34. (b) A slide master is a slide that is used as the starting point for other slides. It is
similar to a page style in Writer: it controls the basic formatting of all slides based on
it. A slide show can have more than one slide master.

color, graphic, or gradient; objects (such as logos, decorative lines and other graphics)
in the background; headers and footers; placement and size of text frames; and the
formatting of text.
A New Master slide can be created either by using the Master View dialog box or by right clicking
slides in the Slides pane.
The renaming of the Master Slide is also done by the same procedure.
Master Slide will be closed by using the Close Master View in the Master View dialog box .

Hard disk
(i) Hard disk is a magnetic disk on which you can store data. The hard disk has the stacked arrangement
of disks accessed by a pair of
heads for each of the disks.
(ii)The hard disks come with a single or double sided disk.
Compact Disk (CD)
(i)ACD or CD-ROM is made from 1.2 millimetres thick, po1ycarbonate plastic material. A thin layer
of aluminium or gold is applied to the surface.
(ii) CD data is represented as tiny indentations known as "pits", encoded in a spiral track moulded into
the top of the po1ycatbonate layer. The areas between pits are known as "lands".
(iii) A motor within the CD player rotates the disk. The capacity of an ordinary CD- ROM is 700MB.
Digital Versatile Disc(DVD)
(i) A DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc) is an optical disc capable of string up to 4.7
GB of data, more than six times what a CD can hold.
(ii) DVDs are often used to store movies at a better quality. Like CDs, DVDs are read with a laser. the
disc can have one or two sides, and one or two layers of data per side; the number of sides and layers
determines how much it can hold.
(iii) A 12 cm diameter disc with single sided, single layer has 4.7 GB capacity, whereas the single,
sided, double layer has 8.5 GB capacity.
(iv) The 8 cm DVD has 1.5 GB capacity. The capacity of a DVD-ROM can be visually
determined by noting the number of data sides of the disc. Double-layered sides are usually gold-
coloured, while single-layered sides are usually silver-coloured, like a CD.

(a)FIFO (b) SJF(c) Round Robin (d)Based On Priority


(a) FIFO (First In First Out)Scheduling :
(i)This algorithm is based on queuing technique. Assume that a student is standing in a queue (Row) to
get grade sheet from his/her teacher.
(ii)The other student who stands first in the queue gets his/her grade sheet first and leaves from the
queue (Row). Followed by the next student in the queue gets it corrected and so on. This is the basic
logic of the FIFO algorithm.
(iii)Technically, the process that enters the queue first is executed first by the CPU, followed by the
next and so on. The processes are executed in the order of the queue (row).
(b) SJF (Shortest Job First)Scheduling:
(i)This algorithm works based on the size of the job being executed by the CPU.
(ii)Consider two jobs A and B.
(iii)1) A = 6 kilo bytes 2) B = 9 kilo bytes
(iv)First the job “A” will be assigned and then job “B” gets its turn.
(c) Round Robin Scheduling:
(i)The Round Robin (RR) scheduling algorithm is designed especially for time sharing systems.
(ii)Jobs (processes) are assigned and processor time in a circular method.
(iii)For example take three jobs A, B, C. First the job A is assigned to CPU then job B and job C and
then again A, B,C and so on.
(d)Based On Priority
The given job (process) is assigned based on a Priority. The job which has
higher priority is more important than other jobs. Take two jobs A and B. Let the
priority of A be 5 and priority B be 7. Job B is assigned to the processor before job A.
38.(b)

Click Edit -> Find & Replace (or) Ctrl + F (ii) The Find & Replace dialog box appears.
Steps to find and replace a text:

(i)Type the text you want to find in the Search for box
(ii)To replace the text with different text, type the new text in the Replace with box
(iii)Click Find button, to start the search , the found word is highlighted and
(iv)To replace text, click Replace button
(v)Click Find All, Writer selects all instances of the search text in the document
(vi) Click Replace All button, Writer replaces all matches.
(vii)Enable Match case to perform the search case sensitively so that uppercase and lower cases are
