3. Differentiate between Computational thinking and Logical thinking.
Computational thinking involves problem-solving using a step-by-step approach,
often using computers.
Logical thinking is the ability to reason and draw conclusions based on evidence.
4. Write four properties of Computational thinking.
1. Decomposition: Breaking down a problem into smaller parts.
2. Pattern recognition: Identifying patterns or similarities in data.
3. Abstraction: Focusing on the essential features of a problem while ignoring
irrelevant details.
4. Algorithm design: Creating a step-by-step plan to solve a problem.
5. What are the methods used to design a solution?
• Methods include:
o Problem analysis
o Algorithm development
o Coding
o Testing
o Debugging
• Decomposition.

• Example:
o Math: Calculating the area of a circle
o Science: Simulating the movement of planets
o History: Analyzing historical data to identify trends
9. How many different telephone numbers are possible with a given area code?
• There are 8 million possible telephone numbers with a given area code.
(Explanation: 8 digits remaining after the area code, and the first digit cannot
be 0, so 8 choices for the first digit and 10 choices for each of the remaining 7
digits: 8 * 10^7 = 8,000,000)
10. How many possible routes are there from city A to city C passing through
city B?
Q1. Identify whether the given problems are Decision Problem, Counting
Problem or Search Problem.
• a. Decision Problem
• b. Counting Problem
• c. Decision Problem
• d. Counting Problem
• e. Search Problem
Q2. In how many ways can the student select the 3 courses he has to take?

multiplication, or division)
Perform Based on the operation, perform the calculation (e.g., Store the result
calculation addition: num1 + num2)
Display result Display the calculated result to the user
a) IPO Chart:
Input Process Output
Number of Determine the number of guests Store the number of
guests guests
Budget Set a budget for the party Store the budget
Venue Choose a suitable venue (e.g., home, park, Store the venue
restaurant)
Food Plan the menu and catering Create a food plan
Decorations Decide on decorations and theme Create a decoration plan
Activities Plan activities and games Create an activity list
Invitations Send invitations to guests
b) Properties of Computational Thinking:
1. Decomposition: Breaking down the problem into smaller tasks (e.g.,
planning the venue, food, decorations, and activities separately).
2. Pattern recognition: Identifying patterns in similar party planning tasks (e.g.,
using past experiences or templates).
3. Abstraction: Focusing on the essential elements of the party (e.g., guest list,
budget, and venue) while ignoring irrelevant details.
4. Algorithm design: Creating a step-by-step plan for organizing the party (e.g.,
booking the venue, ordering food, sending invitations).

Q.1. What is Document Object Model (DOM)? Explain with the help of an
example.
• The DOM is a programming interface for HTML, XML, and other structured
documents.
• It represents the document's structure as a tree-like structure of nodes.
• Each node represents an element, attribute, or text in the document.
• Example:
JavaScript
• HTML provides six levels of headings: <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and
<h6>.
• Higher-level headings are larger and more important.
Example:
HTML
<h1>Main Heading</h1>
<h2>Subheading 1</h2>
<h3>Subheading 2</h3>
<h4>Subheading 3</h4>
<h5>Subheading 4</h5>
<h6>Subheading 5</h6>
CSS
body {
background-image: url('background.jpg');
background-size: cover; /* Cover the entire background */
background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Prevent image repetition */
background-attachment:
fixed; /* Keep the image fixed while scrolling */
}
• Inline CSS:
o Apply styles directly to individual HTML elements using the style
attribute.
o Example: <p style="color: blue;">Blue text</p>
• Internal CSS:
o Define styles within the <head> section of the HTML document using
the <style> tag.
Example:
HTML
<head>
<style>
p{
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
• External CSS:
o Create a separate CSS file and link it to the HTML document using the
<link> tag.
Example:
HTML
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
styles.css:
CSS
p{
color: green;
}
1. Create an HTML table: Define the table structure using <table>, <tr>, and
<td> tags.
2. Apply CSS styles: Use CSS to style the table's borders and cell colors.
Example:
HTML
<table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse;">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alice</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bob</td>
<td>30</td>
</tr>
</table>
Q.6. Discuss the functionality JavaScript can provide in a webpage with the
help of a suitable example code.
JavaScript
// Click counter
const counterButton = document.getElementById("counterButton");
const countElement = document.getElementById("count");
let count = 0;
counterButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
count++;
countElement.textContent = count;
});
Q.7. Articulate steps and write code to create a scrolling text on a webpage.
CSS Method:
HTML
<marquee direction="left" behavior="scroll">This is a scrolling text.</marquee>
JavaScript Method:
Q.8. Enlist steps to add a video clip in a website which starts playing as the
web page loads.
1. Prepare the video: Encode the video in a suitable format (e.g., MP4, WebM).
2. Add the <video> tag: Insert the <video> tag into your HTML code.
3. Set the src attribute: Specify the source of the video file.
4. Add the autoplay and muted attributes: The autoplay attribute starts the
video automatically, and the muted attribute silences the audio.
Example:
HTML
<video autoplay muted loop>
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
