SECTION B (60 Marks)
(Answer any four questions from this Section.)
The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ
environment or any program environment with Java as the base.
Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so
that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Each Program carries 15 marks
Question 3:
Design a class Hotel with the following description:
Member variables:
String name – to store the name of the customer
long mno – to store the mobile number of the customer
double bill – to store the bill amount
double gst – to store GST amount
double st – to store the service tax
double tamt – to store the total amount to be paid by the customer
Member methods:
Hotel() – default constructor to initialize the data members.
void accept() – to accept customer’s name, mobile number, GST, service tax and
amount.
void calculate() – to calculate GST, service tax and total amount to be paid by
the customer.
gst = 18% on bill
st = 12.5% on bill
tamt = bill +gst +st
void display() – to display the customer’s name, mobile number and bill amount.
Write a main method to create an object and invoke the above member
methods.
Question 4:
Write a program to input a double dimension array 4 * 4 and print the sum of
left diagonal and right diagonal
Eg Input 2 3 6 9
5 8 2 1
4 7 5 2
6 3 2 1
Output :Sum of right diagonal (9+2+7+6 ) =24
Sum of left diagonal ( 2+8+5+1) = 16
Question 5:
Define a class to accept a four-digit number and check if it is a USHWA number
or not.
The number is said to be USHWA Accept a four digit number .
If: Sum of all digits= 2× ( sum of first and last)
Example 1: n =1234 Sum of first and last = 1+4=5
Sum of all digits =1+2+3+4=10
Example 2 If the input value is 354, then a error message should be given as
the number has only 3 digits.
Question 6:
A student appearing for the ICSE/ISC examination will be given an index number,
which is of the following format:
Number of 7 digits/number of 3 digits. The first digit represents ICSE(1) or
ISC(2), the next two digits represent the year, the next four digits represent
the centre number, the last 3 digits represent the index number.
Example: 1244311/204
Output Class: 10
Year: 24
Centre number: 4311
Index number: 204
Example : 2259856/107
Output Class: 12
Year: 25
Centre number: 9856
Index number:107
Define a class to accept the student index number as a String and print his/her
details as above.
Question 7:
Define a class Linear to declare an array to accept 20 names in Names[ ], also declare
an array Aadhar[ ] to accept and store respective Aadhar card numbers in it.
Now accept an Aadhar number AadharNum and search it in the given array using
linear search technique. If found display the name that is paired with the Aadhar
number. If not found display “Record does not exist”.
Question 8
Design a class to overload a method Print as follows
void print()
to print the following patter
1
1 3
1 3 5
1 3 5 7
1 3 57 9
void print(String s)
to accept a string and print the first and last character of the string
eg Input Studying
Output First Character S
last Character g
void print(int a,char y)
to print the square root of the number a if char is ‘g’ or ‘G’
to print the cube root of the number a if char is ‘x’ or ‘X’
