157.    Prepare an interactive program to input the basic salary of 15 persons. Each one of them gets 25%of the basic as house rent allowance (HRA). 15% of basic as Conveyance allowance and 10% as entertainment allowance the total salary calculated by adding basic + HRA + conveyance and entertainment allowance Calculate how many out of  15 Got salary above Rs. 3000/= and also print the total salary of each person.

158.    The present population of a country is P and it increases by 5% every year. The population (P) after n years is given by a formula P=P* (1.05)ⁿ. WAP lo find the population every year, for the next 10 years.

l59.     Pooja cottage industries have 75 employees. WAP to input each employee's name, grade and basic pay. Wages are then calculated according to the grade. All percentages are on Basic Pay

Grade A: employee receives HRA is 30%, Medical is 20% and deducts Income tax 25% of basic.

Grad B: employee receives HRA is 25%, Medical is 15% and deducts Income tax 20%) of basic.

Grade C: employee receives HRA is 20%. Medical is 15% and deducts Income tax 10% of basic.

Total Salary is calculated as Basic + HRA i Medical    Income Tax

160.    WAP to calculate the fare for the passengers traveling on a computerized bus. As a passenger centers the bus the computer displays “what distance will you travel?” on entering the distance the fare is printed put according to the following table:

Distance	Fare
Upto I5KM	Rs. 5
Upto25KM	Rs. 10
Upto 25 KM	Rs. 15

The Computer keeps on adding and displaying the total fare after each passenger has entered. The program ends when the distance is entered as “( )” it than prints the total number of passenger who entered the bus and the total fare collected.

b)        Interest (I) for each year under the annual Interest scheme, using the formula I=.01 x P x r 

162.    The Production P crude oil of a country in millions of barrels may be estimated by the following set of equations, where t represents the time in years.

P= 5 + 3t, 0<=t<-3  

p= 14 +( t-5/2)² for t>3      

Write a program to find the quantity of production for every year from t = I to 10.

163.    The acceleration due to gravity as a function of altitude is given by:

g=32.17 (4390/(43 90+h))² if  h>0

g=32. 17(1 + (h/4390)) if h<=0

Where h is the height above the sea level in miles and g is the acceleration due to gravity in ft. per sec². WAP to print out the values of g where h range from -4 to 10.
