System.out.println(s1.concat(s2));
( h ) What does the following mean? [2]
Computer class = new Computer( );
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.
4. Write a program to computerize the billing operation of a
telephone of a telephone company .The bill has to be generated
based on the following conditions:
Number of calls Amount per call
First 50 calls free
Next 100 calls 50 P per call
Next 200 calls 80 P per call
Rest of the calls Rs 1.20 per call
A rent of Rs 120 is charged from every customer.A tax of 15% is
charged on the sum of charges and rent.The total amount is tax
added to the sum of charges and rent .Print the bill for a customer.
5. Write a program to using function called area() to output the area
of circle (p*r2), where p=3.14
( a ) square (side * side )
( b ) rectangle (length * breadth )
Display the menu to output the area as per User’s choice.
6. Define a class Teacher described as below
Data member :
Name:(name)
Address:(address)
Phone Number:(phno)
Highest Qualification:(qualification)
Subject Specialisation:(subject)
Monthly Salary (msalary)
Income Tax (IT)
Member Method :
1 Default constructor
2 Accept() To Accept the details of a teacher.
3 Display() To display the teacher’s detials
4 Increment() To increment the monthly salary by 5000
5 Compute() To compute the annual income tax as 5% of
the annual salary above Rs 150000
Write a main method to create object of a class and call the
above member method.
7. (a) Write a java program to print n terms of the fibonacci series as :
0,1,1,2,3,5,8……n terms
(b) Write a program to accept a number form user and check it is
prime or not.
[ Prime number is divisible by 1 and itself
e.g 3 it is divisible by 1 and 3
17 it is divisible by 1 and 17 ]
8. Write a program to accept 15 integer from the keyboard,
assuming that no integer entered is a zero. Enter a number from
keyboard and search in an array using Binary Search Technique.
If the number is present display ” 67 is found at 5 index number”
If the number is 67 and stored at 5 index number in an array.
Else display ” Number is not present in the array”.
9. Write a java program to input a string and print frequency of
each character of the string.
