Section B [60 Marks]

(Answer any 4 questions – Each question carries 15 marks)
Each program should be written using variable description

Define a class CourierService with the following descriptions:
class: CourierService
Instance Variables/ Data Members:
String name – To store the name of the customer
String type – To store the type of parcel (Ordinary/Express)
int weight – to store the weight of the parcel

Question 5 [15]
A Krishnamurthy number is a number whose sum of factorial of digits is equal to the number.

Question 6 [15]
Create a class to overload the function palindrome( ) as follows:
