Explanation:
A MultiNational Company (MNC) is a company that operates and has a presence in more than one country. It is characterized by its ability to conduct business on a global scale and has several distinguishing features. Let's examine each of the options to determine which one is not a feature of an MNC:
A: It owns/controls production in more than one nation.
- This is a characteristic feature of an MNC. It refers to the ability of the company to have production facilities or operations in multiple countries.
B: It sets up factories where it is close to the markets.
- This is another characteristic feature of an MNC. It involves the strategic placement of factories or production facilities in locations that are close to the target markets. This allows the company to reduce transportation costs and respond quickly to market demands.
C: It organizes production in complex ways.
- This is also a feature of an MNC. Due to its global operations, an MNC often organizes production in complex ways, such as establishing supply chains that span multiple countries or implementing decentralized production processes.
D: It employs labor only from its own country.
- This is not a feature of an MNC. MNCs typically employ a diverse workforce from different countries, including the host country where their operations are located. Hiring labor only from their own country would limit the company's ability to adapt to local markets and take advantage of the diverse skills and expertise available globally.
Therefore, the correct answer is D: It employs labor only from its own country. This is not a feature of a MultiNational Company.

Key Points

• Secondary memory, also known as auxiliary memory or non-volatile memory, is a type of computer memory that retains data even when the power is turned off.
• It is non-volatile, meaning it does not lose its data when the power supply is disconnected.
• Secondary memory is used for long-term storage of data and files, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), magnetic tapes, and optical discs like CDs and DVDs.
• In contrast, volatile memory, such as random access memory (RAM), is temporary and loses its data when the power is removed.

Additional Information

•  Memory refers to the electronic storage space where data and instructions are stored for processing by the computer's central processing unit (CPU). Computer memory is an essential component that allows the computer to perform tasks and store information.
• Here are the main types of memory in a computer system:
  • Random Access Memory (RAM): RAM is the primary type of computer memory used for temporary data storage while the computer is running. It provides fast access to data and instructions that are actively used by the CPU. RAM is volatile, meaning its contents are lost when the computer is powered off or restarted.
  • Read-Only Memory (ROM): ROM is a type of memory that stores permanent instructions or data that cannot be modified or erased. It contains firmware or software instructions that are necessary for booting up the computer and initializing essential components. ROM retains its contents even when the computer is powered off.
  • Cache Memory: Cache memory is a small, high-speed memory that resides closer to the CPU. It serves as a buffer between the CPU and main memory (RAM). Cache memory stores frequently accessed data and instructions, allowing the CPU to quickly retrieve them without accessing the slower main memory. It helps improve overall system performance.
  • Virtual Memory: Virtual memory is a technique used by operating systems to extend the available memory beyond the physical RAM capacity. It uses a portion of the computer's hard drive as an extension of RAM. Virtual memory allows running more programs and handling larger datasets than what can fit in physical memory alone.
  • Flash Memory: Flash memory is a non-volatile memory used for long-term data storage in devices like USB drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and memory cards. It retains data even when the power is turned off. Flash memory is popular

Term used when you press and hold the left mouse key and move the mouse around the slide:

• Dragging: This is the correct term used when you press and hold the left mouse key and move the mouse around the slide. It refers to the action of moving an object or selecting multiple objects by holding down the mouse button and moving the cursor.


• Highlighting: This term is not applicable in this context. Highlighting usually refers to the action of selecting text or a portion of text by changing its background color.


• Selecting: This term is also not specifically used to describe the action of pressing and holding the left mouse key and moving the mouse around the slide. Selecting typically refers to choosing or picking something from a list or group of items.


• Both (b) and (c): This option is incorrect because the correct term for pressing and holding the left mouse key and moving the mouse around the slide is only dragging. The term "selecting" is not accurate in this context.

Therefore, the correct term used when you press and hold the left mouse key and move the mouse around the slide is dragging.

Direct Method of Deadlock Prevention

A direct method of deadlock prevention is to prevent the occurrence of circular waits. Here is a detailed explanation:

Mutual Exclusion:
- Mutual exclusion refers to the condition where a resource can only be allocated to one process at a time.
- Preventing mutual exclusion is not a direct method of deadlock prevention because it may not always be feasible to allow multiple processes to access a resource simultaneously.
Hold and Wait:
- Hold and wait refers to the condition where a process holds a resource while waiting for another resource.
- Preventing hold and wait is not a direct method of deadlock prevention because it may not always be possible for a process to acquire all the required resources at once.
Circular Waits:
- Circular waits refer to the condition where a set of processes form a circular chain, with each process in the chain waiting for a resource held by the next process in the chain.
- Preventing circular waits is a direct method of deadlock prevention as it eliminates the possibility of a deadlock occurring due to circular dependency.
No Preemption:
- No preemption refers to the condition where a resource cannot be forcibly taken away from a process.
- While preventing no preemption can help in avoiding certain deadlocks, it is not a direct method of deadlock prevention as it does not eliminate the possibility of circular waits.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: Circular waits. Preventing the occurrence of circular waits is a direct method of deadlock prevention.

To design an effective output report, it is important to consider the following factors:
i. Volume of output:
- The amount of information that needs to be included in the report should be determined.
- The report should be designed in a way that presents the necessary information concisely and clearly.
- Consideration should be given to the length and format of the report to ensure that it is easily readable and understandable.
ii. Potential users:
- Identify the target audience or potential users of the report.
- Understand their needs, requirements, and level of expertise.
- The report should be tailored to meet the specific needs of the users to ensure that it provides them with the necessary information.
iii. Current users:
- Consider the existing users of the report and their feedback.
- Analyze their requirements and preferences to improve the design of the report.
- Ensure that the report addresses the needs and expectations of the current users to maintain their satisfaction.
iv. Periodicity of output:
- Determine the frequency at which the report will be generated.
- Consider whether the report will be generated daily, weekly, monthly, or on an ad-hoc basis.
- Design the report in a way that presents the information in a timely manner and meets the requirements of the reporting frequency.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D: i, ii, iii, iv. All the mentioned factors are important to consider while designing an output report.

Inter Process Communication (IPC)
Inter Process Communication (IPC) refers to the mechanisms and techniques used by different processes running on a computer system to communicate and share data with each other. It allows processes to exchange information, synchronize their activities, and coordinate their actions.
Methods of Inter Process Communication
There are several methods of IPC that can be used for communication between processes. These methods include:
1. Mails:
- Processes can communicate with each other by sending messages through a mailbox or a message queue.
- Messages can be exchanged asynchronously, allowing processes to communicate even if they are not running at the same time.
- This method is commonly used in message-oriented middleware systems.
2. Messages:
- Processes can communicate by sending messages directly to each other.
- Messages can be sent using various protocols, such as TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
- This method allows for both synchronous and asynchronous communication between processes.
3. System Calls:
- Processes can use system calls provided by the operating system to communicate with each other.
- System calls such as pipe, shared memory, and sockets can be used for IPC.
- This method allows for efficient and reliable communication between processes.
4. Traps:
- Processes can use software interrupts or traps to communicate with the operating system or other processes.
- Traps can be used to request services from the operating system or to notify other processes about events.
- This method is commonly used in event-driven systems.
In conclusion, inter process communication can be done through various methods such as mails, messages, system calls, and traps. The choice of IPC method depends on the requirements of the system and the nature of the communication between processes.
