SECTION B
Attempt any four questions from this section.

QUESTION 3.

Define a class with the following specifications

Class name Employee

Member variables
E. no. Employee number
E. name. Employee of the employee
Age. Age of the employee
Basic. Basic salary (Declare the variables using appropriate data types)
Member methods
Void accept () Accept the details using scanner class
Class name Employee
Void calculate () To calculate the net salary as per the given specifications
Net = basic + hra + da – pf
Hra = 18.5% of basic
Da = 17.45% of basic
Pf = 8.10% of basic
If the age of the employee is above 50 he/she gets an additional allowance of `5000

void update() To update the amount as per the coach selected.
Extra amount to be added in the amount as follows)
Type of Coaches Amount
First AC 700
Second_AC 500
Third AC 250
Sleeper None
void display() To display all details of a customer such as name, coach, total amount and mobile

Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.

QUESTION 8.

A disarium number is a number where the sum of its digits, each raised to the power of their respective positions,
equals the number itself.

e.g. 135 = 11 + 32 + 53

Hence, 135 is a disarium number.

Design a class Disarium to check, if a given number is disarium number or not.
