Why do we need a PHP script in Webpages? What type of output is generated when a PHP script is processed?
Answer:
Client-side scripts(JavaScript) are run faster but it has some limitations. The limitations are we can view the source code hence it is less secure. On the other hand, PHP is executed on the server and the result is sent back to the client (browser) so it is impossible to view the source code.

Scripts can be placed inside the <HEAD> section. This method is a widely accepted method
3. External (another) JavaScript file
We can write scripts in a file and save it as a separate file with the extension .js. The advantage is that this file can be used across multiple HTML files and can enhance the speed of page loading.
Question 22.
What is meant by web hosting? Briefly explain any two pages of web hosting?
Answer:
Web hosting
Buying or renting storage space to store website in a web server and provide service(made available 24×7) to all the computers connected to the Internet. This is called web hosting. Such service providing companies are called web hosts. Programming languages used are PHP, ASP.NET, JSP.NET, etc.
Types of web hosting
Various types of web hosting services are available. We can choose the web hosting services according to our needs depends upon the storage space needed for hosting, the number of visitors expected to visit, etc.
1. Shared Hosting: This type of hosting shares resources, like memory, disk space, and CPU hence the name shared. Several websites share the same server. This is suitable for small websites that have less traffic and it is not suitable for large websites that have large bandwidth, large storage space, and have a large volume of traffic. Eg: Shared hosting is very similar to living in an Apartment(Villas) complex. All residents are in the same location and must share the available resources(Car parking area, Swimming pool, Gymnasium, playground, etc) with everyone.
2. Dedicated Hosting: A web server and its resources are exclusively for one website that has a large volume of traffic means a large volume of requests by visitors. Some Govt, departments or large organizations require uninterrupted services for that round the clock power supply is needed. It is too expensive but it is more reliable and provides good service to the public.
Eg: It is similar to living in an Our own house. All the resources in your house are only for you. No one else’s account resides on the computer and would not be capable of tapping into your resources.
3. Virtual Private Server (VPS): A VPS is a virtual machine sold as a service by an Internet hosting Service. A VPS runs its own copy of an OS(Operating System) and customers have super level access to that OS instance, so they can install almost any s/w that runs on that OS. This type is suitable for websites that require more features than shared hosting but less features than dedicated hosting.
Eg: It is similar to owning a Condo
Question 23.
Explain the different levels of data abstraction in DBMS?
Answer:
Levels of Database Abstraction
- Physical Level (Lowest Level) – It describes how the data is actually stored in the storage medium.
- Logical Level (Next Higher Level) – It describes what data are stored in the database.
- View Level (Highest level) – It is closest to the users. It is concerned with the way in which the individual users view the data.
Question 24.
Which constraints are used to define the following cases in SQL?

c) not null
Question 25.
Consider the data given below
Data in first array: 12, 36, 29, 34, 48
Data in Second array: Pen = 35, Pencil = 40, Eraser = 5, Brush = 25.
a) Name the suitable types of arrays to store these data. (1 score)
b) Write the PHP code to create these arrays to store the data. (2 scores)
Answer:
a) first array – Indexed array
second array – Associated array
b) i) $mark=array(12, 36, 29, 34, 48);
ii) $price=array(“Pen”=>”35″,”Pencil”=>”40″, “Eraser”=>”5”, “Brush”=>”25”);
Question 26.
What is meant by distributed computing? Discuss any two distributed computing Paradigms.
Answer:
Distributed computing is a method of computing in which large problems can be divided into smaller ones and these smaller one are distributed among several computers. The solution for the smaller ones are computed separately and simultaneously. Finally, the results are assembled to get the desired overall solution.
1. Parallel computing
In Serial computation, the problem is divided into a series of instructions and these instructions are executed sequentially, i.e. one after another. Here, only one instruction is executed at a time. But in parallel computing, more than one instruction is executed simultaneously at a time.
2. Grid computing
It is a system in which millions of computers, smartphones, satellites, telescopes, cameras, sensors, etc. are connected to each other as a cyber world in which computational power (resources, services, data) is readily available like electric power. Any information at any time at any place can be made available at our fingertips. This is used in disaster management, weather forecasting, market forecasting, bio information, etc.
Question 27.
What are the different types of interaction between stakeholders in e-Governance?
Answer:
e-Governance facilitates interaction between different stakeholders in governance
- Government to Government(G2G): Electronically exchanging data or information among Government agencies, departments or organizations.
- Government to Citizens(G2C): Exchange information between Government and Citizens Government to Business(G2B): Interaction between the Government and Businessmen.
- Government to Employees(G2E): The exchange of information between the Government and its employees
Answer any two questions from 28 to 30 (5 scores each)
Question 28.
a) Why do we need a dynamic webpage? Give an example.
b) What is the role ofwebservers?
c) Differentiate static webpage and dynamic webpage
Answer:
a) Some pages are displaying the same content(same text, images, etc) every time. Its content is not changing. This type of web page is called a static page. Conventional web pages display static pages and have some limitations.
Advanced tools are used to create web pages dynamic, which means pages are more attractive and interactive. For this JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, JSP, PHP, etc are used.
b) A computer with high storage capacity, high speed, and processing capabilities is called a web server. Hence it is a powerful computer with a server operating system and software for providing services like www, e-mail, etc. Popular server operating systems are Redhat, OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Sun Solaris, Microsoft Windows Server, etc.
c)
| Static web pages |
Dynamic web pages |
| Content and layout is fixed |
Content and layout is changed frequently |
| Never use database Run by browser |
The database is used It runs on the server and result get back to the client (browser) |
| Easy to develop |
Not at all easy |
