(xviii) Read the following text and choose the correct answer:
A method is a block of code or collection of statements or a set of code grouped together to
perform a certain task or operation. It is used to achieve the reusability of code. We write

SECTION - B
Attempt any four questions from this section.

QUESTION 3.
Define a class to declare an array of size 20 of double data type, accept the elements into the
array and perform the following: [15]
Calculate and print the sum of all the elements.
Calculate and print the highest value of the array.

QUESTION 4.
A magic number is a number in which the eventual sum of digits of the number is equal to 1.
e.g. 172 = 1 + 7 + 2 = 10 [15]
10 = 1 + 0 = 1
Then, 172 is a magic number.

QUESTION 8.
Given below is a table showing rates of Income Tax for male citizens below the age of 60 years :

Taxable Income (TI) in Income Tax in

Does not exceed 1,50,000 Nil
Is greater than 1,50,000 and less than or (TI – 1,50,000 )*8%
equal to 4,00,000
Is greater than 4,00,000 and less than or [(TI – 4,00,000)*15%] + 30,000
equal to 8,00,000
Is greater than 8,00,000 [(TI – 8,00,000)*25%] + 90,000

Write a program to input the age, gender (male or female) and Taxable Income of a person. If
the age is more than 60 years or the gender is female, display “wrong category”.
If the age is less than or equal to 60 years and the gender is male, compute and display the
Income Tax payable as per the table given above. [15]
