Answer ALL Questions
1. Explain the various types of operating systems briefly.
2. Write an algorithm for counting the sum of digits of a given number.
3. What is an operator? Mention the types of operators used in C.
4. A worker is paid at an hourly rate of Rs.45 for the first 36 hours of work. Thereafter
overtime is paid at 1.5 times of rate for every one hour of overtime work. Write a C
program to compute the net wage to be paid to a worker, taking the total number of
hours worked as input.

8. Suppose a machine shop has three machines M1, M2, M3 producing the same product.
Everyday, a sample of components produced by each machine is subjected to
inspection to find out the number of defectives in the sample. It is required to send
weekly inspection report for each machine to the management. The relevant
information can be stored in the following form:
Machine name : Machine_1
Week day : 1 2 3 4 5 6
Inspected Components : 65 62 68 72 66 70
Defective Components : 3 0 1 2 0 1
Write the structure definition for storing the above information.

b) Write a C program to convert a decimal number in to binary. [5]
10. a) Describe the structure of C program.
b) In an academic institution, grades have to be printed for students who appeared in
the final exam. The criteria for allocating the grades against the percentage of total
marks obtained as follows:
Marks Grade Marks Grade
91 - 100 O 61 - 70 B
81 - 90 E 51 - 60 C
71 - 80 A <=50 F
The percentage of total marks obtained by each student in the final exam is to be given
as input to get a printout of the grade the student is awarded. Write a C program for the
above.

11. a) Write a C program to read N integers (zero, +ve, -ve) into an array a and to find sum
of ve numbers, sum of +ve numbers and average of all input numbers.
b) Write a C program to convert lowercase alphabets into uppercase alphabets in a
given string and vice versa.

13. Explain the pointer concept and storage classes in C.
14. Write a C program to search for a required element in a given unsorted array using
functions.

15. Define a student structure having the name, register number, marks in five subjects,
total and percentage of marks as its members. Marks of all the subjects are to be stored
in an array, say marks. Develop a C program to list the names of all the students who
have failed.
[A student is declared as failed if he/she has scored less than 40 in any of the subjects
and less than 45% in aggregate]
