22 Xenox Technologies deals in hardware components required for assembling computer 4x1
systems in the Nehru Place Market. They provide reliable and efficient data storage devices to
their customers. Five storage devices in which they deal are described below. Name the
storage device being described and also list the appropriate category of storage.
(a) Non-volatile memory chip: contents of the chip cannot be altered; it is often used to store the
start-up routines in a computer.
(b) Optical media which use blue laser technology to read and write data on the media surface.
(c) This allows read and write operations to be carried out at the same time.
(d) Non-volatile memory device which uses flash memories.
(e) Magnetic disc with very large storage capacity; can be used to store vast amounts of data;
mostly fixed in computer cases and serves as the main storage device.

m = int(math.__________(n)) #Line 3
k=0
for i in _________(2,m//2+1): #Line 4
if (m%i==0):
k=k+1
if (k == 0):
print(m,”Which is square root of ”,n,”is Prime number.”)
else:
print(m, “which is square root of ”,n, “is not Prime number.”)
(a) Name the module he should import in Line 1.
(b) Name the function he should use in Line 2 for input.
(c) Name the function to find the square root in Line 3.
