Q. 2 Write a program to find the distance of the point (8, −2,4) from the plane 8𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 − 9 = 0.
The distance 𝑑 between a point (𝑥 ∗ , 𝑦 ∗ , 𝑧 ∗ ) and a plane 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐶𝑧 + 𝐷 = 0 is given by,
6
|𝐴𝑥 ∗ + 𝐵𝑦 ∗ + 𝐶𝑧 ∗ + 𝐷|
𝑑=
√𝐴2 + 𝐵2 + 𝐶 2

Q. 3 A palindrome is a number or a text phrase that reads the same backward as forward. For example,
each of the following five-digit integers is a palindrome: 12321, 55555, 45554 and 11611. Write a
program that reads in a five-digit integer and determines whether it is a palindrome. 5+2
Hint: Find the reverse of the given number, then compare the original number with its reverse. If
both are same then the number is palindrome.

Q. 4 An electric power supply company charges 7.74 Rupees per unit (KW/Hour) for the first 100 units
of electricity consumed and 10.06 Rupees per unit for the rest of the units (i.e., units after 100)
6
from the consumers. Write a program that asks the user to enter the number of units consumed
and finds the electricity charges for the consumed units.

Q. 5 Write a program that inputs a year and find whether it is leap year or not.
A leap year is the one which is evenly(exactly) divisible by 4. For example, 2016 is a leap year, 6
whereas 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019 are not leap years.

 PRACTICAL EXAMINATION
Paper: MATH 106 – Computer Programming with Python
Programme: BS (Mathematics)
Maximum Marks: 100 Time Allowed: 120 Minutes

Q1 (for all students): Write a Python script to compute the tax chargeable on the capital gain on selling an immovable
property. The tax rate on capital gains on sale of an immovable property is given below:

S. No. Amount of gain Rate

1 Where the gain does not exceed Rs. 5 million 3.5%
2 Where the gain exceeds Rs. 5 million but does not exceed Rs. 10 million 7.5%
3 Where the gain exceeds Rs. 10 million but does not exceed Rs. 15 million 10%
4 Where the gain exceeds Rs. 15 million 15%

Moreover, the amount of any gain arising on disposal of an immovable property is computed, for tax purposes, according
to the following formula:

S. Taxabl
Holding Period of Property
No. e Gain

1 Where the holding period of an immoveable property does not exceed one year 100%
2 Where the holding period of an immoveable property exceeds one year but does not exceed two years 75%
3 Where the holding period of an immoveable property exceeds two years but does not exceed three years 50%
4 Where the holding period of an immoveable property exceeds three years but does not exceed four years 25%
5 Where the holding period of an immoveable property exceeds four years 0%

To start, the program needs as input from the user: (1) holding period of the immovable property to be sold, (2) Original
purchase price, and (3) final selling price. Definitely then gain equals selling price minus purchase price. Find and print
the gain and the tax. Make a function to compute the gain tax.
Practically,
Purchase Price Selling Price Gain Holding years Gain Tax
2000000 3200000 1200000 3.5 21000
2000000 3200000 1200000 1.2 31500
2000000 3200000 1200000 0.5 42000
2000000 3200000 1200000 4.1 0

Q2 (for even roll numbers): Write a program to approximate the value of cosine of an angle by using the formula:
𝑛
𝑥2 𝑥4 𝑥6 𝑥8 𝑥 2𝑛 𝑥 2𝑘
cos 𝑥 = 1 − + − + − ⋯ + (−1)𝑛 = 1 + ∑(−1)𝑘
2! 4! 6! 8! 2𝑛! (2𝑛)!
𝑘=1

Here 𝑥 in radians. The program should ask an integer angle in degrees from 0 to 90.
The program should ask and find cosine values for an arbitrary number of degree values. (Not just one value of degree).

Note: Practically,
For number of terms: 7, Angle= 30 degrees. cos( 30 ) = 0.866026
For number of terms: 7, Angle= 45 degrees. cos( 45 ) = 0.707107
For number of terms: 7, Angle= 60 degrees. cos( 60 ) = 0. 500001

Q3 (for odd roll numbers): Write a program to approximate the value of 𝑒 𝑥 by using the formula:
𝑛
𝑥 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥4 𝑥𝑛 𝑥𝑛
𝑒𝑥 = 1 + + + + +⋯+ =1+∑
1! 2! 3! 4! 𝑛! 𝑛!
𝑖=1

The program should ask and find cosine values for an arbitrary number of degree values. (Not just one value of degree).
Note: Practically,
For number of terms: 8, x= 6. E power x = 341.8
For number of terms: 6, x= 4. E power x = 48.5556
