1) What is an operating system? Give an example.

Ans:

An operating system is an integrated set of programs that manages various resources and the
overall operations of a computer system. It is designed to support the various activities of the
computer system in a systematic way.

2) Why do we need an operating system?

Ans:

We need an operating system because it enables users' interaction with computer systems by
acting as an interface between users or application programs and the computer hardware.

3) What are the functions of an operating system? Explain.

Ans:

The functions of an operating system are:

1. Booting the computer — It helps in starting-up the computer system and sets it up for
the user to start using it.
2. Loading the programs in the memory — After the computer is booted, it loads a set
of programs into the primary memory that are essential for the proper functioning of the
computer system.
3. Managing Resources — It coordinates between the software and hardware in the
computer system.
4. Detecting and correcting errors — If the supporting hardware or software does not
work properly, then the operating system tries to rectify it and also guides the user to
take necessary steps.
5. Ensuring data security — It keeps different programs and data in such a way that they
don't interfere with each other.

4) Enlist three features of MS DOS as a character user interface.

Ans:
The features of the MS DOS are:
 i) It is a portable operating system.
ii) It is a single user operating system.
iii) It may be contained in a floppy disk, hard disk or a pen drive.
5) What is meant by multitasking? Give an example.
Ans:
Multitasking, in an operating system, is allowing a user to perform more than one
computer task at a time.
Ex: editing a word document while browsing the internet.
6) What are the advantages of 'Windows' as an operating system?
Ans:

The advantages of 'Windows' as an operating system are:
