44. Zenab and Shashi independently write a program to find the mass of one mole of water, which includes mass of hydrogen and oxygen. Zenab defines the variables:

integer hydrogen, oxygen, water //code A

while Shashi defines the three quantities as:

integer a,b,c  //code B

Which is a better programming practice and why?

A.      Code B is better because variable names are shorter

B.      Code A is better because the variable names are understandable and non-confusing

C.      Code A will run correctly, while code B will give an error.

D.      Code B will run correctly, while code A will give an error.

Ans. B

46. Consider the following pseudo-code

Class rocket

{

Private

Integer height, weight

public:   //Statement 1

function input (int a, intb)

{

height =a;

weight =b;

}

}

function main()

{

Rocket rocket1, rocket2

}

Choose the correct answer. A pseudo-code which is similar to that of C+ and self-explanatory. An accessible member function or data member for object are accessed by the statement object name.function name or object name.data membername respectively.

A.      Rocket is a class with rocket1 and rocket2 as its objects. Height and weight are attributes of a rocket.

B.      Rocket is a class with rocket1 and rocket2 as its attributes. Height and weight are objects of the class rocket.

C.      Rocket is a class with rocket1, rocket2, height and weight as its attributes.

D.      Rocket is a class with rocket1, rocket2, height and weight as its objects.

Ans A

Ans. B

48. Saloni writes the code for a function that takes as input n, an even integer and calculates the sum of 1^st n natural numbers

function sum (n)

{

if(n equals 2)

return 2

else

return ( n+ sum( n-1))

}

She then calls the function by the statement, sum(30). How many times will the function sum be called to compute this sum? Choose the correct answer?
