1 Explain advantages and disadvantages of different computing paradigms [4]

with examples.

2 Explain the features of python programming language and also list out its [2+2]
application domain.

3 The Tower of Hanoi is a classic problem in recursion, where you have three [6]
rods and a number of disks of different sizes that can slide onto any rod. The
puzzle starts with the disks stacked in ascending order of size on one rod, the
largest disk on the bottom and the smallest at the top. The objective of the
puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following
rules:

a. Only one disk can be moved at a time.

b. Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the
stacks and placing it on top of another stack or on an empty rod.
c. No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

Write a Python program that solves the Tower of Hanoi problem using recursion. The
program should output the steps required to move the disks from the source rod to the
target rod.

1 Discuss the working principles and applications of Zener diodes, LEDs, photodiodes, [4]
