(xviii) Read the following text and choose the correct answer:
Consisting of a block of code or a collection of statements, a method is designed to perform a specific task or
operation. It promotes code reusability by allowing the same method to be written once and used multiple

(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion
(A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.

SECTION B
Attempt any four questions from this section.

QUESTION 3.

Define a class that declares an array of size 20 with double data type, accepts input for the array elements, and
performs the following tasks:

Calculate and print the sum of all the elements.

Calculate and print the highest value in the array.

QUESTION 4.

A magic number is a number where the repeated sum of its digits eventually equals 1.

e.g. 172 = 1 + 7 + 2 = 10

10 = 1 + 0 = 1

Then, 172 is a magic number.

Design a class Magic to determine whether a given number is a magic number.

QUESTION 5.

Define a class Swap that takes two input strings and swaps their values.
Example:
Input:
Enter First String: Hello

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 equal to 4,00,000 (TI – 1,50,000 )*8%
Is greater than 4,00,000 and less than or equal to 8,00,000 [(TI – 4,00,000)*15%] + 30,000
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.
