SECTION – B (Marks 27)

Q.2 Attempt any NINE parts from the following. All parts carry equal marks. (9  3 = 27)
i. What is an algorithm and what is the role of algorithm in problem solving?
Answer:
Algorithm means method, procedure, technique or plan. Algorithm is a step-by-
step problem-solving method that is easy to understand and follow. It is a set of
steps that clearly defines a sequence of operations to solve a problem.
ROLE OF ALGORITHM IN PROBLEM SOLVING
Algorithm plays an important role in computer programming. Computer
programming is the process of taking an algorithm and coding it in a programming
language. Formulating an algorithm is the first step for developing a computer
program.
ii. Point out valid and invalid variable names.
Answer:
a. define Invalid b. 5name Invalid
c. a5 Valid d. US$ Invalid
e. a_b Valid f. f name Invalid
iii. Write two advantages and one disadvantage of compiler.
Answer:
Advantage:
A compiler is a computer software that translates entireC language program (source
program) into machine code (object program) that can be understood and executed
by the computer
It also detects syntax errors in the source program and gives hints to the
programmer to correct them.
Disadvantage:
It occupies extra memory since it needs to generate a new file.
iv. Evaluate each of the following expression assuming, a is 2, z is 1.3, c is 1 and d is 3:
a. b = d/a + d % a
b = 3/2 + 3 % 2
b=1+3%2
b=1+1
b=2

b. x = (a + c)/(z + 0.3)
x = (2 + 1)/( 1.3+ 0.3)
x = (3)/(1.3+ 0.3)
x = 3/1.6
x =1.875

c. y=c/d*a
y=1/3*2
y=0*2
y=0

v. Write down the name and purpose of any three format specifiers.
Answer:
NAMES OF FORMAT SPECIFIERS:
%d decimal integer
%f floating-point (decimal notation)
%c single character
Integer Format Specifiers (%d)
The format specifier %d is used to read or print a decimal integer.
Floating-point Format Specifiers (%f)
The format specifier %f is used to read and print floating-point numbers in decimal
notation with a precision of 6 digits after the decimal point.
The Character Format Specifier (%c)
The character format specifier, %c, is used to read or print a single character.
vi. Define the following.
Answer:
i. Control Statement
Control Statements in C are used to execute/transfer the control from one part
of the program to another depending on a condition. These statements are also
called as conditional statements.
ii. Conditional Statement
Conditional Statements in C programming are used to make decisions based on the
conditions. Conditional statements execute sequentially when there is no condition
 around the statements. It is also called as branching as a program decides which
statement to execute based on the result of the evaluated condition.
vii. What is the conditional operator? Give an example.
Answer:
The conditional operator is also known as a ternary operator. The conditional
statements are the decision-making statements which depend upon the output of the
expression. It is represented by two symbols, i.e. '?' and ‘:’. Conditional operators
return one value if condition is true and returns another value is condition is false.
Syntax: (Condition? expression1: expression2);
Example: J= (A > 100)? C*D: C+D;
In above example, if A is greater than 100, then product of C and D will be assigned
to J otherwise sum of Cand D will be assigned. This is equal to if else conditional
statements.
viii. Write a program using while loop to print odd numbers from 1 to 20.
Answer:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int n;
n=1;
while(n<=20)
{
printf("%d\n",n);
n=n+2;
}
getch();
return 0;
}
ix. What will be the output of the following code?
void main( ) { int u, i;
for (u = 1; u< = 5; u++)
{ for (i = 1; i< = u; i++)
{printf(“%d \t”, i);}
printf(“\n”);
} }
OUTPUT:

1 0 0 0 0 1 1
1 0 1 0 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0 0
xi. Convert the following code into for loop:
int sum = 0, num= 0;
do {
sum = sum + num;
printf (“Enter an integer value”);
scanf(“%d”, &num); }
while (num> = 0 &&num< = 15);
Answer:
int sum = 0, num= 0;
for(int num=0;num>=0 &&num<=15;)
{
sum=sum+num;
printf(“Enter an integer value”);
scanf(“%d”, &num);
}
xii. Write down benefits of web portal. Give one example.
Answer:
Web portal is a website that offers a large variety of services these include online
shopping malls, news stock prices, email search engines, etc. Web portals function
as a point of access to information on the web.
For example, A school web portal delivers information about the school’s historical
background, admission requirement, School curriculum, tuition fees structure,
School news, student results in a unified way.
 xiii. Use appropriate text formatting tags to define the following. Write example of each.
Answer:
a. font size
In HTML, <fontsize=?></font> these tags are used to change the font size.
Replace ? symbol with the number in the range 1 to 7. One is the smallest and
seven is the largest font size.
For Example <fontsize=3>Information Technology</font>

 SECTION – C (Marks 16)
Note: Attempt any TWO questions. (8  2 = 16)
i. Draw a flowchart to calculate the exponent of a given number. (4)
Answer:

ii. Explain any four modules of C programming environment. (4)

Answer:
Four modules of C programming environment
• Text Editor • Compiler • Linker • Loader
Text Editor
A text editor is a simple word-processor that is used to create and edit source code of a
program .Files created by a text editor are plain text files. Most of the editors automatically
highlight compile errors to simplify removing them.
Compiler
A compiler is a computer software that translates C language program (source program)
into machine code (object program) that can be understood and executed by the computer
It also detects syntax errors in the source program and gives hints to the programmer to
correct them. A compiler will only create object program if all the syntax errors in a
program have been corrected if they existed. A program written in C language has the
extension .c (for example first.c) and after compilation the object program extension will
be .obj (for example first.obj)
 Linker
Linker is a software that translates object program into a single executable program. a
linker is a computer program that takes one or more object files generated by a compiler
and combines them into one, executable program.
Loader
It is a software that loads programs into memory and then executes them.

Q.4 Simplify the Boolean Function F, using Karnaugh Mapping (K-map).

Also construct logic circuit for the simplified expression. (4+4)
Answer:
F = xyz + xy z + x yz + x y z + xyz + x yz

ȳ ȳ y Y
0 1 1 0
+ x yz + x y z + xyz + x yz
x 1 1 1 1

= xyz + xy z + x yzF+=x xyz

y z ++xxy
yzZz++xxyyzzz + x y z + xyz + x yz

F=x+z

Logic Circuit:

Q.5 i. Rewrite the following code after removing the errors: (4)
# include <std.h>
# include <conio.h>
void main ( );
{
int p, s;
printf(“\n Enter a number:);
scanf(“%d”, p);
s=p%2;
if(s=0)
printf(“even number%d”, p)
els
printf(“odd number%d”, p);
getch( );
 Solution:
# include <stdio.h>
# include <conio.h>
void main ( )
{
int p, s;
printf(“\n Enter a number:);
scanf(“%d”, &p);
s=p%2;
if(s==0)
printf(“even number%d”, p);
else
printf(“odd number%d”, p);
getch( );
}
ii. Convert the following program using switch statement: (4)
void main( )
{ char ch; clrscr( );
printf(“Enter a single character”);
scanf(“%c”, &ch);
if ( ch = = ‘a’ || ch = = ‘A’ ||
ch = = ‘e’ || ch = = ‘E’ ||
ch = = ‘i’ || ch = = ‘I’ ||
ch = = ‘o’ || ch = = ‘O’ ||
ch = = ‘u’ || ch = = ‘U’)
printf(“It is a vowel”);
else printf(“It is a consonant”); }
Solution:
void main( )
{ char ch;
clrscr( );
printf(“Enter a single character”);
scanf(“%c”, &ch);
switch(ch)
{

case ‘a’:
case ‘e’:
case ‘i’:
case ‘o’:
case ‘u’:
case ‘A’:
case ‘E’:
case ‘I’:

(Curriculum 2009)

Time allowed: 2.45 hours Total Marks: 43

Note: Answer any nine parts from Section ‘B’ and attempt any two questions from Section ‘C’
on the separately provided answer book. Write your answers neatly and legibly.

SECTION – B (Marks 27)

Q.2 Attempt any NINE parts from the following. All parts carry equal marks. (9  3 = 27)
i. What are the features to select the best solution of a problem?(1+1+1)
Ans. The selection of final solution of a problem should be based on the following
criteria.
Speed: The selected solution of the problem should be efficient. In other words, it
means when the solution is implemented in a programming language, the program
should run fast.
Cost: The selected solution of the problem should provide a cost-effective way of
implementation.
Complexity: The selected solution of the problem should not be complicated. It
should contain minimum number of instructions/simple steps.

ii. Write an algorithm to find the sum, product and average of five given numbers?
(1+1+1)
Ans. Algorithm:
Start:
Input: five numbers
Step 1 : input a,b,c,d,e
Step 2: sum=0,average=0 , product=1
Step 3: sum = a+b+c+d+e
Step 4: average = sum /5
Step 5: product= a*b*c*d*e

Output: the sum, product and average

Step 6: print sum.

Step 7: print product.
Step 8: print average.
Stop:

iii. Briefly describe the three fundamental element of structured programming in C

language? (1+1+1)
Ans. Structured languages consist of three fundamental elements, which are sequence,
selection and repetition.
Sequence: It means, writing program statements in a logical sequence. Each step
in the sequence must logically progress to the next without producing any
undesirable effects.
Selection: It allows the selection of any number of statements based on the result
of evaluation of a condition which may be true or false. Examples of statements
that implement selection in programming are if, else-if, switch, etc.
 Repetition (loop): It means executing one or more statements a number of times
until a condition is satisfied. Repetition is implemented in programs using
statements, such as for and while loops.

iv. What happens if header-files were not used in C program? List at-least two
header-files with their purpose (1+2)
Ans. If we are not including header file than we will not be able to use functions like
printf() or scanf(). These functions are premade in stdio.h
stdio.h Mainly used to perform input and output operations like
printf(),scanf()
string.h Mainly used to perform string handling operations like strlen(),
strcmp() etc.
conio.h With this header file, you can execute console input and output
operations.
math.h Mainly used to perform mathematical operations like sqrt(),pow()
etc.

v. Compare printf() and puts() function with at-least one example. (3)
Ans.
printf() puts()

It is used to display all types of data It is used to display only string data
and messages. and messages.

It requires a format specifier to It does not require a format specifier

display formatted data. to display string.

It can display multiple data at a time It is used to display only one string at
by multiple format specifiers in one a time.
printf( ).

Syntax: Syntax:
printf(“list of format specifier or puts(variable);
message”, list of variables);

Example: Example:
intx,y; char ch[]="Hello";
printf ("%d%d",x,y); puts(ch);

vi. Write at-least three differences between format specifiers and escape sequence
characters. (3)
Ans.

Escape sequences Format specifier

In C language Escape sequences are In C language format specifiers are

mostly used in printf() function to take used in printf() and scanf() functions
the control to specified point. to specify the type of variable the
 Escape sequences Format specifier

function is dealing with.

Escape sequences are not mandatory Format specifier are mandatory part of
part of printf() function. scanf() function and in printf()
mandatory if variable or expression is
used.
Common Escape sequences are: Common format specifiers are:
\n New line %c Prints a single character
\t Horizontal tab space Read a character
\r Carriage return %d Prints a decimal integer
\b Backspace Read a signed decimal integer
\f Form feed %f Prints a floating point
\a Beep sound Read floating point number
\’ Single quote %s Prints a String
\” Double quote Read a string (till null
\\ Backslash character)

Syntax: Syntax:
printf(“list of format specifier or printf(“list of format specifier or
message or escape sequence”, list of message”, list of variables);
variables);

Example: Example:
For example \n takes the control to %c Prints a single character
new line, and \t prints a tab space. Read a character
%d Prints a decimal integer
Read a signed decimal integer

vii. Draw precedence table of operators used in the following expression: (3)
z = !(4*++x-y || x==y/--y<x%2&&x+++y)
Ans.
No. Operator Description
1 ++ -- increment/ decrement
2 * / % Multiplication/division/modulus
3 + - Addition/subtraction
4 Relational less than/less than or equal to
< <=
Relational greater than/greater than or
> >=
equal to
5 == != Relational is equal to/is not equal to
6 && Logical AND
7 || Logical OR
8 = Assignment
viii. Differentiate between if-else-if and switch structure. (3)
Ans.

Criteria IF-ELSE-IF SWITCH

Q.5 a. Briefly describe NOR and ExclusiveNOR(XNOR) logic gate with circuit
diagram and truth table. (4)
Ans.
NOR Gate:
The Logic NOR Gate gate is a combination of the digital logic OR gate and an inverter or
NOT gate connected together in series:

b. Define Karnaugh Map(K-Map) also write the simplification rules for three
variable Karnaugh Map. (4)
Ans. KarnaughMap(K-Map)
The K-map method of solving the logical expressions is referred to as the
graphical technique of simplifying Boolean expressions. K-maps basically insert the
values of the output variable in cells The number of cells in the K-map is determined by
the number of input variables as two raised to the power of the number of input variables
Simplification rules for three variableKarnaugh Map:
 K-Map has total of 2 rows and 4 columns which corresponds to 8 cells in 3-variable.
 Fill the K-map by entering 1 to each product-term into the K-map cell and fill the
remaining
cells with zeros.
 Form the groups by considering each one in the K-map start making groups of 2, 4,
and 8.
 Groups may be horizontal or vertical, but not diagonal.
 Grouping of 1s includes neighboring cells, corners and sides even though they overlap
each other.
 If possible, include each 1 in at least one group.
 Make larger groups if possible.
 Once all 1s are covered then you can stop.
 Find the Boolean term for each group. By looking at the common variables in cell-
labeling
 Write the simplified function in the form of sum of terms.
