SECTION – B (60 marks)

Attempt any four Questions. Each program should be written using Variable Descriptions/Mnemonic Codes
such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and Algorithms are not required

Question 5
Define a class named ShowRoom with the following description: [15]
Instance variables/data members:
String name : stores the name of the customer
long mobno : stores the mobile number of the customer
double cost : stores the cost of the items purchased
double dis : stores the discount amount
double amount : stores the amount to be paid after discount

Member Methods:
ShowRoom() : default constructor to initialize data members
void input() : to input customer name, mobile number, cost
void calculate() : to calculate discount on the cost of purchased items, based on following criteria

Cost Discount (in percentage)

Less than or equal to Rs. 10000 5%
More than Rs. 10000 and less than or equal to Rs. 20000 10%
More than Rs. 20000 and less than or equal to Rs. 35000 15%
More than Rs. 35000 20%

void display() : to display the customer name, mobile number, amount to be paid after discount

Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.

Question 6
Write a program to input twenty names in an array. Arrange these names in descending order of alphabets using
the bubble sort technique. [15]

Question 7
Design a class to overload a function volume() as follows: [15]

i) double volume(double R) : with radius (R) as an argument, returns the

volume of sphere using the formula.
V = 4/3 * 22/7 * R3
Page 2 of 3
ii) double volume(double H, double R) : with height(H) and radius(R) as the
arguments, returns the volume of a cylinder
using the formula.
V = 22/7 * R2 * H
iii) double volume(double L, double B, double H) : with length(L), breadth(B) and height(H) as
the arguments, returns the volume of a
cuboid using the formula.
V = L*B*H

Question 8
Using switch statement, write a menu driven program for the following: [15]
i) to find and display the sum of the series given below:
𝑆 = 𝑥1 − 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 3 − 𝑥 4 + 𝑥 5 … … … … … − 𝑥 20
ii) to display the following series:
1 11 111 1111 11111
For an incorrect option, an appropriate error message should be displayed.

Question 9
Write a program to input and store roll numbers, names and marks in 3 subjects of n number students in five
single dimensional array and display the remark based on average marks as given below. (the maximum marks
in the subject are 100). [15]

𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠 =
3
Question 10
Using the switch statement, write a menu driven program to: [15]
i) To find and display all the factors of a number input by the user (including 1 and excluding the
number itself).
Example:
Sample Input: n = 15
Sample Output: 1, 3, 5

ii) To find and display the factorial of a number input by the user (the factorial of a non-negative
integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all integers less than or equal to n.
Example:
Sample Input: n=5
Sample Output: 5! = 1*2*3*4*5 = 120

For an incorrect choice, an appropriate error message should be displayed.
