Default Length of 5 marks question in Computer Science PMS paper
Hi, all seniors out there, who have opted for Computer Science as an optional subject please guide me the length of 5 marks questions how much content should it cover? For example from a past paper 2020 there is a question to argue about Transitive dependency, do we need to write about all 3 types of normal form? Transitive dependency and 3NF as its solution? Please guide it will be my first attempt.
There are 4 parts in each question, which means a total of 20 marks, but each part is weighted as 5 marks. So it becomes a bit lengthy need to know the acceptable length. thank you

I think a simple definition of normal form then its types name only. After that you can explain transitive dependency like what it is, whay problem it causes, how can it be removed.

These things will easily carry to 2 sides of a page and if you write multiple removal methods then it can carry to 3 sides and that will be enough in my point of view.

Okay, Thank you. So basically it is enough to write answers on 2-3 sides of a page. If it's a simple program like write a code to print prime number or to find largest number using array, the answer must contain code, the output, and what else?

Nothing else, computer has this advantage over other subjects. You can write what requires and no irrelevant details needed.

If a program is needed then it depends on you, you can write program on 2 sides and same program can be written on 1 side because one program can be solved in multiple ways. So code, output will be fine and if there is a loop in your code then 2,3 iterations will be good as input/output.
