Q1:
Write a C program to manage books in a library using a structure.
Each book has:
title (string)
author (string)
price (float)
Your program should:
1. Take n as input (number of books).
2. Implement the following functions:
- void inputBooks(struct Book books[], int n): to read details of all books.
- void displayBooks(struct Book books[], int n): to display details of all books.
- struct Book findCostliestBook(struct Book books[], int n): to find and return the book with the
highest price.
3. In the main function, call these functions appropriately.
4. Display the details of the costliest book.

Product of the two matrices is:
58 64
139 154
Testcase 2 — Invalid multiplication (2×2 × 3×2):
Input:
Enter rows and columns of first matrix:
22
Enter rows and columns of second matrix:
32
Enter elements of first matrix:

Q2:
Write a C program to check whether a given matrix is symmetric or not.
Use a 2D array to store the matrix.
Write functions to:
1. Input the matrix.
2. Display the matrix.
3. Check whether the matrix is symmetric.
Use conditional statements to print "Matrix is Symmetric" or "Matrix is Not Symmetric".
Test Case 1:
Input:
Enter number of rows and columns: 3 3
Enter elements of the matrix:
123
256
369
Output:
Matrix is:
123
256
369
Matrix is Symmetric
Test Case 2:
Input:
Enter number of rows and columns: 2 2
Enter elements of the matrix:
10
21
Output:
Matrix is:
10
21
Matrix is Not Symmetric
Q3:
Write a C program to manage basic student records for a college.
Each student has the following information:
i. Roll Number (integer)
ii. Name (string)
iii. Marks in 3 subjects (float)
iv. Average Marks (float)
v. Grade (char)
The program should:
1. Allow the user to enter details of n students.
2. Use functions to:
- Input student data
- Calculate average marks and grade
- Display all student records
- Display students who scored above a certain average (use conditional check)
3. Use loops to input and display multiple students.
4. Use conditional statements to assign grades:
- A if average ≥ 85
- B if 70 ≤ average < 85
- C if 50 ≤ average < 70
- D otherwise.
Sample Input (Test Case):
Enter number of students: 2
Enter details for student 1:
Roll No: 101
Name: Ram
Marks in 3 subjects: 90 85 88
Enter details for student 2:
Roll No: 102
Name: Shyam
Marks in 3 subjects: 75 70 72
Sample Output:
All Student Records:
Roll No: 101
Name: Ram
Average: 87.67
Grade: A
Roll No: 102
Name: Shyam
Average: 72.33
Grade: B
Q4:
Write a C program to simulate a simple Cinema Seat Reservation System using a 2D Array.
The cinema hall has seats arranged in rows and columns.
Each seat can have one of the following states:
0 → Seat is available
1 → Seat is booked
The program should allow the user to:
1. Display the current seating arrangement.
2. Book a seat by entering the row and column number.
3. Update and display the seating arrangement after each booking.
4. If a seat is already booked, display an appropriate message.
5. Continue booking until the user chooses to stop.
Test Case:
Input:
Enter number of rows: 3
Enter number of columns: 3
Current Seating:
000
000
000
Menu:
1. Book a seat
2. Exit
Enter your choice: 1
Enter row and column to book seat: 2 3
Seat booked successfully!
Updated Seating:
000
001
000
Q5:
Write a C program that finds the largest element in a 2D array (a matrix).
The logic for finding the maximum element must be implemented inside a separate function.
Test Case 1: Standard Positive Numbers
Input Array:
{
{3, 12, 5, 40},
{15, 2, 88, 7},
{9, 21, 6, 1}
}
Expected Output:
The maximum element in the array is: 88
Test Case 2: All Negative Numbers
Input Array:
{
{-5, -10, -3},
{-2, -8, -1},
{-15, -20, -4}
}
Expected Output:
The maximum element in the array is: -1
Test Case 3: All Elements are the Same
Input Array:
{
{7, 7, 7},
{7, 7, 7}
}
Expected Output:
The maximum element in the array is: 7
