Question Discussion & Solution

The computer has evolved from a large-sized simple calculating machine to a much smaller machine capable of multiple functionalities. Each generation of computer is designed based on the hardware technology used leading to better, cheaper and powerful computers that are faster and efficient than their predecessors.

Hence, it can be concluded from the table that vacuum tubes were used by the first generation computers.

Temporal cohesion:

When a module contains functions that are related by the fact that these functions are executed in the same time span, then the module is said to possess temporal cohesion.

Example of Temporal cohesion,

The correct answer is Indicator.

Key Points

• Indicators are substances that show a change in colour when brought in contact with acids and bases.
• The most common indicator used in the laboratory is Litmus.
• Litmus is extracted from lichens.

Additional Information

• A promoter is a sequence of DNA needed to turn a gene on or off.
• A neutralizer is a substance used in the neutralization of acidic water.
• Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react quantitatively with each other to form water and salt.
• A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the reaction.

• Becquerel is the SI unit of radioactivity.
• 1 Becquerel = 1 disintegration/Second
  • Disintegration: As the radioactive elements are unstable they will disintegrate at any moment by emitting alpha or beta particles and form new elements called daughter elements which are completely different in both physical and chemical properties when compared to the elements they came from.
  • The rate of disintegration does not depend upon external factors like temperature, pressure, etc.

The correct answer is F11.

• The F11 key can take our screen into and out of full-screen mode quickly and easily. 

​Important Points

• Function key
  • A function key is a key on a computer or terminal keyboard which can be programmed so as to cause an operating system command interpreter to perform certain actions, a form of a soft key.

​ 

• F11​
  • The Most simple use is the F11 key can take our screen into and out of full-screen mode quickly and easily. 
  • F11 key can be used by combined with Shift, Ctrl, Alt keys.
    • Some of the uses of the F11 key in MS Word.
      • SHIFT + F11 = Go to the previous field.
      • CTRL + F11 = Lock a field.
      • CTRL + SHIFT + F11 = Unlock a field.
      • ALT + F11 = Display Microsoft Visual Basic Code.
      • ALT + SHIFT + F11 = Display Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

​Additional Information

• F8
  • ​​We can access the menu by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts.
• F9
  • F9 will refresh fields in Word and prompt Outlook to send and receive messages.
• F10
  • ​F10 activates the menu bar or Ribbon of an open application.
  • Shift + F10 is the same as right-clicking on a highlighted icon, file, or Internet link.
