19. Steps for hosting a website are as follows
i) Select the web hosting service provider that will provide the web server space as
well as related technologies and services such as database, bandwidth, data
backup, firewall support, email service, etc. This has to be done keeping in mind the
features and services that we want to offer through our website.
ii) Identify a domain name, which best suits our requirement, and get it registered
through domain name Registrar.
iii) Once we get web space, create logins with appropriate rights and note down IP
address to manage web space.
iv) Upload the files in properly organised folders on the allocated space.
v) Get domain name mapped to the IP address of the web server.

Based on geographical area coverage network types are as follows:
i) LAN
✓ It is a network that connects computers, mobile phones, tablet, mouse,
printer, etc., placed at a limited distance.
✓ The geographical area covered by a LAN can range from a single room, a
floor, an office having one or more buildings in the same premise,
laboratory, a school, college, or university campus.
✓ The connectivity is done by means of wires, Ethernet cables, fibre optics,
or Wi-Fi.
✓ LAN is comparatively secure as only authentic users in the network can
access other computers or shared resources.
✓ These types of networks can be extended up to 1 km.
✓ Data transfer in LAN is quite high, and usually varies from 10 Mbps (called
Ethernet) to 1000 Mbps (called Gigabit Ethernet), where Mbps stands for
Megabits per second.
ii) MAN
✓ Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is an extended form of LAN which covers a
larger geographical area like a city or a town.
✓ Data transfer rate in MAN also ranges in Mbps, but it is considerably less as
compared to LAN.

✓ Cable TV network or cable based broadband internet services are examples of
MAN.
✓ This kind of network can be extended up to 30–40 km.
✓ Sometimes, many LANs are connected together to form MAN.
iii) WAN
✓ Wide Area Network (WAN) connects computers and others LANs and MANs, which
are spread across different geographical locations of a country or in different
countries or continents.
✓ A WAN could be formed by connecting a LAN to other LANs via wired or wireless
media.
✓ Large business, educational and government organisations connect their different
branches in different locations across the world through WAN.
✓ The Internet is the largest WAN that connects billions of computers, smartphones
and millions of LANs from different continents.

20. As where clause is used with group by which is not correct. With group by clause
having clause is required. The correct statement is as follows:
SELECT CLASS,MAX(MARKS) FROM STUDENT
GROUP BY CLASS HAVING CLASS>8;
21. It groups the rows together that contain the same values in a specified column.
We can use the aggregate functions (COUNT,MAX, MIN, AVG and SUM) to work on
the grouped values. HAVING Clause in SQL is used to specify conditions on the
rows with GROUP BY clause.
Example: SELECT CLASS,MAX(MARKS) FROM STUDENT GROUP BY CLASS

✓ We should try to reduce the generation of e-waste by purchasing the electronic
or electrical devices only according to our need.
✓ They should be used to their maximum capacity and discarded only after their
useful life has ended.
✓ Good maintenance of electronics devices also increases the life of the devices.
b) Reuse:
✓ It is the process of re-using the electronic or electric waste after slight
modification.
✓ The electronic equipment that is still functioning should be donated or sold to
someone who is still willing to use it. The process of re-selling old electronic
goods at lower prices is called refurbishing.
c) Recycle:
✓ Recycling is the process of conversion of electronic devices into something that
can be used again and again in some or the other manner.
✓ Only those products should be recycled that cannot be repaired, refurbished or
re-used.
✓ To promote recycling of e-waste many companies and NGOs are providing
door-to-door pick up facilities for collecting the e-waste from homes and
offices.
(Reference: NCERT Textbook IP Class XII Pg.No:185)
OR
✓ Intellectual Property refers to the inventions, literary and artistic expressions,
designs and symbols, names and logos.
✓ The ownership of such concepts lies with the creator, or the holder of the
intellectual property.
✓ This enables the creator or copyright owner to earn recognition or financial

for each column of the records on which the function is applied.
✓ The aggregate functions are as follows:

o min : example: select min(age) from student;
o sum : example: select sum(sal) from emp
o avg : example: select avg(marks) from student;
