12. Mr. X wants to create a mobile recharge platform Y.com where customers can recharge
their number online within minutes. Customers have to give their mobile number
and the service provider name (Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Tata Indicom, Reliance,

Part – C (1×15=15 Marks)

16. a) A petrol station is to be set up for fully automated operation. Drivers swipe
their credit card through a reader connected to the pump, the card is verified by
communication with a credit company computer, and a fuel limit is established.
The driver may then take the fuel required. When fuel delivery is complete
and the pump hose is returned to its holster, the driver’s credit card account is
debited with the cost of the fuel taken when user enters the pin. The credit card
is returned after debiting. If the card is invalid, the pump returns it before fuel
is dispensed. The credit card will be charged a commission of 2% if the amount
is below Rs. 500.

business and software requirements of the problem.
ii) Draw an appropriate UML diagram to represent the activities of an end
user.
(OR)

updation. It has provision to Search for tickets and set Priorities for Tickets
(higher-1,2,3) . The customers can view the ticket details. Employee can be an
admin or developer. A ticket is assigned to developer by higher authorities or
by themselves. Developers upload patch files or any other required files after
solving the issue and update the ticket status. Administrator maintain activities
for tickets to provide comments and history, Developer can update comments
and work log and export a ticket in different formats like doc and pdf.
i) Assuming yourself as a requirement analyst (Business analyst), identify the
business and software requirements of the problem.
