Answer 2.
(a) Polymorphism is the way of representing one form-multiple behaviour iq a programming language. Function overloading is one example of polymorphism, where more than one function carrying same name behave differently with different set of parameters passed to them.
e.g. Representing function overloading as polymorphism:

void Show()
{
cout<<"Example"<<endl;
}
void Show(int a)
{
cout<<"Value of a "<<a;
}
void main()
{
Show();
Show(5);
}

{
private:
char bcode[4];
char bname[20];
int innings, notout, runs;
float batavg;
void calcavg();
public:
void readdata();
void displaydata();
};
void Batsman::calcavg()
{
batavg = runs/(innings-notout);
}
void Batsman::readdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the four digit code";
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) cin>>bcode[i];
cout<<"Enter name":
gets(bname);
cout<<"Enter innings": cin>>innings ;
cout<<"Enter notout": cin>>notout;
cout<<"Enter runs"; cin>>runs; calcavg():
}
void Batsman::displaydata()
{
cout<<"\nBatsman code:";
fort(int i=0; i<4; i++) .
cout<<bcode[i];
cout<<”\nBatsman Name:”;
puts(bname);
cout<C'\nInnings : "<<innings;
cout<<"\nNotouts:"<<notout;
cout<<"\nRuns:"<<runs;
cout<<"\nThe Average:"<<batavg;
}

Answer 7.
(a) The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality, and usability over the Internet.
(b) A firewall is a part of a computer system or network that is designed to block unauthorized access while permitting authorized communications. It is a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria.
(c) Difference between trojan horses and worms is as follows:

Trojan Horses Worms
It is a code hidden in a program that looks safe to run but in background performs malicious actions. Thus, it requires the intervention of users. It is a self-replicating computer program that works and propagates itself without the use of another program or action or intervention by the user.

(d) Bridge
(e) (i) Cable Layout
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Computer Science Paper 3 13
(ii) Since the maximum number of computers are in the Student Wing. So, a suitable place to house the server is Student Wing.
(iii) Since the difference between Lib Wing and Admin Wing is small, so the type of networking is small, i.e. LAN.
(iv) Broadband connection as it is quite economical and speedy.
(f) Open Source based Software
(i) Adobe Flash Player
(iii) Skype
Proprietary Software
(ii) Apache
(iv) MySQL
(g) The e-mail refers to sending and receiving messages electronically in which the sender and the recipient need not be online at the same time. Attachments of other documents are possible in E-mail. Whereas in chatting, to send and receive messages, both recipient and sender must be online and available over the Internet simultaneously.
