                     1.  Aarav wants to set up a network for his organisation. He wants to use a topology in
                        which all nodes are connected in a circular path. Which topology should he choose?

                     2.  Chirag wants to setup a server that manages all the network traffic. What type of
                        server does he want to setup?

                 1.   Suggest a solution for the given problems:
                      Sukhtam Steels wants to build a network to connect 15 computers in a small area. They want that the
                    network should be robust as well as it is easy to add a new device. Which network topology is most
                    suitable in this case?
                 2.  Identify the correct statements for Peer-to-Peer computing environment:
                      (i) In here, clients and servers are not distinguished from one another.

                     (ii)  All computer distributed throughout the system (within) are considered Peers and

                        each may act as either a client or a server.
                    (iii) Peer-to-Peer system has certain advantages over the traditional client-server system.


                    (iv) Peer-to-Peer system is just a copy of the file-server system.
