SECTION – B
(Answer any four questions from this section)
Question – 3: [15]
Write a program to accept name and total marks of N number of students in two single subscript arrays
name[ ] and totalmarks[ ].
Calculate and print:
(i) The average of the total marks obtained by N number of students.
[average = (sum of total marks of all the students)/N]

[deviation = total marks of a student - average]
Question – 4: [15]
Special words are those words which start and end with the same letter.
Example: EXISTENCE, COMIC, WINDOW
Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice-versa.
Example: MALYALAM, MADAM, LEVEL, ROTATOR, CIVIC
All palindromes are special words but all special words are not palindromes.
Write a program to accept a word. Check and display whether the word is a palindrome or only a
special word or none of them.
Question – 5: [15]
Design a class to overload a method volume( ) as follows:
double volume(double r) — with radius (r) as an argument, returns the volume of sphere using the
formula:
V = (4/3) * (22/7) * r * r * r
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) * r * r * h
double volume(double 1, double b, double h) — with length(l), breadth(b) and height(h) as the
V = l*b*h ⇒ (length * breadth * height)
arguments, returns the volume of a cuboid using the formula:
Question – 6: [15]

Class name : ParkingLot
Instance variables/Data members:
int vno :To store the vehicle number
int hours :To store the number of hours the vehicle is parked in the parking lot
double bill : To store the bill amount
Member Methods

Question – 7: [15]
Define a class called BookFair with the following description:
Instance variables/data members:
String Bname :stores the name of the book
double price :stores the price of the book
Member Methods:

(ii) void input( ) :To input and store the name and price of the book
(iii) void calculate( ) :To calculate the price after discount. Discount is calculated based on the
following criteria
Price Discount
Less than or equal to Rs 1000 2% of price
More than Rs1000 and less than
or equal to Rs 3000 10% of price
More than Rs 3000 15% of price
(iv) void display( ) :To display the name and price of the book after discount
Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.
Question – 8: [15]
Write a program to input a number and check and print whether it is a Pronic number or not. [Pronic
number is the number which is the product of two consecutive integers.]
Examples:
12 = 3 * 4
20 = 4 * 5
42 = 6 * 7 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
