Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) #Problem Solving & Logical Reasoning
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.
