SECTION C

Que: Ramesh’s basic salary is input through the keyboard. His dearness allowance is
40% of basic salary, and house rent allowance is 20% of basic salary. Write a program
to calculate his gross salary.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int sal;
float gros_sal;
printf("Enter the basic salary of Ramesh : ");
scanf("%d", &sal);

//salary calculated
gros_sal=sal+(sal*40/100)+(sal*20/100);

printf("%f is the gross salary of Ramesh.", gros_sal);

Que: The distance between two cities (in km.) is input through the keyboard. Write a
program to convert and print this distance in meters, feet, inches and centimeters.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
float dis;

printf("Enter the distance between cities in kilo metres

: ");
scanf("%f", &dis);
 printf("\n%f is the distance between them in meters.",
dis*1000);
printf("\n%f is the distance between them in feet.",
dis*3280.8399);

dis*39370.0788);
printf("\n%f is the distnace between them in
centimeters", dis*100000);

}

Que: If the marks obtained by a student in five different subjects are input through the
keyboard, find out the aggregate marks and percentage marks obtained by the student.
Assume that the maximum marks that can be obtained by a student in each subject is
100.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
float a,b,c,d,e;

printf("Enter the marks out of 100 in five subjects of

the student : ");
scanf("%f%f%f%f%f", &a,&b,&c,&d,&e);

//his total marks

printf("\n%f is the aggregate marks obtained by him.",
a+b+c+d+e);

//his percentage marks

printf("\n%f is the percentage marks obtained by him.",
(a+b+c+d+e)/5);

getch();
return 0;
}
Que: Temperature of a city in Fahrenheit degrees is input through the keyboard. Write
a program to convert this temperature into Centigrade degrees.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
float f,c;
printf("Enter the temperature in Fahrenheit : ");
scanf("%f", &f);

//conversion of temperature
c=(f-32)*100/180;

printf("\n%f is that temperature in celcius.", c);

getch();
return 0;
}

Que: The length & breadth of a rectangle and radius of a circle are input through the
keyboard. Write a program to calculate the area & perimeter of the rectangle, and the
area & circumference of the circle.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
float l,b,r;

printf("Enter the length and breadth of the rectangle :

");
scanf("%f%f", &l,&b);

//rectangle calculations
printf("\n%f is the area of the rectangle.", l*b);
printf("\n%f is the perimeter of the rectangle.", l+b);

//circle calculations
printf("\n\nEnter the radius of the circle : ");
scanf("%f", &r);
printf("\n%f is the area of the circle.", 3.14*r*r);
printf("\n%f is the perimeter of the circle.",
2*3.14*r);

getch();
return 0;
}
Que: If the total selling price of 15 items and the total profit earned on them is input
through the keyboard, write a program to find the cost price of one item.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
int sp,prof;

printf("Enter the total selling price of the 15 items :

");
scanf("%d", &sp );//selling price

printf("\nEnter the total profit on these items : ");

scanf("%d", &prof );//profit

printf("\nCost price of a single item is %d.", (sp-

prof)/15);

Que: Paper of size A0 has dimensions 1189 mm x 841 mm. Each subsequent size A(n) is
defined as A(n-1) cut in half parallel to its shorter sides. Write a program to calculate
and print paper sizes A0, A1, A2, ...A8.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
