(c) megabyte: This is the unit of memory in computer. 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes
(d) gigabyte: This is the unit of memory in computer. 1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes
(e) terabyte: This is the unit of memory in computer. 1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes.
Short Answer Type Questions
Q.1 State the basic units of computer. Name the subunits that make up the
CPU, and give the function of each of the unit.
Ans: Basic units of computer are Input Unit, Central Processing Unit and Output
Unit. Sub unites of CPU are Arithmetical Logical Unit(ALU), Control Unit (CU)
and Memory Unit(MU).
Q.2 What is the function of memory? What are its measuring units?
Ans: The computer memory is a temporary storage area. It holds the data and
instructions that the Central Processing Unit (CPU) needs. Before a program can
run, the program is loaded from some storage medium into the memory. This
allows the CPU direct access to the program. Its measuring units are byte,
kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte etc.
Q.3 Why is primary memory termed as „destructive write‟ memory but

„non-destructive read‟ memory?
Ans: The primary memory is called destructive write because the data enter here
are temporary.
That‟s why your RAM gets cleared after every restart.
Q.4 What is the role of CPU of a mobile system?

Ans: A mobile processor is found in mobile computers and cellphones.
A CPU chip is designed for portable computers, it is typically housed in a smaller
chip package, but more importantly, in order to run cooler, it uses lower voltages
than its desktop counterpart and has more sleep mode capability. A mobile
processor can be throttled down to different power levels or sections of the chip
can be turned off entirely when not in use. Further, the clock frequency may be
stepped down under low processor loads. This stepping down conserves power
and prolongs battery life.

Q.5 What is SoC? how it is different from CPU? Why is it considered a better
development?
Ans: A system on a chip (SoC) combines the required electronic circuits of various
computer components onto a single, integrated chip (IC). SoC is a complete
electronic substrate system that may contain analog, digital, mixed-signal or
radio frequency functions. Its components usually include a graphical processing
unit (GPU), a central processing unit (CPU) that may be multi-core, and system
memory (RAM).
Because SOC includes both the hardware and software, it uses less power, has
better performance, requires less space and is more reliable than multi-chip
systems. Most system-on- chips today come inside mobile devices like
smartphones and tablets. These are considered a better development because of
their small size and speed capability.
Q.6 What are various

categories of software? Ans:
Software are classified into
following categories –
(i) System Software
a. Operating System
b. Language Processor
(ii) Application Software
a. Packages
b. Utilities
c. Customized software
d. Developer Tools
Q.7 What is the difference between an interpreter and a compiler?

Ans: Interpreter: Interpreter is a type of system software that translates and executes
instructions written in a computer program lini-by-line, unit by unit etc. It is
slower in execution because each time when you run the program translation is
required.
Compiler: Compiler is another type of system software that translates and
executes instructions written in a computer program in one go. Once compiled
program need not to translate again so it works faster.
Q.8 What is application software? Why it is required?

Ans: Application software is the set of programs necessary to carry out operations for
a specific task. Such as for word processing there are many application software
like MS-Word, Wordpad etc. These software are required to perform special task
using the computer like painting, recording, typing, data handling etc.
Q.9 Briefly explain the basic architecture of a computer.

Ans: Computer organization refers to logical structure of a computer describing how its
components are connected to one another, how they affect one another‟s
functioning and contributes to overall performance of computer.
Computers follow the „IPO‟ principal i.e.
Input →Process →Output
(That means a certain
input is processed to
Generate specific output)
Q.10 What do you understand by input unit? What is its significance? What
does computer system consist of?
Ans: Input unit is formed by the input devices(Keyboard, mouse, MICR, OBCR etc.)
attached to the computer. Input unit is responsible for taking input and
converting it into computer understandable form(the binary code). Some
common input devices are:
(i) Keyboard
(viii) Magnetic Ink Character
(ii) Mouse Reader
(iii) Microphone (ix) Touch Pad
(iv) Scanner (x) Track Ball
(v) Webcam (xi) Joy stick
(vi) Optical Bar Code Reader (xii) Touch Screen
(vii) Optical Mark Reader (xiii) Biometric Sensors. Etc.
Q.11 What is the function of CPU in a computer system? What are its sub units?
Ans: The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is a piece of hardware that carries
out the instructions of a computer program. It performs the basic arithmetical,
logical, and input/output operations of a computer system. The CPU is like the
brains of the computer - every instruction,
no matter how simple, has to go through the CPU. So let's say you press the
letter 'k' on your keyboard and it appears on the screen - the CPU of your
computer is what makes this possible. The CPU is sometimes also referred to as
the central processor unit, or processor for short. So when you are looking at the
specifications of a computer at your local electronics store, it typically refers to
the CPU as the processor. Its sub units are:

(i) Control Unit
(ii) Arithmetical and Logical Unit (ALU)
(iii) Memory Unit
Q.12 What functions are performed by the control unit?

Ans: The CU controls and guides the interpretation, flow and manipulation of all data
and information. CU sends control signals until the required operations are done
properly by ALU and memory. Another function of CU is the program execution.
It means carrying out all the instructions stored in the program. CU gets program
instruction from the memory and executes them one after the other. CU acts as
a supervisor by controlling and guiding the operation taking place.
Q.13 Distinguish between CPU and ALU?

Ans: Difference Between ALU and CPU is that arithmetic logic unit (ALU),
another component of the processor, performs arithmetic, comparison, and other
operations. While Processor also central processing unit (CPU), interprets and
carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer.
The main difference between CPU and ALU is that the CPU is an electronic
circuit that handles instructions to operate the computer while the ALU is a
subsystem of the CPU that performs arithmetic and logical operations.
Q.14 What is the function of output unit in a computer system?

Ans: Input devices are the hardware that give computers instructions. Output devices
relay the response from the computer in the form of a visual response (monitor),
sound (speakers) or media devices (CD or DVD drives). The purpose of these
devices is to translate the machine's response to a usable form for the computer
user.
Q.15 Distinguish between internal and external memory.

Ans: Internal memory is usually chips or modules that you attach directly to
the motherboard. Internal Memory is a circular disc that continuously rotates as
the computer accesses its data. External memory often comes in the form of USB
flash drives; CD, DVD, and other optical discs; and portable hard drives.
Q.16 What are RAM and ROM? How are they alike? How are they different?
What are PROM, EPROM, EEPROM?
Ans: A ROM chip is a non-volatile storage medium, which means it does not require a
constant source of power to retain the information stored on it.
A RAM chip is volatile, which means it loses any information it is holding when the
power is turned off. Both of them are known as primary memory as they can
directly work with CPU.
▪ Read Only Memory (ROM)
▪ Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM)
▪ Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM)
▪ Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Q.17 What are major functional components of a mobile system?

Ans: Major functional components of a mobile system are-
(i) Mobile Processor
a. Communications Processing Unit
b. Application Processing Unit
c. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
(ii) SoC (System on a chip)
(iii) Display Subsystem
a. Display Screen
b. Touch Sensitive Interface
c. Touch Sensitive Keyboards
(iv) Camera Subsystem
(v) Mobile System Memory
a. RAM
b. ROM
(vi) Storage
(vii) Power Management Subsystem
Q.18 Draw a block diagram depicting organization of a mobile system.
Ans:
Q.19 What is the role of Power Management Unit in a mobile system?

Ans: This subsystem is responsible for providing power to a mobile system. The
mobile systems work on limited power provided through an attached battery
unit. This system has a battery management system that works with a battery
charger and a battery unit and provides power to the mobile system in required
form.
It also contains a collection of different functions like battery charging,
monitoring and supplying many different voltages these systems require. It also
contains software controlled turn-on and turn-off feature to optimize the power
consumption and battery life.
Q.20 What does the communication processor do?

Ans: This subsystem is responsible for making and receiving phone calls on a mobile
handset. It has a digital signal processor that helps it work with RF Transceiver
and the Audio subsystem.
Q.21 What is GPU? How is it useful?

Ans: Graphics Processing Unit assists the CPU by handling the visuals, other
graphically-rich applications. In short, GPU handles all graphics-related chores
of a mobile CPU.
Q.22 What is system software?

Ans: The software that controls internal computer operations is called system
software. It manages all the resources of a system. Its example is Operating
System.
Q.23 Discuss the role of utility software in the context of computer

performance?
Ans: Utilities are those application programs that assist the computer by performing
housekeeping functions like backing up disk or scanning/cleaning viruses or
arranging information etc. its example is Antivirus software.
Q.24 What is the importance of an OS?

Ans: An operating system is a program which acts as an interface between a user and
the hardware. It manages all the resources of the computer system. It provides
and environment to the user to work with. All the application are installed after
the operating system is installed. It manages memory, processing, storage,
memory etc.
Q.25 How are software libraries useful? Name some software libraries of
Python.
Ans: A software library is a predefined and available to use, suit of data and
programming code in the form of prewritten code/ functions/scripts/classes etc.
that can be used in the development of the new software programs and
applications.
Some software library in python are:
(i) NumPy (numerical Python)
(ii) SciPy (Scientific Python)
(iii) Pandas Library
Q.26 What is the utility of these software?

(a) Disk defragmentor (b) Backup Software
Ans: (a) Disk defragmentor: A file is fragmented when it becomes too large for your
computer to store in a single location on a disk. When this happens, your
computer splits the file up and stores in pieces. You can use fragmented files,
but it takes your computer longer to access them.
(b) Backup Software: This utility program facilitates the backing-up of disk.
Back-up means duplicating the disk information so that in case of any damage
or data-loss, this backed-up data may be used.

(c) print(x = y = 5)
Ans: (a) Name 'x' is not defined.

(b) Unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'int'.
(c) Invalid Syntax.

Q.1 What is the difference between a keyword and an identifier?
Ans: Difference between Keyword and Identifier: Every language has keywords
and identifiers, which are only understood by its compiler. Keywords are
predefined reserved words, which possess special meaning. An identifier is a
unique name given to a particular variable, function or label of class in the
program.
Q.2 What are literals in Python? How many types of Literals allowed in Python?
Ans: Literals: Python comes with some built-in objects. Some are used so often
that Python has a quick way to make these objects, called literals.The literals
include the string, Unicode string, integer, float, long, list, tuple and dictionary
types.
Q.3 How many types of sequences are supported in Python?

Ans: Three Types of Sequences are supported in python:
(i) String
(ii) List
(iii) Tuple
Q.4 What factors guide the choice of identifiers in program?

Ans: (i) An identifier must start with a letter or underscore followed by any number of
digits and/or letters.
(ii) No reserved word or standard identifier should be used.
(iii) No special character (Other than underscore) should be included in the identifier.
Q.5 What is the difference between an expression and a statement in Python?

Ans: A statement is an instruction that the Python interpreter can execute. We have
only seen the assignment statement so far. Some other kinds of
statements that we‟ll see shortly are while statements, for statements, if
statements, and import statements. (There are other kinds too!)
An expression is a combination of values, variables, operators, and calls to

functions. Expressions need to be evaluated. If you ask Python to print an
expression, the interpreter evaluates the expression and displays the result.
Q.6 What are tokens in Python? How many types of tokens allowed in Python?
Ans: Tokens are the smallest unit of the program. There are following tokens in Python:
• Reserved words or Keywords
• Identifiers
• Literals Definition of all tokens may come. Which
is not given
• Operators in this question bank.
• Punctuators
Q.7 What are operators? What is their function? Give examples of some
unary and binary operators.
Ans: “Operators are those symbols used with operands, which tells compiler which
operation is to be done on operands.” in other words – “operators are tokens
that trigger some computation/action when applied to variables and other
objects in an expression.”
Operators are of following types:
▪ Unary operators like (+) Unary Plus, (-) Unary Minus, not etc.
▪ Binary Operators like (+) addition, (*) multiplication, and etc.
Q.8 What is block/code block/suit in Python?

Ans: Sometimes a group of statements is part of another statement of function. Such a group
of one or more statements is called block or code-block or suit in python. e.g.
Q.9 What is the role of indentation in Python?
Ans: Indentation plays a very important role in Python. Python uses indentation to
create blocks of code. Statements at same indentation level are part of same
block/suit. You cannot unnecessarily indent a statement; python will raise an
error for that.
Q.10 How many types of strings are

supported by Python? Ans: Python
supports two types of strings:
(i) Single-line string That terminates in single line.
(ii) Multi-line String That stores multiple lines of text.
