12. Q12. 24 GB = MB and KB:

24 GB = 24,576 MB = 25,165,824 KB
13. Q13. Why is Python termed as ‘Free and Open Source’ Software?

Python is called Free and Open Source because it can be freely distributed, modified, and
used by anyone. Its source code is accessible to the public.

14. Q14. Python Programming language got its name from which show?

Python was named after the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus."

15. Q15. Specific purpose software usefulness with an example:

Specific purpose software is designed to perform a specific task. For example, accounting
software like Tally is used for managing financial records and calculations in businesses.

16. Q16. What is computer hardware? Two examples:

Computer hardware refers to the physical components of a computer. Examples:

CPU

Monitor

17. Q17. Function of the CPU in a computer and its subunits:


The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is responsible for executing instructions from programs.
Its subunits include the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), Control Unit (CU), and registers.

18. Q18. Utility Software and its types:

Utility software helps in managing, maintaining, and controlling computer resources.


Examples include antivirus software, disk cleanup tools, and backup software.

19. Q19. Basic architecture of a computer:

The basic architecture of a computer includes components such as the CPU, memory
(RAM), input/output devices, and storage. Data flows between these components to
perform computing tasks.

20. Q20. Function of memory and its measuring units:

Memory stores data temporarily or permanently. Its measuring units are bytes (B), kilobytes
(KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), etc.

21. Q21. Work of system software and function of its types:

System software manages hardware and provides a platform for running applications. Its
types include operating systems, device drivers, and utility software.

22. Q22. Meaning of volatile primary memory:

Volatile primary memory refers to memory that requires power to maintain the stored
information. RAM is an example of volatile memory.
23. Q23. Flash memory:

Flash memory is non-volatile memory that can be electronically erased and


reprogrammed, commonly used in USB drives and SSDs.

24. Q24. Cache memory and its usefulness:

Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory located close to the CPU. It stores
frequently accessed data, speeding up access to that data and improving overall system
performance.

25. Q25. Full form of IDLE and Python program run shortcut key:

IDLE stands for Integrated Development and Learning Environment. The shortcut key to run
a Python program in IDLE is F5.

26. Q26. Meaning of cross-platform language:

A cross-platform language can run on multiple operating systems without needing


modification. Python is an example.

27. Q27. Differences between:

a) RAM and ROM:

RAM is volatile memory used for temporary data storage, while ROM is non-volatile and
stores permanent data.
b) Interpreter and compiler:

An interpreter executes code line by line, while a compiler translates the entire code into
machine language before execution.

c) CPU and ALU:

The CPU executes instructions, while the ALU performs arithmetic and logical operations.

28. Q28. Block diagram of mobile system & role of communication and application
processing units:

The mobile system consists of input/output devices, processors, and memory. The
communication processing unit handles data transmission and reception, while the
application processing unit runs user applications.

29. Q29. Role of operating system in computer system and its types:

The operating system manages hardware and software resources, and provides services to
applications. Types include:

Single-user OS (e.g., Windows)

Multi-user OS (e.g., Linux)

Real-time OS (e.g., RTLinux)
