Answer the following

1. List out functions of Operating System?

 Booting the computer
 Loading the program in memory.
 Managing resources
 Detecting and correcting errors
 Ensuring data security
 Maintaining the internal clock
2. Explain two types of Operating System?
 Single-user Operating System: It has a single CPU and set of input and
output devices. It supports one user and only one particular job at any
point of time. Example- MS-DOS
 Multi-user Operating System: It allows more than one user to interact
with computer at a time and each user work on different programs.
Example- UNIX.
 3. How to create a Chart in MS Excel?

Step 1: Select the contents of the worksheet.

Step 2: Click the ‘Insert’ button from the Ribbon area.

Step 3: Select and click the type of chart (say Column) from the chart area.

Step 4: It will show different types of column charts.

Step 5: Select the specific option from the 2-D column chart.

Step 6: The chart based on the selected range of data will be displayed on the
screen.

4. Write down the steps to edit the Chart Type?

Step 1: Right-click on the chart.

Step 2: Select ‘Change Chart Type’ from the drop-down list.

Step 3: It will display a window on the screen.

Step 4: Select an appropriate type of chart which you want to replace with the
previous one (say bar type).

Step 5: Finally, click ‘OK’.

5. What is Flowchart? What are the features of a flowchart?

Ans: A flowchart is a pictorial representation of an algorithm and uses boxes of

different shapes.
Features of Flowchart are:

 It is an easy method to communicate.

 It is the key to correct programming.
 It clearly indicates the task.
 It helps to plan and design a new system.

6. Define Terminal Box and Decision Box? Draw their symbols.

Ans: Terminal Box- It is used at the beginning and at the end of the flowchart.

Decision Box- It is used to make a choice between two options in terms of Yes or
No.

Terminal Box:

Decision Box:

Explain the functions

i. SUM (): This function calculates the total of all the values of the specified
cells and returns the result to the specific cell pointer.
Syntax: SUM (number1, number2, ……….)
Example: SUM (43, 61, 70) is 174.
ii. AVERAGE (): It takes all the values of the specified cells and returns the
average of cell values in the active cell.
Syntax: AVERAGE (number1, number2, ………..)
Example: AVERAGE (45, 50, 74, 71) is 60
iii. MAX (): This function returns the highest value from among the specified
cells in the active cell.
Syntax: MAX (number1, number2, ……………)
 Example: MAX (83, 61, 79) is 83
iv. MIN (): This function returns the lowest value from among the specified
cells in the active cell.
Syntax: MIN (number1, number2, ………..)
Example: MIN (53, 21, 79) is 21
v. COUNT (): The count function helps you to count the number of cells
within a range of cells which have values.
Syntax: COUNT (number1, number2, ………..)
Example: COUNT (53, 21, 79, 54) is 4

Write the Algorithm

1. To go for a class picnic

 Step 1: Start
 Step 2: Make all plans for picnic
 Step 3: Decide a good place/spot for picnic
 Step 4: Arrange a vehicle to reach the destination
 Step 4: Get in vehicle and go at spot
 Step 5: Do the activities planned for picnic
 Step 6: After completing your event, get in the vehicle
 Step 7: Get back to home/school
 Step 8: Stop
2. To make tea/coffee

 Step 1: Start
 Step 2: Take teabag and put it in a cup.
 Step 3: After that take a kettle and fill it with water.
 Step 4: Now you need to boil the water.
 Step 5: Pour the boiled water in the cup and add some milk in the cup.
 Step 6: Add some sugar to the cup.
 Step 7: Finally, make sure your stir the cup and now you can drink the
tea/coffee.
 Step 8: Stop
Write the Algorithm and Flowchart
 1. Accept the length of two different line segments and check whether they are
equal or unequal. Display the message accordingly
Algorithm:

Step 1: Start

Step 2: Read length of line segment 1.

Step 3: Read length of line segment 2.

Step 4: Check whether line segment 1 is equal to line segment 2.

Step 5: If line segments are equal, then display “Line segments are equal”.
Otherwise display “Line segments are not equal”.

Step 6: Display output

Step 7: Stop

Flowchart:
 2. Accept the age of a person and check whether he/she is eligible to vote or
not. A person is eligible to vote only when he/she is 18 years or more.

Algorithm:

 Step 1: Start
 Step 2: Input age
 Step 3: Check age value,
o if age >= 18 then go to step 4 else step 5
 Step 4:         print "Eligible to vote" and go to step 6
 Step 5:   else
 print "Not Eligible to vote"
 Step 6:  Stop
Flowchart:

3. Accept three numbers and check whether they are ‘Pythagorean Triplets’ or
not. Display the message accordingly
Algorithm:

 Step 1: Start
 Step 2: Get three numbers a , b , c
 Step 3: if ( (a*a + b*b) == c*c ) then
 Step 4: Display "These numbers are Pythagorean triplets. "
 Step 5: else
 Step 6: Display "Numbers are not Pythagorean triplets. "
 Step 7: end if
 Step 8: Stop
