 SECTION C: 20 MARKS (10 MARKS EACH)

INSTRUCTION: Answer ANY TWO (2) questions from this section in your Answer Booklet.

QUESTION ONE (1) [10 MARKS]

The volume of a cylinder is the amount of space there is inside a cylinder. In order to find the volume of a cylinder
you first need to find the area of the circular area of the cross section and multiply it by the height.
a) Your task is to write a C++ program that computes the volume (v) of a cylinder given the following
formula:
𝑉 = 𝜋𝑟 2 ℎ

The program should output the value of the volume of the cylinder alongside the SI unit (cm3).
[8 MARKS]

b) What will be the output of the program, for the volume of this cylinder with radius of the base 7cm and
the perpendicular height 10cm. [2 MARKS]

QUESTION TWO (2) [10 MARKS]

New Life College gives fee discount to students for the 2022/2023 academic year based on the table below:

Payment Week Discount %

Before the 4th week 50%
Between the 4th and 6th week 25%
After the 6th week Nil

Develop a C++ program that takes the week a student pays fees and computes the discount due him or her. The
program should output the fee charged, the discount percent and the discount amount on separate lines with
appropriate descriptions. Assume the fee for the academic year is Ghc 4425.00.

QUESTION THREE (3) [10 MARKS]

Develop a C++ program to calculate a student’s grade average for one semester. The letter grades should be
entered and the grade average printed out. An A is equivalent to 4 grade points, a B is 3 grade points; a C is 2
grade points, a D is 1 grade point, and an F is zero grade points. Assume that there are 6 courses in a semester.
