SECTION B (60 Marks)
Attempt any four questions from this Section.
The answers in this Section should consist of the Programs in either Blue J environment or any
program environment with Java as the base.
Each program should be written using Variable descriptions/Mnemonic Codes so that the logic
of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-Charts and Algorithms are not required.

Question 4.
A private Cab service company provides service within the city at the following rates: [15]

AC CAR NON AC CAR
UPTO 5 KM ₹ 150 /- ₹ 120 /-
BEYOND 5 KM ₹ 10/-PER KM ₹ 08/- PER KM
Design a class CabService with the following description:

Member variables /data members:

String car_type - To store the type of car (AC or NON AC)

double km - To store the kilometer travelled

double bill - To calculate and store the bill amount

Member methods :

CabService() - Default constructor to initialize data members.

String data members to '' '' and double data

members to 0.0.

void accept () - To accept car_type and km (using Scanner class
only).

void calculate () - To calculate the bill as per the rules given above.

void display() - To display the bill as per the following format

CAR TYPE:

KILOMETER TRAVELLED:

TOTAL BILL:

Create an object of the class in the main method and invoke the member methods.

Question 5.

Write a program to search for an integer value input by the user in the sorted list given [15]
below using binary search technique. If found display ''Search Successful'' and print
the element, otherwise display ''Search Unsuccessful''

{31, 36, 45, 50, 60, 75, 86, 90}

Question 6.
Write a program to input a sentence and convert it into uppercase and display each [15]
word in a separate line.

Example: Input : India is my country

Output : INDIA

IS

MY

COUNTRY

Question 7.
Design a class to overload a method Number( ) as follows: [15]

(i) void Number (int num , int d) - To count and display the frequency of a
digit in a number.

Example:

num = 2565685

d=5

Frequency of digit 5 = 3

(ii) void Number (int n1) - To find and display the sum of even digits of
a number.

Example:

n1 = 29865

Sum of even digits = 16

Write a main method to create an object and invoke the above methods.

Question 8.

Write a menu driven program to perform the following operations as per user’s choice: [15]

(i) To print the value of c=a2+2ab, where a varies from 1.0 to 20.0 with increment
of 2.0 and b=3.0 is a constant.

(ii) To display the following pattern using for loop:

A
AB
ABC
ABCD
ABCDE

Display proper message for an invalid choice.

Question 9.

Write a program to input and store integer elements in a double dimensional array of [15]
size 3 x 3 and find the sum of elements in the left diagonal.

Example:

1 3 5

4 6 8

9 2 4

Output: Sum of the left diagonal elements = (1 + 6 +4) = 11
