Q1. What are the different types of Number systems used by the
computers?
Ans :

Types of Number System

The number systems that are generally used by the computers are decimal,

binary, octal and hexadecimal number system.

 Decimal Number System. The decimal number system is the primary

number system which we use everyday while counting and has base ten. The
name is derived from the Latin word ‘Decem’, which means ten. Each digit in
a base ten number represents units ten times the units of the digit to its right.
In a decimal number system each position of the digit is represented by the
base (radix) value raised to a power. The power starts at 0 for the leftmost
digit and it increments each position that continues to the left.
  Binary Number System : The data which you store in your computer is stored
in binary form because the CPU and memory are made up of millions of tiny
switches that can be either in the ON (1) or OFF (0) states. With this kind of
number system, it is very easier for the hardware to represent data since it
has to deal with only two numbers (0 and 1). This type of number system has
base 2, each position is in this number system represents a power of the base
2.
 Octal Number System. It is another positional number system with 8 digits
(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) and has base 8. In order to determine the digit of a number
system, the octal system uses power of 8. The octal equivalent of the decimal
number (359)10 is (547)8 and the binary equivalent of (547)8 is
(101100111)2. The conversion from one form to another will be explained in
the next section.
 Hexadecimal Number System. This is another number system which works
exactly like decimal and binary number systems except that it has base 16
with 16 digits. To represent the decimal numbers, this system uses 0 to 9
numbers and A to F characters to represent 10 to 15 respectively and uses
power of 16 to determine the digits.Q2. What is technology acquisition?
Explain the two methods of technology acquisition.

Q2 Describe the applications of Computers in business and social life.

Ans :

Applications of computer

 Communication: The messages or letters are sent through e-mail with the
help of computer. The invention of internet has changed the lifestyle and
working environment. The major advantage of this service is that it saves
time, saves papers etc. Nowadays all the facilities are available in the net,
like online booking of the airlines ticket, train tickets, online shopping and
many more.
  Entertainment: The computer is widely used as a mode of entertainment
mostly by the youngsters. We use computers to watch movies, listen to
music, store images etc., the special effects in the movies would not have
been possible without the computer. It also helps the film industry for
adding graphics and animations in the movie.
 Banking: The work of bank has been made easier with computer, almost all
the works are done with computer. The various branches of the bank work
together through network and the transaction is completed without any
delay through computer. We can withdraw or deposit cash from any ATM
machines of the same bank or other at any time of the day.
 Science: The computers are used for scientific purposes in order to develop
theories, analyze and test the data. They are used for research, study of
weather pattern, study of solar system and other applications. They also
help in comparative study and allow different scientific analyses to be
carried out.
 Engineering/manufacturing: The engineers use computer for drawing and
designing. Computers create three dimensional objects which can be viewed
as real objects. The manufacturing factories use computerized robots for the
hazardous jobs which we see huge machine working on its own in the
factory; those machines are the robots The computers help in coordinating
the entire manufacturing processes.
 Education: The whole process of education has been changed due to
computers. Computers are used in the classrooms, libraries and museums
to make the education more interesting and interactive.

Q3. Explain how templates are created and used in MS-Power Point

Ans:

Applying templates

1. Click on Office Button > New. A dialog box opens .

2. Click on installed templates section located on the left hand margin. The
window displays all the installed templates on the display (middle and

right side section) of the window.

3. Select the desired template

4. Click create button located at the bottom left hand corner of the dialog

box. A new presentation is created based on the selected template.

Creating custom templates

To create custom template

1. First create the template.

2. Once the template has been created, Click on office button > Save or

Save as. A dialog box opens (fig 7.33)

3. From the Save as type option box, select PowerPoint Template (*.potx)

option. This is the PowerPoint 2007 template file

Navigate to the location where you would like to save the template

(rectangle box) at the top of the dialog box. By default all templates are

stored by PowerPoint at another specified location.

4. Clicks save. The new template is created.

 Navigate to the location using explorer not PowerPoint application.

 Right click the Template and from the short cut menu, select New.

AA new document based on the template will be created.
