2) Write down the basic algorithm for solving the equation: xex−1=0 by bisection method, correct to 4 decimal places.

3) In a certain examination, a candidate has to appear for one major & two major subjects. The rules for declaration of results are marks for major are denoted by M1 and for minors by M2 and M3. If the candidate obtains 75% and above marks in each of the three subjects, the candidate is declared to have passed the examination in first class with distinction. If the candidate obtains 60% and above marks in each of the three subjects, the candidate is declared to have passed the examination in first class. If the candidate obtains 50% or above in major, 40% or above in each of the two minors and an average of 50% or above in all the three subjects put together, the candidate is declared to have passed the examination in second class. All those candidates, who have obtained 50% and above in major and 40% or above in minor, are declared to have passed the examination. If the candidate obtains less than 50% in major or less than 40% in anyone of the two minors, the candidate is declared to have failed in the examinations. Draw a flow chart to declare the results for the above.

4) Draw a flow chart for Lagrange’s interpolation formula.

5) Given 3×3 matrices

A=(aij), B=(bij). Draw programme outline, flow chart and also write a programme in BASIC to enable evaluation of F, given F=5∗(A+B)∗(A−B).

[2007, 30M]

6) Draw a programme outline and a flow chart and also write a programme in BASIC to enable solving the following system of 3 linear equations in 3 unknowns x1, x2 and x3: C∗X=D with C=(cij)3i,j=1, X=(xj)3j=1, D=(di)3i=1.

7) In a certain exam, candidates have to take 2 papers under part A and 2 papers under part B. A candidate has to obtain minimum of 40% in each paper under part A, with an average of 50%, together with a minimum of 35% in each paper under part B, with an aveage of 40. For a complete PASS, an overall minimum of 50% is required. Write a BASIC program to declare the result of 100 candidates.

8) Write a BASIC program for solving the differential equation:

to get y(x), for 0.2≤x≤5 at an equal interval of 0.2, by Runge-Kutta fourth order method.

[2004, 15M]

9) Draw a flow chart and also write a program in BASIC to find one real root of the non linear equation x=ϕ(x) by the fixed point iteration method. Illustrate it to find one real root, correct up to four places of decimals, of x3−2x−5=0.

[2005, 30M]

10) A teacher conducts three tests TEST 1, TEST 2 and FINAL for 50 marks each. Out of the marks scored in the two tests, TEST 1 and TEST 2, he takes the better one and adds to the marks scored in FINAL, so that the total marks scored will be for a maximum 100.

The letter grades will be assigned depending on the amrks scored as per the following norm:

0-39: E
40-49: D
50-59: C 60-74: B 70-100: A

For each student data consisting of name, scores in TEST 1, TEST 2 and FINAL are given. Write a program in BASIC which will print out the names, total marks scored and grade obtained for all 20 students in a class.

[2002, 20M]

11) Draw a flow chart to examine whether a given number is a prime.

[2002, 10M]

12) Write a computer program in BASIC to evaluate the polynomial

for values of x=1.2 (0.2) 2.0.

[2001, 15M]

13) In an examination students are awarded letter grades according to the following scheme:

|   Score Range          |  Letter Grade |
|:------------------------|:-------------|  
|     Score$\geq$90    |       A       |
| $80\geq$Score$<$90 |       B       |
|$70\geq$Score$<$80  |       C       |
|$60\geq$Score$<$70  |       D       |
|     Score$<$60       |       F       |

For each score print a message identifying the letter grade. For grade F an additional message ‘This is a falling case’ may be mentioned. Prepare the flowchart for this scheme and write the program in BASIC.
