SECTION B (60 Marks)
Attempt any four questions from this Section. The answers in this Section should consist of the Program in BlueJ environment with Java. Each program should be written in using Variable descriptions/Mnemonic Codes such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted. Flow charts and Algorithms are not required.
Question 4.
Write a program to perform binary search on a list of integers given below,to search for an element input by the user ,if it is found display the element along with its position,otherwise display the message”Search element not found’
5,7,9,11,15,20,30,45,89,97
}
}
Question 5.
Define a class student described as below;
Data members/instance variables:
name,age,m1,m2,m3(marks in 3 subjects),maximum ,average
Member methods:
(i)A parameterised constructor to initialise the data members
(ii)To accept the details of a student
(iii)To compute the average and the maximum out of three marks
(iv)To display the name,age,marks in 3 subjects,maximum and avarage
Write a main method to create an object of a class and call the above member methods
}
}
Question 6.
Shasha Travels Pvt Ltd. gives the following discount to its customers:
Ticket amount Discount
Above RS.7000 18%
Rs 55001 to Rs 70000 16%
Rs 35001 to Rs 55000 12%
Rs. 25001 to Rs 35000 10%
less than 25001 2%
Write a program to input the name and ticket amount for the customer and calculate the discount amount to be paid.Display the output in the following format for each customer
Sl.No. Name Ticket Charges Discount Net amount
1
(Assumer that there are 15 customers ,first customer ia given the Sl.No. 1,next customer 2……and so on)
}
}
Question 7.
Write a menu driven program to accept a number and check and display whether it is a prime number or not Or an automorphic number or not.(use switch case statement)
a)prime number :a number is said to be prime if it is divisible only by 1 and itself and not by any other number.examples:3,5,7,11,13,etc
b)Automorphic number :An automorphic number is a number which is contained in the last digits of the square.
example 25is an automorphic number as its square is 625 and 25 is present as the last two digits.
}
}
Question 8.
