Branching - Homework Programs

1. A set of two liner equations with two unknowns x1 and x2 are given below
ax1 + bx2 = m
cx1 + dx2 = n

The set has unique solutions as

md  bn na  mc
x1  x2 
ad  cb ad  cb

provided (ad-cb)  0

Write a program to read the values a, b, c, d, m and n and compute and print x1 and x2.

2. Write a program to read three sides of a triangle a, b, c. Check whether its area is higher
than perimeter. Print proper message.
area  s * ( s  a) * ( s  b) * ( s  c)

s  ( a  b  c) / 2

3. For a certain electrical circuit with an inductance L and resistance R, the damped natural
frequency is given by
1 R2
f  
LC 4C 2
Write a program to read C in F, L in mH and R in K and calculate frequency. Program should
print C, L, R and frequency.

4. Write a program to read an alphabet, check whether is it a vowel or not, print proper
message.
5. Write a program to read three integer values from the keyboard and check whether it
form a right-angled triangle or not. Program should print a proper message.

6. Write a program to read three numbers, if sum of these numbers is between (inclusive)
201 and 300 find its square root
301 and 400 find its cube root
>400 find its fourth root
Print all three numbers, sum and the result

7. Write two different programs that will read the value of x and evaluate the following function
using
(i) else if statement
(ii) conditional operator
| 1 for x > 0
sign = | 0 for x = 0
| -1 for x < 0

8. An electric company charges its consumers as follows

Consumption unit rate of charge
0-200 2.50 per unit
201-400 Rs 500 + 3.00 per unit for excess of 200
401-600 Rs 1100 + 3.50 per unit for excess of 400
