a) Use harsh chemicals.

b) Power it off and unplug it.

c) Clean while it's running.

d) Don't worry about safety precautions.

Answer

b) Power it off and unplug it.

2. Distinguish clearly between half-duplex and full-duplex in the context of

data transmission. (6 marks)
Answer

Half-Duplex: the channel of communications allows alternating transmission

in two directions, but not in both directions simultaneously
both
direction but not the same times

Example:
 Talkie- Walkie
 intercom,
 string phone
Full-Duplex: the communication between sender and receiver can occur
simultaneously. or data flows in both directions at the same time.
both
direction at the same times

Example:

 telephone conversation

3. Discuss any 3 Database models. (6 marks)

Answer
The hierarchical model organizes its data using a tree structure. The root
of the tree is the parent followed by child nodes. The hierarchical model

8
 was widely used in the early days of computing, but it has since been
replaced by more flexible models such as the relational model.

In the network model, entities are organized in a graph, in which some

entities can be accessed through several paths. The network model is an
extension of the hierarchical model, where each child node can have
multiple parent nodes.

In the Relational Model, data is organized in two-dimensional tables

called relations.

The tables or relation are related to each other. The relational model is
the most widely used database model.
4. Define many to one relationship and give an example. (5 marks)
Answer
In a many-to-one relationship, multiple entities or records from one
entity can be associated with a single entity or record from another
entity.

For example, in a customer and orders scenario, a customer can place

multiple orders, but each order is associated with only one customer.
Therefore, the relationship between a customer and orders is a many-to-
one relationship

5. Explain how functional dependency differ from transitive dependency in

database normalization (5 marks)
Answer
Functional Dependency:

Definition: Functional dependency describes a relationship between two

attributes (or sets of attributes) in a relation such that one attribute's value
determines another attribute's value.

Implication: Functional dependency is a fundamental concept used in

normalization to identify and eliminate redundancy in a relation.

Transitive Dependency:

Definition: Transitive dependency occurs when a non-key attribute in a relation

is functionally dependent on another non-key attribute rather than on a
candidate key.

9
Implication: Transitive dependency violates the second normal form (2NF) in
database normalization.

6. Differentiate between a class and an object in C++ with examples. (5 marks)

Answer
A class is a template for creating objects, whereas an object is an instance of
a class. For example, "Car" is a class, and "BMW" or "Toyota" are objects of
the "Car" class.
7. List any 5 basic Object Oriented Programming concepts. (5 marks)
Answer
Classes.

Objects

Encapsulation

Abstraction

Inheritance

Polymorphism

Interfaces

8. Define the term debugging (4 marks)

Answer
Debugging is the process of identifying, isolating, and fixing errors or bugs in
computer software or hardware. The goal of debugging is to ensure that the
program runs as intended and produces the expected output without errors or
unexpected behavior.

9. What function is used to find the length of a string in Visual Basic?

(3 marks)

a) Len()
b) Length()
c) StrLength()
d) StringLength()
answer
a) Len()

10
10. Define method overloading and give an example. (5 marks)
Answer
Method overloading is a feature in object-oriented programming where a class
can have multiple methods with the same name but with different parameters
or arguments. In method overloading, the methods must have the same name
but can differ in the number, order, or type of parameters.

Here is an example of method overloading in Java:

public class Calculator {

public int add(int num1, int num2) {

return num1 + num2; }

public double add(double num1, double num2) {

return num1 + num2; }

public int add(int num1, int num2, int num3) {

return num1 + num2 + num3; } }

11. When running a Java program with multiple classes, how does the Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) identify the main class? (4 marks)

A) By searching for the class with the highest number of methods

B) By searching for the class with the shortest name
C) By using the class specified with the -cp option
D) By using the class specified with the public static void main(String[] args)

method

Answer

D) By using the class specified with the public static void main(String[] args)
method

12. What is the purpose of the "new" keyword in Java? (4 marks)

A) It creates a new class definition.
B) It allocates memory for a new object.
C) It initializes instance variables within a class.

11
 D) It defines a new method in a class.
Answer
B) It allocates memory for a new object.

Section B: Attempt any (3) three questions from this Section (30marks)

cout << "Enter the number of terms of Fibonacci series you want" <<
endl;
cin >> n;
cout << "First " << n << " terms of Fibonacci series are :" << endl;

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ ) {

if ( c <= 1 )
next = c;
else
{
next = first + second;
first = second;
second = next;
}
cout << next << endl;
}
return 0;

14. Analyse the program given below and give its output appropriately.
(10 marks)

int arr[5] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};

12
 int *ptr = &arr[4];
std::cout << "Elements of the array accessed using pointer:\n";

for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {

std::cout << "Element " << sizeof(arr)/sizeof(int)-i << ": " << *(ptr-i) << std::endl;

}
std::cout << "\nModified elements of the array using pointer:\n";

for (int i = 4; i >=0; i--) {

*(ptr-i) += 5;
std::cout << "Element " << 5-i << ": " << arr[4-i] << std::endl;
