entering in web browser for logging.

OR

Web Page is a document or a page where there is information. We can see those pages in the browser.
Web Page is a single page with information. It can be in any form like texts, images or videos.
Whereas the Website is a collection of webpages. The website has its own domain name which is unique
throughout the world. Anything can be stored on a website like photos, videos, texts etc .
Popular example of online shopping : Amazon,Flipcart etc
26 Expand the following terms: 2
a. HTTP b. FLOSS c. PAN d. IRC
Ans HTTP – Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

27 Differentiate between call by value and call by reference with a suitable example for each. 2
OR
Explain the use of return key word used in a function with the help of a suitable example.
Ans In the event that you pass arguments like whole numbers, strings or tuples to a function, the passing is
like call-by-value because you can not change the value of the immutable objects being passed to the
function. Whereas passing mutable objects can be considered as call by reference because when their
values are changed inside the function, then it will also be reflected outside the function.

OR

The return statement is used to return a value of function to its calling program.
Example:
def mysum(a,b):
return a+b
print(mysum(10,20))

Output: 30
28 Rewrite the following code in Python after removing all syntax error(s). Underline each correction done 2
in the code.
p=30
for c in range(0,p)
If c%4==0:
print (c*4)
Elseif c%5==0:
print (c+3)
else
print(c+10)
Ans p=30
for c in range(0,p):
if c%4==0:
print (c*4)
elif c%5==0:
print (c+3)
else:
print(c+10)
29 What possible outputs(s) are expected to be displayed on screen at the time of execution of the program 2
from the following code? Also specify the maximum values that can be assigned to each of the variables
Lower and Upper.
import random
AR=[20,30,40,50,60,70];
Lower =random.randint(1,4)
Upper =random.randint(2,5)
for K in range(Lower, Upper +1):
print (AR[K],end=”#“)

(i) 40# (ii) 40#50#60# (iii) 50# (iv) All

Ans All of these

30 What do you understand by Foreign Key in a table? Give a suitable example of Foreign Key from a table 2
containing some meaningful data.
Ans A Foreign Key creates a link between tables. It references the primary key in another table and links it.
For example, the DeptID in the Employee table is a foreign key –
31 Differentiate between fetchone() and fetchall() methods with suitable examples for each. 2
Ans fetchall() fetches all the rows of a query result. An empty list is returned if there is no record to fetch the
cursor. fetchone() method returns one row or a single record at a time. It will return None if no more
rows / records are available. Any example.
32 Categorize the following as DML and DDL Commands: 2
SELECT, INSERT, CREATE, UPDATE, ALTER, DELETE, DROP
Ans DDL – Create, Alter, Drop
DML- Select, Insert, Update, Delete
33 Find and write the output of the following Python code: 2
def Show(str):
m=""
for i in range(0,len(str)):
if(str[i].isupper()):
m=m+str[i].lower()
elif str[i].islower():
m=m+str[i].upper()
else:
if i%2==0:
m=m+str[i-1]
else:
m=m+"#"
print(m)
Show('HappyBirthday')
Ans hAPPYbIRTHDAY

which all elements of the list are shifted to left.
Sample Input Data of the list
Lst= [ 10,20,30,40,12,11], n=2
Output Lst = [30,40,12,11,10,20]
Ans def LMove(Lst,n):
L=len(Lst)
for x in range(0,n):
y=Lst[0]
for i in range(0,L-1):
 Lst[i]=Lst[i+1]
Lst[L-1]=y
print(Lst)
#Note : Using of any correct code giving the same result is also accepted.
35 Write a function in Python that counts the number of “Me” or “My” words present in a text file 3
“STORY.TXT”. If the “STORY.TXT” contents are as follows:
My first book was Me and My Family.
It gave me chance to be Known to the world.

The output of the function should be: Count of Me/My in file: 4

OR

Write a function AMCount() in Python, which should read each character of a text file STORY.TXT, should
count and display the occurrences of alphabets A and M (including small cases a and m too).
Example: If the file content is as follows:
Updated information As simplified by official websites.

The AMCount() function should display the output as: A or a: 4 M or m :2

Ans def displayMeMy():
num=0
f=open("story.txt","rt")
N=f.read()
M=N.split()
for x in M:
if x=="Me" or x== "My":
print(x)
num=num+1

f=open("story.txt","r")
A,M=0,0
r=f.read()
for x in r:
if x[0]=="A" or x[0]=="a" :
A=A+1

elif x[0]=="M" or x[0]=="m":

M=M+1
f.close()
print("A or a: ",A)
 print("M or m: ",M)

 ii)The most suitable place/ building to house the server of this organization would be building
Research Lab, as this building contains the maximum number of computers.

would ideally be needed along their path to avoid loss of signals during the course of data flow in
this route. For layout2, since the cabling distance between Store to Research Lab is quite large,
so a repeater would ideally be placed.
b) In both the layouts, a Hub/Switch each would be needed in all the buildings to interconnect the
group of cables from the different computers in each building.
