12. Write any 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage of Bus topology. (1)
Ans. Advantage: Since there is a single common data path connecting all the nodes, the bus topology uses a
very short cable length which considerably reduces the installation cost.
Disadvantage: Fault detection and isolation is difficult. This is because control of the network is not
centralized in any particular node. If a node is faulty on the bus, detection of fault may have to be
performed at many points on the network. The faulty node has then to be rectified at that connection
point.

Freeware is a computer software that is available for use without any cost or for an optional fee. The
author usually restricts one or more rights—to copy, distribute and make derivative works of the
software.
Shareware is a software that provides a trial version for a particular duration. Once the trial period is over,
the program may stop running until a licence is purchased. Shareware is often offered without support,
updates or help menus which only become available after the purchase of a licence.

Ans. (i) and (iv) are the possible outputs. Minimum value that can be assigned is – Y = 0. Maximum value that
can be assigned is – Y = 3.
30. What do you understand by local and global scope of variables? How can you access a global variable
inside the function if function has a variable with the same name? (2)
Ans. A global variable is a variable that is accessible globally. A local variable is one that is only accessible to
the current scope, such as temporary variables used in a single function definition.
A variable declared outside of the function or in global scope is known as global variable. This means
global variable can be accessed inside or outside of the function whereas local variable can be used only
inside of the function. We can access a global variable by declaring it as global A.
31. What are the aggregate functions in SQL? (2)
Ans. Aggregate functions are those functions that return single value from a group of values of a column. These
functions are also called multiple row functions or group functions. There are several group functions
such as:
SUM(), AVG(), MAX(), MIN(), COUNT().
32. What do you understand by Transmission Medium? Give its types with examples. (2)
Ans. The medium over which the data or signal can travel from one computer to another for communication
is called a Transmission Media or Channel. Its types: Guided Media and Unguided Media.
(i) Guided Media use wires for transmitting data from one device to another. They are also known as wired
media. They use various types of cables, e.g., Twisted Pair Cable, Coaxial Cable.
(ii) Unguided Media are the wireless media that transport electromagnetic waves without using a physical
conductor. Signals are broadcast through air. This is done through radio waves, microwaves, satellite
communication and cellular telephony.
