SECTION B (60 Marks)
Attempt any four questions from this Section.

The answer in the Section should consist of the Program in BlueJ environment with Java. Each program
should be written using Variable descriptions/Mnemonic Codes such that the logic of the program is
clearly depicted.
Flow charts and Algorithms are not required

Question 3: [15]

Write a menu-driven program using switch-case to perform the following tasks as per a choice entered by
the user:

a) To accept a number and check if it is a multiple of 7 or not.

b) To accept a number and print the sum of its digits
c) To accept an integer and count the number of factors Display an error message if the user enters an
invalid choice.

Question 4: [15]
Write a program to print the first 15 terms of the Pell series.
In Mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers. The sequence of Pell numbers starts
with 0 and 1, and then each Pell number is the sum of twice the previous Pell number and the number before
that.
The first few terms of the sequences are: 0, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, …….
70 = 2 x 29 + 12; Hence, 70 is a Pell number.

(a) series(int a, int n) — To display the sum of the series given below:
a + (a2/2) + (a3/3) +(a4/4) + …… n terms
(b) series(int n) — To display the sum of the series given below:
1/2 - 2/3 + 3/4 - 4/5 + …… n terms

Question 6:
[15]
A courier service company namely ‘Joel Courier Service’ charges on the weight of the parcel to be shipped

JOEL COURIER SERVICE

Name of the customer Parcel weight Amount to be paid
********* ****** ******

Question 7 : [15]

1
27
3 8 12

Question 8: [15]

An electronics shop has announced the following seasonal discounts on the purchase of certain items
Purchase Amount in ₹ Discount on Laptop Discount on desktop
0–25000 0.0% 5.0%
25001 – 57000 5.0% 7.5%
57001 – 100000 7.5% 10.0%
More than 100000 10.0% 15.0%

Write a program based on the above criteria, to input name, address, amount of purchase and the type of
purchase (L for Laptop and D for Desktop) by a customer. Compute and print the net amount to be paid
by a customer along with his name and address.

(Hint: discount = (discount rate/100)* amount of purchase

Net amount = amount of purchase – discount).
