Question 2
Answer the following questions (working must be shown if required):
(i) Differentiate between procedure oriented programming and object oriented programming. [2]
(ii) Mention the role of JVM in Java program execution. [2]
(iii) Write the syntax of conditional assignment operator. [2]
(iv) Evaluate the following expression when a = 2: [2]
a++ + – – a * a – – + a;
(v) Why is an object known as an instance of a class ? [2]
(vi) Write a Java statement to create an object namely ‘smartphone’ from the class ‘Electronic’. [2]
(vii) State the purpose of nextLong() method. [2]
(viii) Mention the difference between 3.0 and 3. [2]
(ix) What do you understand by Logical expression ? Give an example: [2]
(x) Determine the value of variable ‘x’ and ‘y’ from the following code snippet. [2]
char ch = ‘b’;
int x = ch + 10;
char y = (char) x;
SECTION B (60 Marks)
(Answer any four questions from this Section.)
The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any
program environment with Java as the base.
Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so that the logic of the
program is clearly depicted.
Flow-charts and algorithms are not required.
Question 3
(i) Design a class to input the side of a square field using function argument input method. Find and
display the distance travelled by a person if he takes 8 rounds of field. [7]

(ii) Design a class to accept the marks of a student in seven different subjects in integer form using
Scanner class input method and compute the total marks as well as the percentage of marks of that
student. Display both the results in separate lines (assume the maximum marks as 20 in individual
subjects). [8]
Question 4
(i) Design a class to input a 3-digit positive integer using function argument input method. Now calculate
and print the arithmetic mean of first and last digit of that number. [7]
(ii) Mr. Banerjee purchased a product at a successive discount of 30% and 40%. Design a class to input
the marked price of the product using Scanner class input method and calculate the purchased
amount. Print the result with a proper message. [8]
Question 5
(i) Design a class to accept two fractional numbers using function argument input method. Now calculate
the difference of their integer parts and display the result with a proper message. [7]
(ii) Design a class to accept a 4-digit positive integer using Scanner class input method and find the
reverse of that number. Display the result with an appropriate message. [8]
Question 6
(i) Design a class to accept the ASCII value of two different characters using function argument input
method. Now calculate and print the character with the highest ASCII value with a proper message.
[7]
(ii) Design a class to input two numbers using Scanner class input method and check whether the first
number is even or odd and the second number is divisible by 5 or not (Hint: Use conditional
assignment operator). [8]
Question 7
(i) Design a class to input a number of days (more than 500) using function argument input method,
convert it and display the result in form of years, months and remaining days. [7]
Example:
Input: 796 days
Output: 2 years 2 months 6 days
(ii) Design a class to input details of a product as product code, quantity and price of the product using
Scanner class input method. Calculate the total cost, 20.5% discount on total cost and net price to be
paid after the discount. Finally print all the details related to the product. [8]

Question 8
(i) Design a class to accept two characters using function argument input method and swap those two
characters by using a third variable. Display those two characters before and after the swapping with
proper messages. [7]
(ii) Design a class to input employee code number and monthly basic pay of an employee belongs to a
company using Scanner class input method. Now calculate the following: [8]
(a) Dearness Allowance (DA) as 65% of monthly basic pay
(b) House Rent Allowance (HRA) as 20% of monthly basic pay
(c) Provident Fund (PF) as 8.33% of monthly basic pay
(d) Gross Salary as Basic Pay + DA + HRA
(e) Net Salary as Gross Salary – PF
Print all the information in separate lines with proper messages.
