4. Write short notes on the following:

2×5=10

(a) Rulers

(b) Input Devices

(c) Components of E-mail address

(d) Line Charts

(e) Steps to insert a text box in a slide

Ans- (a) Rulers: The rulers display horizontal and vertical scales that reflect the width and height of your typing area. The horizontal scale is invaluable when you want to quickly set tabs, margins, and indents. 

(b) Input Devices: Input devices accept data and instructions from the user. Following are the examples of various input devices, which are connected to the computer for this purpose:

1. Keyboard

2. Mouse

3. Light Pen

4. Optical/magnetic

5. Touch Screen Scanner

6. Microphone for voice as input

(c) Components of E- mail address 

theopenpublication@yahoo.com

First part is the User ID (theopenpublication) that refers to the recipient’s mailbox. Then there is an at sign (@). Next comes the host name (yahoo), also called the domain name. This refers to the mail server, the computer where the recipient has an electronic mailbox. It is usually the name of a company or organization. The end of the domain name consists of a dot (“”) followed by three or more letters (such as .com and .gov) that indicate the top-level domain (TLD). This part of the domain name indicates the type of organization or the country where the host server is located.

5. Differentiate between the following (specify two differences in each) :

2×5=10

(a) Sum () funclion and Sumif () Function

(b) Telnet and FTP

(c) Application Software and System Software

(d) Main Document and Data Source

(e) Windows Explorer and Controt Panel.

Ans. (a) Sum () funclion: Adds all the numbers in a range of cells. 

Syntax SUM(number1,number2, …) 

Maximum number of arguments can be 255 i.e. 

Number1, number2… number 255. 

Sum function is having different forms. You Can choose as per your need. 

SUMIF (range, criteria, sum_range) : This form of sum functions is used to add the cells with respective to a given criteria.

Range: A group of adjacent cells within a range must be numbers or names, arrays, or references which are having numbers. In sumif function the blank and text values are ignored.

Criteria: It can be a number, expression, or text to define which cells will be considered for the addition e.g. criteria can be fixed as 12, “12”, “12”, or “mangoes”.

Sum_range: These are the actual cells to be added if their corresponding cells in range match criteria. In case the sum_range is avoided, then the cells in range are both evaluated by criterial and added if they match criteria.

(b) Telnet: Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area network LAN connections. The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you are entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely controlled Web servers.

FTP: FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the Internet or an Intranet). 

(c) Application Software: Application software is a set of programs, which are written to perform specific tasks, for example: An application package for managing library known as library information system is used to manage information of library such as: keeping book details, account holder details, book issue details, book return details exc. Another application package for managing student details is called student’s information system, manages student’s roll no, name, parents name, address, class, section, processing of examination results etc.

Application software can be broadly classified into two types: 

(a) Generalized packages.

(b) Customized packages.

System Software: When you switch on the computer the programs stored in ROM are executed which activates different units of your computer and makes it ready for you to work on it. This set of programs can be called system software. System softwares are sets of programs, responsible for running the computer, controlling various operations of computer systems and management of computer resources. Operating System (OS) falls under this category. 

(d) Main Document: In a Mail Merge operation, the personalized document (such as, a standard letter, or envelope, or mailing label) is known as the main document. 

Data Source : Data source is a file that contains the names and addresses or any other information that vary with each version of a mail-merge document. For example, a list of names and addresses for a form letter you want to send to a list of clients or other people.
