Question 3 [15]
Define a class with the following specifications:-
Class Name:- Sales
Instance variables:-
String n – customer’s name
int qty – number of computers purchased
int years – number of years with the dealer
double bill – amount to be paid
Member methods:-
void input () – accept details for n, qty and years
void calculate () – find the bill amount based on the following criteria:
Number of computers purchased Price per computer
Less than 20 `35,000/-
20 to 39 `31,000/-
40 or more `29,000/-
A customer gets a further 10% discount on the bill, if he deals with the dealer for more than 5
years.
void display () – print the customer’s name, qty, years and bill.
Write a main() method to create an object and call the above member methods.
Question 4 [15]
Define a class to accept n number of words in a single dimensional array. Arrange the words
in reverse alphabetical order using bubble sort technique. Display the sorted array.

Question 5 [15]
Define a class to accept a number and check whether it is a super number or not. A number is
called super when the sum of its digit raised to the power of their respective positions is
equal to the number itself.

Example:

Input Number: 175

Output: Super Number

[11 + 72 + 53 = 1 + 49 + 125 = 175]

6
Question 6 [15]
Define a class to overload the method display () as follows:
double display (int a, int b, int c) – calculate and return the area of the scalene triangle

𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎 = √𝑠(𝑠 − 𝑎)(𝑠 − 𝑏)(𝑠 − 𝑐)

(𝑎+𝑏+𝑐)
Where 𝑠 =
2
void display (int n) – to display the following pattern for n rows using nested for loop.
For example if n is 3
A$A$
A$A$
A$A$
void display (String a, String b) – to display the first character of string a and the last
character of string b.

For example: a= "Graphics " and b= "Animation "

Output: First character of Graphics is G
Las character of Animation is n
Question 7 [15]
Define a class to accept a mobile number as string and check whether it is a valid mobile
number or not. Mobile number validation criteria are as follows:
The first digit should contain numbers between 7 and 9.
The rest 9 digits can contain any number between 0 and 9.
The mobile number can have 11 digits also including 0 at the starting.
The mobile number can be of 12 digits also by including 91 at the starting.
Example1:
Input String: 7873923408
Output: Valid Mobile Number
Example 2:
Input String: 5678729234
Output: Invalid Mobile Number
Input String: 07873923408
Output: Valid Mobile Number
7
Question 8 [15]
Define a class to accept values in 4x4 array and perform the following tasks:-
(1) Print the square of each element
(2) Find the sum of numbers that are divisible by 3
Example:
A[][]={{1,2,3,4},{5,6,7,8},{1,2,5,3},{8,2,4,6}};
Output:
Squares of each element:
1 4 9 16
25 36 49 64
1 4 25 9
64 4 16 36
Sum of numbers divisible by 3 = 18 (3+6+3+6) [from input array]
