1. Calculate salary of an employee given his basic pay (taken as
input from user). Calculate the gross salary of the employee.
Let HRA be 10% of the basic pay and TA be 5% of the basic
pay. Let the employee pay professional tax as 2% of total
salary. Calculate the net salary payable after deductions.
2. To accept an object mass in kilograms and velocity in meters

above 40 in each course. If student scores aggregate greater
than 75%, then grade is distinction. If aggregate is 60>= and
<75 then the grade is first division. If aggregate is 50>= and
<60, then the grade is second division. If aggregate is 40>=
