Q1: Explain operating system in detail?

Ans: Operating System lies in the category of system software. It basically manages all the resources of
the computer. An operating system acts as an interface between the software and different parts of the
computer or the computer hardware. The operating system is designed in such a way that it can manage
the overall resources and operations of the computer.
Operating System is a fully integrated set of specialized programs that handle all the operations of the
computer. It controls and monitors the execution of all other programs that reside in the computer, which
also includes application programs and other system software of the computer. Examples of Operating
Systems are Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc.
Q2: Write some operations of operating system?
1. Controls basic input & output devices.
2. Allocates system resources.
3. Manages storage space.
4. Support Application Software.
5. Maintain security.
6. Detects equipment failure.
Q3: Write some various operating system?
1. MS - Dos
2. PC Dos
3. OS / 2
4. Windows
5. UNIX / XENIX
6. MACOSX
7. Windows NT
8. Windows 2000 Server
9. Linux
10. Android
11. IOS
Q4: Describe some functions of Operating system?
Ans:
Booting: Booting or booting up is the initial startup of computer operating system. & ends when the
computer is ready to perform its normal operation.
Resource Management: The operating system manages and allocates memory, CPU time, and other
hardware resources among the various programs and processes running on the computer.
Process Management: The operating system is responsible for starting, stopping, and managing
processes and programs. It also controls the scheduling of processes and allocates resources to them.
Memory Management: The operating system manages the computer’s primary memory and provides
mechanisms for optimizing memory usage.
File Management: The operating system is responsible for organizing and managing the file system,
including the creation, deletion, and manipulation of files and directories.
Device Management: The operating system manages input/output devices such as printers, keyboards,
mice, and displays. It provides the necessary drivers and interfaces to enable communication between the
devices and the computer.
User Interface: The operating system provides a user interface that enables users to interact with the
computer system. This can be a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a Command-Line Interface (CLI), or a
combination of both.
Input / Output Management: I/o management is a function in which operating system coordinates &
assign tasks to the different to the input & output devices.
Q5: Describe User Interface in Detail?
Ans: User Interface: The user and operating system are connected with each other with the help of interface, so
interface is used to connect the user and OS. In computers there are different types of interfaces that can be
used for connection with computers to users and their connection is responsible for data transfer.
Command line interface
The command-line interface is an interface whenever the user needs to have different commands
regarding the input and output and then a task is performed so this is called the command-line argument
and it is used to execute the output and create, delete, print, copy, paste, etc. All these operations are
performed with the help of the command-line interface.
Graphical user interface
The graphical user interface is used for playing games, watching videos, etc. these are done with the help
of GUI because all these applications require graphics. When a task is performed in the computer then the
OS checks the task and defines the interface which is necessary for the task. So, we need GUI in the OS.
Q6: Explain types of operating system in detail?
Ans: The operating system is categorized as under:
1. Single user & Multi – User OS
2. Batch Processing OS
3. Time Sharing OS
4. Real Time Processing OS
Single-User Operating Systems: Single-User Operating Systems are designed to support a single user
at a time. Examples include Microsoft Windows for personal computers and Apple macOS.
Multi-User Operating Systems: Multi-User Operating Systems are designed to support multiple users
simultaneously. Examples include Linux and Unix.
Batch Operating System: A Batch Operating System is a type of operating system that does not interact
with the computer directly. There is an operator who takes similar jobs having the same requirements and
groups them into batches.
Time-sharing Operating System: Time-sharing Operating System is a type of operating system that
allows many users to share computer resources (maximum utilization of the resources).
Real-time Operating System: Real-time Operating System is a type of operating system that serves a
real-time system and the time interval required to process and respond to inputs is very small. These
operating systems are designed to respond to events in real time. They are used in applications that
require quick and deterministic responses, such as embedded systems, industrial control systems, and
robotics.
Q7: Write Difference Between CLI & GUI?
Ans:
CLI (Command Line Interface) GUI (Graphical User Interface)
User-friendliness
CLI is more challenging to understand and use. GUI is easier to understand and use.
Memory Usage
CLI uses less memory. GUI uses more memory.
Speed
CLI operates at a higher speed than GUI. GUI operates at a slower speed than CLI.
Graphics
CLI does not include graphics. Graphics are always included in GUI.
Keyboard and Mouse Usage
GUI requires both a keyboard and a mouse for
CLI only requires a keyboard for operation.
operation.
Error Avoidance
CLI cannot avoid typing errors or spelling mistakes. GUI cannot avoid typing errors or spelling mistakes.
