 Section B
(Answer any four questions from this Section.)
The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any
program environment with java as the base.
Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so that the log-
ic of theprogram is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and algorithms are not required.

Question 3 [15]
Define a class Anagram to accept two words from the user and check whether they are
anagram of each other or not.
[An anagram of a word is another word that contains the same characters, only the order of
characters is different.]
For example, NOTE and TONE are anagram of each other.

Question 4 [15]
Write a program to accept 10 names (in alphabetical order A-Z) and their corresponding
telephone numbers in two different arrays.
Accept in the name of a person and display telephone no of the corresponding person using
binary search.

Question 5 [15]
Define a class to accept values into a 3x3 array and check if it is a Losho grid or not.
A grid is a Losho grid if the sum of each row and column equals 15.
Print appropriate messages.
Example: 4 9 2
357
816

Question 6 [15]
Define a class PhoneBill with the following descriptions:
Data members:
customerName : to store the name of the customer
phoneNo : to store the mobile number of the customer
no_of_unit : to store number of calls made
rent : to store monthly rent
amount : to store amount to be paid.

Member Methods:
PhoneBill() : to initialize with default value to each data member.

accept() : to accept customer name, phone number, number of units and rent.

calculate() : to calculate the amount as rent + cost for the units,

where cost for the units is to be calculated according to the following conditions:
First 50 calls : Free
Next 100 calls : Rs. 0.80/unit
Next 200 calls : Rs. 1.00/unit
Remaining calls : Rs. 1.20/unit

display() : to display the values of all the data members on the screen
main() : Create an object and invoke the above methods.

Question 7 [15]
Define a class to overload the method display() as follows
void display() :to print the following pattern using nested loop
12121
12121
12121
12121
void display(int n) -To display the sum of the series given below:
𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒

Question 8 [15]
Accept a number and check whether it is a Strontio number or not. Strontio numbers are those 4
digit numbers which when multiplied by 2 give the same digit at the hundreds and tens place.
