SECTION B (60 MARKS)

(Attempt any four questions)
Question 4 (15)
According to the census of India 2001 following is the rounded off percentage of the urban
population in 10 states of India.
Sr. No State Percentage of Urban Population
1. Jammu Kashmir 25
2. Himachal Pradesh 10
3. Punjab 34
4. Haryana 29
5. Delhi 93
6. Uttar Pradesh 21
7. Bihar 10
8. Madhya Pradesh 27
9. Maharashtra 42
10. Tamil Nadu 44
Write a Java program to sort the above list in Ascending Order according to the percentage of
the Urban population using Selection Sort technique.
Question 5 (15)
Design a Java class to calculate the tax according to the description given below:
ClassName-taxpayer
Data Members:
int pan-to store personal account number
String name-to store the name of the person
float tax-to store tax that is calculated
Member Functions:
taxpayer ()-to initialize the data members
void input ()-to input the data for a tax payer
void displaydata()-to display the data
void computetax()-to compute tax for a tax payer

The tax is calculated according to the following rules:

TAXABLE INCOME RATE OF TAXATION
Upto 60,000 0%
Any amount above 60,000 but upto 5%
150,000
Any amount above 150,000 but upto 10%
500,000
Any amount above 500,000 15%

In the main method create an object of the class. Calculate the tax and output it in the
following format:
PAN NO TAXPAYER TAXABLE INCOME TAX PAYABLE

Question 6 (15)
Write a Java program to create overload function compute () to calculate and display the sum
of the following series, depending on the User’s choice:
i) S=1^2+2^2+3^2…. +n^2
ii) S=1! +2! +3! +…+ n!

Question 7 (15)
You can encode or decode a string in many ways. One of the simplest ways to replace each letter
by a letter at affixed distance ahead or behind in the alphabet, where the alphabet is assumed to
wrap around (i.e.; ‘A’ follows ‘Z’). e.g.; given string: “COMPUTER” and encode=3, means each
character moves three characters ahead. Thus, new string: FRPSXWHU
Write a program in Java to accept a string and display the new string after encoding=2, means
each character moves two characters ahead.
Sample Input: ZEOLOGY
Sample Output: BGQNQIA
Question 8 (15)
Write a program in Java to accept a number and check whether it is a Duck number or not. A
Duck number is a number which has zeroes present in it, but there should be no zero present in
the beginning of the number. For example, 3210, 7056, 76873609 are all duck numbers
whereas 087652, 091234 are not.

Question 9 (15)
Write a program to accept a string and display on those characters which are consecutives.
Sample Input: UNDERSTANDING COMPUTER PPLICATIONS
Sample Output: D, E
R, S
S, T are consecutive characters
