Q.2 Case Study
A MNC is providing commission and bonus to its employee. The commission and bonus are based on
different criteria. Mention the appropriate function against each condition and calculate:
(i) Commission of 10% to all the employees whose sales is less than 20,000
(ii) Commission of 15% to all the employees whose sales is less than 25,000 else 20% of the
sales.
(iii) A company declares a retirement bonus to its employees, whose age is either above 68
years or whose working experience is at least 30 years.
Calculate the bonus of the employees whose working experience is at least 3 years and
whose salary is greater than $15,000.
Q.3 Case Study
Evaluate the status of student based on their attendance and total marks, such that if attendance is
greater than 70 then mention “regular”, and if attendance is lesser then mention “not regular”.
Mark the students as pass or fail such that if total marks is greater than 50 than pass else fail.
Provide the grades to the marks obtained such that if marks is greater than equals 80 then grade
is “A”, if marks is greater than equals to 70 then grade is “B”, if marks is greater than equals to
60 then grade is “C”, if marks is greater than equals to 50 then grade is “D”, otherwise F.
Based on the grades write a function to find out the performance of the students such that, if total
marks is greater than equals to 80, and the grade obtained is “A”, then the performance is
“BRILLIANT”, if total marks is greater than equals to 70, and the grade obtained is “B”, then
the performance is “GOOD”, if total marks is greater than equals to 60, and the grade obtained
is “C”, then the performance is “OK”, if total marks is greater than equals to 50, and the grade
obtained is “D”, then the performance is “WORK HARD”,else “POOR”.

Quotation-A, Quotation-B, Quotation-C, Quotation-D, Quotation-E).
Your task is

2) Identify the Best price for each product by using proper function.
3) With the help of the proper function, on the basis of lowest price identify the vendor the
vendor.
