TOPIC: Linear Programming

1. A dealer deals in two items only – item A and item B. He has₹ 50,000 to invest and a space to
store at most 60 items. An item A costs₹ 2,500 and an item B costs₹500. A net profit to him on
item A is₹ 500 and on item B₹150. If he can sell all the items that he purchases, how should
heinvest his amount to have maximum profit? Formulate an LPP and solve it graphically.

2. A manufacturing company makes two models A and B of a product. Each piece of model A
requires 9 hours of labour for fabricating and 1 hour for finishing. Each piece of model B requires 12
hours of labour for fabricating and 3 hours for finishing. The maximum number of labour hours,
available for fabricating and for finishing, are 180 and 30 respectively. The company makes a
profit of Rs 8000 and Rs 12000 on each piece of model A and model B respectively. How many
pieces of each model should be manufactured to get maximum profit? Also, find the maximum
profit.

Subject: Computer Science (C+ +)

1. Write an interactive C++ program to take two single dimensional arrays of integers and merge
them into a single dimensional array, excluding the common elements of both the arrays.
2. Write an interactive program in C++ language to create an application program which generates
the telephone bills. It stores various details of users Telephone Number, Name, Address, No. of
calls, local or STD/ISD call. Compute the amount to be paid if the charges per local call is Rs. 2/-
and for STD/ISD call is Rs. 5/-. It should have feature of searching the customer records using
the telephone number. The application should be designed user friendly.
3. Write an interactive C++ program using Structures to calculate the total and average of scores of
a selected student. The program should prompt the student to input the stu_id. This stu_id is
checked against the stu-ids’ and make sure it really exists. Calculate the total and average, if the
scores in assignemnt1 (out of 10 marks), assignment2 (out of 10 marks), mid-term score (out of
30 marks), and final score (out of 50 marks) are given.
4. Write an interactive C++ program to display a table that represents a Pascal triangle of any size.
Hint: In Pascal triangle, the first and the second rows are set to 1. Each element of the triangle
(from the third row downward) is the sum of the element directly above it and the element to the
left of the element directly above it. See the below given example Pascal Triangle of size=5:

by a blank, a tab, or a newline. Note that this definition for a word considers punctuation as part
of the word. This program should have features like cut, copy, paste, write and search. The
application should be designed user-friendly.
