There are four questions in this assignment, which carry 25 marks. Answer all
the questions. You may use illustrations and diagrams to enhance the
explanations. Please go through the guidelines regarding assignments given in
the CIT Programme Guide. The examples, whenever asked to be given, should

Question 1:
(a) Define a computer system from a functional perspective. Draw a functional block
diagram of its architecture and illustrate the operational interactions among the
Central Processing Unit (CPU), memory units, and peripheral interfaces.
(b) Describe the role of input and output devices in modern computing. Briefly explain
the any two distinct types of output devices.
(c) Describe need of secondary storage systems. Contrast secondary storage with
primary memory on parameters of volatility, latency, cost per unit of storage, and
capacity constraints. 
Question 2:
(a) Differentiate between system software and application software. Discuss where
utility software fits within this system hierarchy, and explain how its service
delivery to the operating system differs from that of specialized application tools
with example. 
(b) Define a flowchart and tell its utility. List and explain the standard geometric
symbols used in flowchart construction, and design a flowchart to calculate simple
interest.
(c) Write a C program that prompts the user to input the side of a square, and computes
its total surface area, and displays the result. (2 Marks)
Question 3:
(a) Describe the foundational objective of a computer network. Compare and contrast
the physical layout and point-of-failure vulnerabilities of the Ring topology with
those of the Bus topology.
(b) List the technical and operational distinctions between synchronous and
asynchronous data transmission modes. Provide distinct, real-world networking
examples of each mode.
4
(c) Describe the ISO/OSI Reference Model by listing its seven structural layers in
sequential order. Succinctly describe the unique network responsibility assigned to
each layer. 
Question 4:
(a) Define the structural ecosystem of social networking platforms. Evaluate its primary
societal benefits, the advantages of its communication velocity. How is it useful in
in promoting professional collaboration. 
(b) Justify the institutional necessity of establish
