Section C (Long Answer)
13. Explain any three input devices.
●
Keyboard:The primary input device for entering textand commands.
●
Mouse:Used for pointing, clicking, and navigatingo n the computer screen.
●
Scanner:Converts physical documents (like paper)into digital images.
14. Discuss various secondary memory devices.
●
Hard Disk Drive (HDD):Stores large amounts of dataand is relatively slow.
●
Solid State Drive (SSD):Faster than HDDs but moreexpensive.
●
USB Flash Drive:Portable storage device for transferringdata.
15. Explain E- mail in detail.
●
E- mail is a system for sending and receiving electronic messages.
●
It consists of a sender's address, a recipient's address, a subject line, and the message
body.
●
E- mails can be sent with attachments (files).
●
Common email protocols include POP3, IMAP, and SMTP.
16. Explain Ring Topology, Star Topology, and Bus Topology.
●
Ring Topology:Devices are connected in a circularf ashion. A message is passed from
o ne device to the next until it reaches its destination.
●
Star Topology:A ll devices are connected to a centralhub. Data is transmitted from the
central hub to the desired device.
●
Bus Topology:Devices are connected to a single cable.Data is transmitted along the
cable to all devices, but only the intended recipient processes it.
17. Write short notes on:
●
A LU:Performs arithmetic and logical operations ondata.
●
Memory:Stores data and instructions.
●
CU:Controls the execution of instructions.
18. Discuss any three commands of DOS.
●
DIR:Displays a list of files and directories.
●
COPY:Copies files from one location to another.
●
DEL:Deletes files.
19. Draw block diagram of a computer system.
20. What do you understand by operating system? Explain different types of operating
s ystems.
●
A n operating system is a software that manages hardware and software resources.
●
Types of operating systems:
○
Single- user, single- task:One user can perform onetask at a time (e.g., MS- DOS).
○
Single- user, multi- task:One user can perform multipletasks simultaneously (e.g.,
Windows 10).
○
Multi- user, multi- task:Multiple users can performmultiple tasks simultaneously
(e.g., Linux).
21. Discuss application of information technology in various fields of life.
●
Education:E- learning, online courses, digital textbooks.
●
Healthcare:Electronic health records, telemedicine,medical research.
●
Business:E- commerce, online banking, automation.
●
Entertainment:Online streaming, video games, socialmedia.
22. Discuss primary memory in detail.
●
Primary memory (RAM) is used to store data and instructions currently being processed
by the CPU.
●
It is volatile, meaning data is lost when the power is turned off.
●
Types of RAM:
○
DRAM:Dynamic RAM, the most common type.
○
SRAM:Static RAM, faster but more expensive.
23. Discuss different types of computers on the basis of their size and functions.
●
Supercomputers:Powerful machines used for complexcalculations.
●
Mainframes:Large computers used for large- scale dataprocessing.
●
Minicomputers:Mid- sized computers used in businessesand organizations.
●
Microcomputers:Personal computers (PCs) and laptops.
