statement associated in
its body is called as an infinite loop.

a.Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a
correct
explanation of Assertion (A)
b. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is not a
correct explanation of Assertion(A)

xix. Read the following text and choose the correct answer

Aconstructor is a special member function used to initialise the data

members whenever an object is created for the class. The different types of
Constructors are
Default constructor
Parameterised constructor
How do we invoke a constructor in the program?

a. We should create a separate method with the return type as void

bWhen an object is created the constructor is invoked
c. The method call should be initialsed to a data type.
d. Apure function needs to be created to call the constructor

XX. Assertion (A): When you pass an object as an argument to a function, it

is called as pass by reference.
Reason(R):The_reference of an object is passed as parameter and not the
value of the argument.
a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a
correct explanation of Assertion (A)
b. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason R) is not a
correct explanation of Assertion(A)

Data Members:
units,amt of int data type.
Member Functions: 2 o ).S

Parameterised constructor to initialise units.

void showl) to display the contents of units andamt.
void compute(int u ):calculate the electricity bill with the help of the below 201:S

mentioned charges: Zos.o

1to 100 units - Rs.10/unit
100to 200 units - Rs.15/unit
200 to 300units - Rs.20/unit
above 300 units Rs.25/unit

In the main() create an object and initialise u with any value and calculate
amt by invoking the compute()function and display the contents of Uan
amt using show() function.
