Question No 1: Solution

Suppose data is being transferred between two cell phones via blue tooth. You are
required to answer the following questions with proper reasoning:

1. What will be the line configuration between them? (Point to point or Multipoint).
2. What will be the relationship between the cell phones? (Peer to Peer or Primary
Secondary)
3. Which type of communication will it be? (Local or Remote communication)
4. What will be the medium of communication? (Wireless or Wired)

Reasons

1: Mobile blue tooth is point to point line configure , data is transferred between
two mobiles only. Blue tooth is possible only between two mobiles, .
2: peer to peer network is that in which data is transferred from one node to
another node, there is no need to client server.
3: in local blue tooth connection there is minimum or low space required between
two mobiles, it is like LAN connection because it is possible in same building, if
we cross the minimum area then connection will be disconnect.
4: in this type of communication the date is transferred through wireless no wire
Is used.


Question No 2: Solution
Suppose computer A is connected to another computer B by a passive hub at home.
You are required to mention the type (LAN, MAN or WAN) of this computer
network? Support your answer with reason.

Here the LAN network is built because LAN is local area network between multiple
devices, devices/nodes connected in the same building or other buildings but their
distance is very short. Then we can use Lan, so in house we connect the computers as
LAN.

a. Walkie talkie (half duplex)
b. Telephone conversation (full duplex)
