SECTION—B SUBJECTIVE TYPE QUESTIONS

6. Feedback is the response or the reaction given by the audience after receiving the message. It helps the sender to
analyse the effectiveness of the delivered message. Feedback can be verbal, written or non-verbal in form of
words, letters, emails, reactions, opinions or even expressions. Feedback is essential as it can impact decision
making or affect results in competitive situations. It is also valuable in its ability to help the speaker/performer to
find their weaker areas and improve upon them.

7. The ability to work independently refers to an individual’s capacity to perform tasks, make decisions, and complete
responsibilities without constant supervision or guidance from others. This skill encompasses the capacity to initiate and carry out tasks, solve problems, prioritize assignments, and make decisions without relying heavilyon external input. Name three key aspects of working independently.

8. Real-time operating systems are specially crafted for applications where immediate and predictable responses to
inputs are crucial. They are used in robotics, industrial automation, medical devices, or aerospace control systems.
RTOSs ensure that critical tasks happen within precise timeframes, making them ideal for situations where timing
is everything.

9. Entrepreneurship is the process of conceptualizing, creating, and managing a new business venture or enterprise.
It involves identifying opportunities, taking calculated risks, and organizing resources to transform innovative
ideas into viable products, services, or solutions that fulfill market needs or solve problems.

10. i. Promote Renewable Energy Sources : Utilize solar, wind, and hydroelectric power to generate clean energy,
reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
ii. Enhance Energy Efficiency : Implement energy-saving technologies like LED lighting, energy-efficient appliances,
and better insulation to minimize energy consumption.

11. Fill Format Mode feature proves particularly helpful when you need to apply a style to multiple scattered objects
in the document. Fill Format Mode is used to apply a style to many different areas quickly without having to go
back to the Styles and Formatting pane and double-click every time.

12. Consolidating data involves merging information from multiple worksheets into a single location. In Calc, you can
effortlessly achieve this using the Consolidate feature. It collects data from various worksheets and compiles it
into a master worksheet.

13. At times, when you receive multiple edited versions of a sheet from reviewers simultaneously, it can be challenging
to review them individually. To address this issue, Calc offers the Merge Document feature, which allows you to
combine these multiple files. This way, you can efficiently review all the changes in one consolidated document
instead of going through them one by one. It’s important to note that all the edited documents should have
recorded changes for this feature to work effectively.

14. Referential integrity is a critical concept in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) that ensures the
accuracy, consistency, and integrity of data relationships between tables. It enforces rules and constraints to
maintain the integrity of data within a relational database.

15. 1. Objects Relationship Pane : Located at the top, this pane displays the tables selected for the query and the
relationships between them. These relationships are indicated by joined lines that link the key fields that share
the same field name.
2. Design Grid : Positioned at the bottom, this is where you build your query. You can add fields from the selected
tables to the Design Grid by either dragging and dropping them or double-clicking on the fields.

16. First aid is the immediate care and assistance provided to an injured or ill person before professional medical help
arrives. The primary goal of first aid is to provide immediate care that can make a significant difference in the
outcome of an injury or illness. Rapid response can prevent conditions from worsening and improve the chances
of a full recovery.


17. To customise the table of contents, follow these steps :
1. Right-click on the table of contents and select the Edit Index option.
2. The Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography dialog box appears.
3. The Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography dialog box consists of five tabs. You can use the options given
under each tab to customise the table of contents :
(a) The Type tab helps to set the attributes of the TOC, for example, the type of index.
(b) The Entries tab provides you with the ability to format and set exactly how each entry in the table of
contents will be displayed.
(c) The Styles tab provides options for applying paragraph styles to the table of contents. (d) The Columns
tab is used to arrange the TOC into more than one column.
(d) The Background tab has the options to add colour or a graphic to the background of the TOC.
4. After making all of your changes, click OK to save the table of contents.

18. 1. Create a spreadsheet and save it in a network location so that the other users can access it easily.
2. Click on the Tools menu.
3. Choose Share Spreadsheet… to activate the collaboration features for this file.
4. The Share Document dialog box opens. Select the Share this spreadsheet with other users checkbox to enable
sharing.
5. Click on OK.
6. A message appears ‘The spreadsheet must be saved now to activate sharing mode.’
7. Click on Yes to continue.
8. If the spreadsheet has not been saved previously, the Save As dialog box appears. Give an appropriate name
and save the spreadsheet.
9. The word (shared) is shown on the title bar next to the spreadsheet’s title.
10. Now, all the users can work together on the same spreadsheet.

19. Database objects are the basic building blocks of a database. They are used to store, organize, and manage data.
Some common database objects are as follows :
Tables : Tables are the core storage units in a database. They represent collections of related data organized into
rows and columns. Each row in a table is called a record or tuple, while each column is known as an attribute or
field. Tables store the actual data.
Queries : Queries are used to retrieve, manipulate, and analyze data from one or more tables. They can filter,
sort, aggregate, and join data, enabling users to extract meaningful information from the database.
Forms : Forms are user interfaces designed for data entry and manipulation. They provide a userfriendly way to
interact with the database by presenting data in a structured and visually appealing manner. They can be used to
create new records, update existing records, or delete records.
Reports : Reports are used to display data from a database in a formatted way. They can be used to generate
formatted documents for printing or for viewing on screen, based on the data stored in the database.

20. A numeric data type is a data type that is used to store and represent numbers. Numeric data types are used to
store and represent numbers, which can include phone numbers, admission numbers, house numbers, years of
birth, true or false statements, and statistical values. The different types of numeric data type are listed below :



21. (i) Chemical Exposure : Contact with hazardous substances, such as cleaning agents, industrial chemicals,
pesticides or solvents, can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation or poisoning. Longterm exposure may
lead to chronic conditions like cancer or organ damage.
(ii) Biological Hazards : Exposure to bacteria, viruses, fungi or other pathogens, especially in industries like
healthcare, food processing or research, can lead to infections, allergies or serious illnesses.
(iii) Ergonomic Risks : Poorly designed workstations or repetitive tasks can lead to musculoskeletal disorders,
such as carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain or neck strain. Improper lifting techniques or prolonged sitting can
exacerbate these issues.
(iv) Air Quality Issues : Poor ventilation or exposure to dust, fumes or pollutants in the workplace can lead to
respiratory conditions.
