✅ C. Very Short Answer (1 mark each)
1. A computer system is an electronic machine that processes input data to produce useful output with the help of hardware and
software.
2. Monitor, Printer
3. Secondary memory is a non-volatile storage used to store data permanently. Example: Hard Disk.
4. System software is software that controls and manages hardware and other software.
5. Indentation is used in Python to define blocks of code clearly and indicate a group of statements.
6. if, for
7. A constant is a fixed value that does not change during program execution.
8. An expression is a combination of variables, constants, and operators that produces a result.
9. Debugging means finding and fixing errors in a program.
10. #
✅ D. Short Answer (2 marks each)
1. Explain any two input devices.
Keyboard: Used to enter text, numbers, and commands into the computer.
Mouse: A pointing device used to select and open items on the screen.
2. Differentiate between RAM and ROM.
RAM: Temporary, volatile memory; data is lost when the computer is turned off.
ROM: Permanent, non-volatile memory; stores essential instructions required for booting.
3. Difference between primary memory and secondary memory.
Primary Memory: Directly accessible by the CPU; fast and temporary (e.g., RAM).
Secondary Memory: Used for permanent storage of data; slower but larger (e.g., Hard Disk).
4. What is application software? Give examples.
Application software helps users perform specific tasks.
Examples: MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
5. Purpose of indentation in Python.
Indentation indicates a block of code. Python uses indentation instead of braces to define scope.
6. Difference between interactive mode and script mode in Python.
Interactive Mode: Commands are run one by one immediately in the Python shell.
Script Mode: Whole program is written in a file and executed together.
7. What is a keyword? Give two examples.
Keywords are reserved words with special meaning in Python.
Examples: if, while.
8. Explain constants and variables with examples.
Constant: Value does not change. Example: PI = 3.14
Variable: Stores data that can change. Example: age = 20
9. What are mutable and immutable data types? Give examples.
Mutable: Can be changed after creation. Example: List.
Immutable: Cannot be changed after creation. Example: Tuple, String.
10. What is debugging in Python?
Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors (bugs) in a program to make it run correctly.
✅ E. Long Answer (5 marks each)
1. Draw a neat diagram to show the basic structure and interconnection of computer system components. Explain each part.
Diagram: (You can draw and label this neatly in your notebook)

Explanation:
Input Devices: Used to enter data (e.g., keyboard, mouse).
CPU: Brain of the computer; includes Control Unit (CU) and Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). CU controls operations; ALU performs
calculations.
Memory Unit: Stores data and instructions (RAM and ROM).
Output Devices: Display results (e.g., monitor, printer).
2. Explain any five input and output devices with examples.
Input Devices:
o Keyboard: For typing text.
o Mouse: For pointing and clicking.
o Scanner: Converts paper documents into digital form.
o Microphone: Captures sound input.
o Webcam: Captures video input.
Output Devices:
o Monitor: Displays visual output.
o Printer: Produces hard copies of documents.
o Speaker: Outputs sound.
o Projector: Displays output on large screens.
o Plotter: Prints large graphs and engineering drawings.
3. Explain different types of operators in Python with suitable examples.
Arithmetic Operators: +, -, *, /
o Example: a + b adds two numbers.
Relational Operators: ==, !=, >, <
o Example: a > b checks if a is greater than b.
Logical Operators: and, or, not
o Example: (a > b) and (b > c)
Assignment Operators: =, +=, -=
o Example: x += 5 adds 5 to x.
Membership Operators: in, not in
o Example: 'a' in 'apple' returns True.
4. Write a Python program of Hello World with output.
# This is a simple Python program
print("Hello, World!")
Output:
CopyEdit
Hello, World!
