(xvii) Go through the following text, and choose the correct answer:
A reverse loop or backward loop is a loop where the value of the loop control variable (assume x) gets
decremented in every iteration. The lowest value of the loop control variable is mentioned in the loop
condition of backward loops.

(xix) Assertion (A): Fall through may occur in any branching statement.
Reason (R): The absence of break statement executes the next case block.

(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of
Assertion (A)
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of

System.out.print(Math.round(24.5) - Math.rint(24.5));
(a) 1 (b) 1.0 (c) 0 (d) 0.0

Question 2
Answer the following questions (working must be shown if required):
(i) What do you understand by initialisation statement in a loop ? [2]
(ii) Write a Java expression for the following mathematical expression: [2]
3 7
c = 𝑥 2 + √2𝑥

(iii) Convert the following for loop into its equivalent while loop: [2]

{
System.out.println(a);
if((a==5)

 (a) How many times will the loop get executed ?
(b) What will be the output ?

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
Write a menu-driven program using switch-case to perform the following tasks as per a choice entered by
the user: [15]
(i) To accept a number and check if it is a multiple of 7 or not
(ii) To accept a number and print the sum of its digits
(iii) To accept an integer and count the number of factors
Display an error message if the user enters an invalid choice.

Question 4
Write a program to input 10 integers and display the smallest 3-digit number among them. If any 3-digit
number is not entered, display the error message “No 3-digit number is found.” (nested loop must not be
applied here). [15]

Question 5
Write a program to print the first 15 terms of the Pell series. [15]

In Mathematics, the Pell numbers are an infinite sequence of integers. The sequence of Pell numbers starts
with 0 and 1, and then each Pell number is the sum of twice the previous Pell number and the number before
that.
The first few terms of the sequences are: 0, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70,…….
70 = 2 x 29 + 12; Hence, 70 is a Pell number.

Question 6
Write a program to print all 2-digit Harshad numbers. [15]

A ‘Harshad’ number is a natural number that is divisible by the sum of its digits.
Page 4 of 5
Example:
Take a number 48.
Sum of its digits = 4 + 8 = 12 and 48 is divisible by 12.
So, 48 is a Harshad number.

Question 7
Write a program to print the following pattern: [15]
7777777
6666661
5555512
4444123
3331234

Question 8
A courier service company namely ‘Joel Courier Service’ charges on the weight of the parcel to be shipped
as per the following criteria: [15]

Weight (kg) Rate per kg

Up to 2 kg ₹125.50

Next 3 kg ₹150

Next 5 kg ₹170.75

Next 10 kg ₹195.5

Above 20 kg ₹205

Write a program to accept the weight of the parcel to be delivered, calculate the amount to be paid and display
the bill in the following format:

JOEL COURIER SERVICE

Parcel weight: ******
Amount to be paid: *****
---THANK YOU---
