Question Discussion & Solution

A keyboard is for putting information including letters, words, and numbers into the computer. A keyboard's primary function is to act as an input device. Using a keyboard, a person can type a document, use keystroke shortcuts, access menus, play games and perform a variety of other tasks.

Key Points

• A modifier key is a key on a computer's keyboard that's only used in conjunction with another key.
• Modifier keys are often used with other keys to perform computer keyboard shortcuts and other commands.
• For example, in many text editor programs pressing the Ctrl+A selects all text.

Additional Information

• The function keys or F keys are lined across the top of the keyboard and labeled F1 through F12. These keys act as shortcuts, performing certain functions, like saving files, printing data, or refreshing a page.
  • For example, the F1 key is often used as the default help key in many programs. The F5 key is used in an Internet browser to refresh or reload a web page. The function of these keys can differ by the operating system and by a software program.
• A special key or media key, or multimedia key is a keyboard key that performs a special function not included with the traditional 104-key keyboard.
  • For example, the picture shows a Logitech keyboard.
• An ergonomic keyboard is a keyboard designed for comfort, ease of use, and reduced strain on the user.
  • Such keyboards may include features like concave or tapered keys, keys that are well-spaced, or keys that separate and angle out from a central pivot point.

Therefore, based on the above information The keys of a keyboard, which are used to modify the input of other keys, are called modifier keys.

Rohit started walking towards the west.

He walked for 300 m and turned to his right from the post office.

From there, he walked for 200 m.

He then turned to the left and walked a few steps.

Rohit is now standing in front of West direction.

Hence, "West" is the correct answer.

Similar figure repeat in every second step. Each time the first figure reappear it rotates one space anticlockwise direction and each time the second figure reappear it rotates one space clockwise direction.

From the above explanation we can conclude (1), (3) and (5) are same figure with anticlockwise rotation.

Concept:

Newtons Third Law of Motion

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Action and reaction forces act on different bodies. 

Explanation:

• Considering an example, A bullet is fired from a gun.
• The gun applies force to a bullet and the bullet applies force on the gun. 
• If we consider the gun as the only object, it gives recoil which is the reaction force applied by it on the bullet. 
• So action force is a force on bullet and reaction force is applied on the gun. 
• Both forces are not on the same object hence the action and reaction forces cannot balance each other. 

So, 'do not act on the same body.' is the correct option. 

The correct answer is Software program.

• An operating system is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. Operating systems are found on many devices such as a computer, mobile phones, video games etc.
• Software program
  • It is a set of instructions, or a set of modules or procedures, through which computer operation is performed.
  • It is often called a software application and a software product.

Additional Information

• Computer system
  • A Computer system is usually defined as a combination of both hardware and software working together.
  • Hardware is the physical components of a computer and software is the programs that run on a computer.
• Network
  • It is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, peripherals, or other devices connected to one another to allow the sharing of data.
  • E.g - The Internet, often referred to as the ‘Net’, consists of a complex network of computers connected by high-speed communication technologies like satellites, microwave devices, etc.
• Hardware device
  • Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as a case, central processing unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard.
  • It accepts the data (input) from the user.
  • The computer has memory chips, which are designed to hold data until it is needed.
  • It processes this data into information. The computer has an electronic brain called the Central Processing Unit, which is responsible for processing all data into information according to the instructions given to the computer.
  • It then returns the processed information (output) to the user.
