COMPUTINGANDINFORMATICS .
Time: 3 hours
Maximum marks: 100
ans FIVEquestions, taking ANYTWO'from Group A,
ANYTWOfrom Group B and ALLfrom ~roup C.
All parts of a ques. (a, b, etc) should be
answered at 1 place.
ans should be brief and to-the-point and be supplementedwith neat sketches. Unnecessary long answers may outcome in loss of marks.
Any missing data or wrong data may be presumed suitably giving proper justification. Figures on the right-hand side margin indicate fun marks.
ans to aUparts of the identical ques. must be grouped toge1her in 1 place. This is applicable to subparts as well
Group A
1. (a) provide a hierarchical view of a computer system.clearly depicting the subsequent layers -
Basic Hardware, Operating System, Translator,
Editor and Application Layer. 5
(b) Distinguish ranging from an info system and a File system. 5
( c) Write a C program that will accept an integer N as input if and only if that integer N lies within 0-9999.Then it will produce the summation of its digits and lastly prints the integer as well as the summation. three + 7
2. (a) What. are the key features of a LAN? 8
(b) Convert 123789 decimal into its equivalent Binary Number. Clearly depict all steps. 7
( c) Write a C++ program to generate a series of pseudo random numbers. 5
3. (a) Specify the key differences ranging from an impactpnhrer and a non-impact printer OR a graphics printer and
a character printer with relevant examples. S
(b) Specify the different processing steps that are needed in exact sequence when any existinghigh level source
program like a C program file stored on Disc is to be executed on a PC. Clearly mention the different system Software modules involved clearly highlighting their roles. 8
(c) Write a C function that willcompute the K in largest and K in smallest element alongwith their positions
in an array ofN signed integers. presume the subsequent 5::::N ::::50 and one ::::K
(b) Specify by schematic as well as shunt precise description
the subsequent network topology: 16
(i) Mesh Topology
(ii) Star topology
(iii) Ring topology
(iv) Bus topology.
Group B
s. (a) Show that only two input NAND gates can be used to implement every of the subsequent logic gates: 3+3+6+2
(i) two input QR gate
(ii) two input ANDgate
(iii) two input Ex-OR gate
(iv) NOT gate.
(b) Specify a C Data type/ structure usingC declarations for implementing the subsequent Record Structure about a student:
Roll No. : 10 digit integer
Name : Maxm 40 characters composed of
Letters (A...Z) and blanks
Cgpa : d.dd (decimal) 6
6. (a) Write C function for implementing the subsequent operation on a singly linked linear list of integers:
(i) Create List (List)-Creates the list and returns its head pointer. 4
(jj) obtain {Listelement)-5earches for the specified element within the specified list, Returns the leftmost node number within the list that has a value equal to the element (if found) or return (O)if not obtained. 8
(b) elaborate the different kinds of resource management modules (if any) that are pre.sent in any operating
system? Specify their functionality in brief. 8
7. (a) Specify an algorithm that can be used to convert a +ve binary integer into its equivalent Hex value.
Clearly depict all steps. What will be the associated data structures? 14
(b) Construct a R-S Flip-Flop usmgNOR gates only. six
8. (a) elaborate the key characteristics of a Network protocol? Why protocols are needed? six + 4
(b) What is Spooling? 5
( c) Consider a CPU having 32 bit Address Bus, 32 bit Data Bus and a .32 bit ALU. If is to be connected to a Memory system consisting of 32 bit
Address bus but eight bit wide data bus. Show the connection schematic. 5
