SECTION – C (Marks 20)
Note: Attempt all questions. Marks of each question are given within brackets. (405=20)
Input Operation:
A computer is a data processing machine. Users enter data and instructions
into the computer through keyboard or mouse. It can also be provided to the
computer from a storage device such as hard disk, CD or USB memory. The
input data/instructions are stored in memory for further processing.
Processing Operation:
Microprocessor processes the data according to the instruction given to it.
The microprocessor fetches the data/instructions from the memory and
stores it in instruction register. The control unit then decodes the instruction
to find out which operation is to be performed. After decoding the instruction,
it sends signals to other parts of the computer to execute it.
Storage Operation:
The results produced after processing are stored in memory before they are
sent to the output device or permanent storage device like hard disk.
Output Operation:
The results of data processing stored in memory must be output so that they
can be seen by the user. The control unit displays the results on the monitor
or prints it on the printer. Results can also be saved in a storage device such
as hard disk for use in the future.
Q.4 Explain Command line and Graphical user interfaces with one example
each.
(1.5+1.5+1+1)
Command Line Interface (CLI)
In CLI, commands are given to computer with keyboard. It is based on
textual input. The user types in a command and presses the Enter key to
execute it. Two commonly used operating systems that use CLI are DOS
(Disk Operating System) and UNIX. CLI is difficult to use because users
have to remember the commands to perform any task.
Graphical User Interface (GUI)
GUI is a graphical interface for computer users to interact with computer.
It uses windows, icons, menus and pointer. Window is a rectangular
portion of monitor in which information is displayed. Icon is a graphical
symbol that represents a file, folder, program, device, etc. To perform a
task, the user has to select icons or make choices in menus using a
pointing device such as mouse. MS-Windows, Linux are examples of GUI
operating system.

OR
Describe any two types of unguided transmission media along with their
applications in daily life.
Radio Waves:
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves that are propagated by
antennas.
Radio transmission consists of a transmitter and a receiver.
A transmitter transmits a radio signal to a receiver, which
receives it.
Radio waves are used to transmit music, conversation, pictures and
data.
These waves are invisible and undetectable to human
beings.
The following are some applications of radio waves.
o Radio and television broadcast.
o Cell phones communication.
o Satellite communication.
o Wireless networks and wireless internet.
Infra-red:
Infra-red waves are light energy that we cannot see.
It travels through space at the speed of light.
It is used for short distance communication.
Infra-red waves are usually used in remote controls for television,
DVD players and other similar devices.
It is also used in industrial, scientific and medical appliances and
night- vision devices.

Q.6 Explain DSL and ISDN data communication lines. Also give one merit
and one demerit of each. (1.5+1.5+1+1)
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
DSL provides a very high-speed broadband Internet connection. It is called
broadband because it has broad range of frequencies for transmitting
digital data. Any type of speed that is 256kbps and above is known as
broadband. A DSL modem is required to setup a DSL internet connection.
What ISDN?
ISDN stand for Integrated Services Digital Network.
It provides a maximum speed of 128kbps which is more than Dial-up
connection but less than DSL.
It can transmit both voice and data at the same time over a single
cable.
ISDN service is being replaced by faster DSL service.
OR
What are computer ethics? Write any four moral guidelines for ethical
use of computer technology. (1+1+1+1+1)
Computer ethics means an acceptable behaviour for using computer
technology. Computer user should be honest, respect the rights of
others on the internet and obey laws that apply to online behaviour. We
should not use bad language while chatting and social networking. We
need to respect others views and should not criticize people.
Ethical Use of Computer:
Computer should not be used to harm other people.
Computer users should not break into others computer systems
to steal, change or destroy information.
People should not make illegal copies of copyright
software.
Computer programmers’ users should not create
malicious software.
People should not commit any type of crime with the
help of computers. vii. Computer users should respect
