Question 3: [5 + 10] M
a) Develop a grade processing system for a class of students. The program should read the marks of each
student, calculate the average and determine the highest and lowest marks using loops and conditional
statements.
b) An electronics shop has announced the following seasonal discounts on the purchase of certain items.
Purchase Amount in Rs. Discount on Laptop Discount on Desktop PC
0 – 25000 0.0 % 5.0 %
25001 – 57000 5.0 % 7.6 %
57001 – 100000 7.5 % 10.0 %
More than 100000 10.0 % 15.0 %
Define a class based on the above criteria to input name, address, amount of purchase and type of
purchase (L for Laptop and D for Desktop) by a customer. Compute and print the net amount to be paid by
a customer along with his name and address.
(Hint: discount = (discount rate/100) * amount of purchase
Net amount = amount of purchase – discount)
Question 4: [10 + 5] M
a) Define a class to accept a number and check and display whether it is a spy number of not.
(A number is spy if the sum of its digits equals the product of its digits.)
Example: consider the number 1124,
Sum of the digits = 1 + 1 + 2 +4 =8
Product of the digits = 1 × 1 × 2 × 4 =8
b) Print the following pattern:
@
@ #
@ # @
@ # @ #
@ # @ # @
Question 5: [7 + 8] M
a) Write a program to input the three sides of a triangle and find the perimeter and area of the triangle.
If a, b and c are the 3 sides then,
Perimeter = a + b + c
a+b+c
𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐) where 𝑠 =
2
b) Using a switch statement, write a menu driven program to convert a given temperature form Fahrenheit
to Celsius and vice versa. For an incorrect choice, an appropriate error message should be displayed.
5
(HINT: 𝐶 = × ( 𝐹 − 32) and F = 1.8 × C +32s).
4

Question 6: [7 + 8] M
a) Define a class to accept a number and check if the sum of the first digit and the last digit is an even
number or an odd number.
Example: N = 2396
First digit: 2, Last digit: 6 Sum=2+6=8 Sum is even

 b) Write a program to check the entered number is Deficient number or not.
(If sum of all factors is less than original number then it is Deficient number)
Question 7: [8 + 7] M
a) Write a java program to print the series given below:
1 1 1
𝐒 = 1+ + + + −−−−−
2 3 4
b) Write a program to print the pattern given below.
1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5 5
Question 8: [ 15 ] M
Design a class RailwayTicket with following description:
Instance variables/data members:
String name: To store the name of the customer
String coach: To store the type of coach customer wants to travel
long mobno: To store customer’s mobile number
int amt: To store basic amount of ticket
int totalamt: To store the amount to be paid after updating the original amount
Write a main method with the above given variables and update the total amount will be updated as
follows:
Type of Coaches Amount
First_AC - 700
Second_AC - 500
Third_AC - 250
Sleeper - None.
