(ii) Identify degree and cardinality of the table.
Or
(i) Identify the candidate key(s) from the table ITEM.

Section – B
(Each question carries 3 Marks)

Question 8.
A linear stack called result contains the following information
(i) Code of Item
(ii)Name of Item
(iii) Price of particular item
Write the method PUSH () to push an object containing Code, Name and Price of Item into the stack.
Or Write the steps to create the stack of glasses.
Answer:

def PUSH (result. Top):
Code = int ( input ("Enter the code of item:”))
Name = input (“Enter the name of item:”)
Price = int(input("Enter the price of item:"))
St = (Code, Name, Price) 
result.append(St)
Top = Top + 1 
return Top

Or

The stack is a linear and ordered collection of elements. The simple way to implement a stack in Python is using the data type list. We can fix either of the sides of the list as TOP to insert/remove elements. We can use built-in methods append () for push() and pop() of the list for implementation of the stack.

As these built-in methods insert/delete elements at the rightmost end of the list, hence explicit declaration of TOP is not needed. Following steps can be used to make stack of glasses
Step 1 Insert/delete elements (glasses).
Step 2 Check if the STACK is empty (no glasses in the stack).
Step 3 Find the number of elements (glasses) in the STACK.
Step 4 Read the value of the topmost element (number on the topmost glass) in the STACK.

Question 9.
(i) Write the syntax to perform inner join in two tables.
Answer:

SELECT coll, col 2
FROM tablet INNER JOIN table2 
ON tablel.column_name = 
table2.column_name;

(ii) Categorize the following commands into DCL and DDL commands
REVOKE, ALTER, DROP, GRANT, RENAME
Answer:
DCL commands REVOKE, GRANT
DDL commands ALTER, DROP,
RENAME

Question 10.

Section – C

Question 12.
(i) What is the use of following devices?
(a) Modem
(b) Hub
Or
Explain star topology and bus topology.
(ii) List the components of data communication and explain any two of them in brief.
Answer:
(i) (a) Modem Modem stands for’MOdulator DEModulator’. It refers to a device used for conversion between analog signals and digital signals. We know computers store and process data in terms of Os and Is. However, to transmit data from a sender to a receiver, or while browsing the Internet, digital data are converted to an analog signal and the medium (be it free-space or a physical media) carries the signal to the receiver. There are modems connected to both the source and destination nodes. The modem at the sender’s end acts as a modulator that converts the digital data into analog signals. The modem at the receiver’s end acts as a demodulator that converts the analog signals into digital data for the destination node to understand.

(b) Hub An ethemet hub is a network device used to connect different devices through wires. Data arriving on any of the lines are sent out on all the others. The limitation of hub is that if data from two devices come at the same time, they will collide.

Or

Star Topology In star topology, each communicating device is connected to a central node, which is a networking device like a hub or a switch.

Star topology is considered very effective, efficient and fast as each device is directly connected with the central device. Although, disturbance in one device will not affect the rest of the network, any failure in a central networking device may lead to the failure of complete network.

Bus Topology In bus topology, each communicating device connects to a transmission medium, known as bus. Data sent from a node are passed on to the bus and hence are transmitted to the length of the bus in both directions.

That means, data can be received by any of the nodes connected to the bus. In this topology, a single backbone wire called bus is shared among the nodes, which makes it cheaper and easier to maintain. Both ring and bus topologies are considered to be less secure and less reliable.

(ii) There are five components required for data communication

1. Sender
2. Receiver
3. Message
4. Communication channel
5. Protocols

Sender A sender is a computer or any such device which is capable of sending data over a network. It can be any computer, mobile phone, smart watch, walkie-talkie, video recording device, etc.

Receiver A receiver is a computer or any such device which is capable of receiving data from the network. It can be any computer, printer, laptop, mobile phone, television, etc. In computer communication, the sender and receiver are known as nodes in a network.

Question 13.
Workalot consultants are setting up a secured network for their office campus of Gurgaon for their day-to-day office and web based activities. They are planning to have connectivity between 3 buildings and the head office situated in Mumbai.

Answer the questions (i) to (iv) after going through the building positions in the campus and other details, which are given below

(i) Suggest the most suitable place (i.e. building) to house the server of this organisation. Also, give a reason to justify your suggested location.
Answer:
Building RED is the suitable place to house the server because it has maximum number of computers.

(ii) Suggest a cable layout of connections between the buildings inside the campus.
Answer:

(iii) Suggest the placement of the following devices with justification
(a) Switch
(b) Repeater
Answer:
(a) Switches are needed in every building as they help share bandwidth in every building.
(b) Repeaters may be skipped as per above layout (because distance is less than 100 m), however if building GREEN and building RED are directly connected, we can place a repeater there as the distance between these two buildings is more than 100 m.

(iv) The organisation is planning to provide a high speed link with its head office situated in the Mumbai using a wired connection. Which of the following cables will be most suitable for this job?
(a) Optical fibre
(b) Co-axial cable
(c) Ethernet cable
Answer:
(b) Co-axial cable
