(b) An airline reservation is an association ranging from a passenger, a flight, and a
seat. choose a few pertinent attributes for every of these entity kinds and represent
airline reservation in an E-R diagram. (7)

Q. 13. (a) If a few existing modules are to be re-used in building a new system,
which design strategy is used and why?
(5)
(b) describe module coupling and discuss various kinds of coupling. (7)

Q. 14. (a) Consider a program for the determination of the nature of roots of a
quadratic formula. Its input is a triple of positive integers (say a, b, c) and
value may be from [1, 100]. The program output may have 1 of the subsequent
words: [not a quadratic equation; Real Roots; Imaginary Roots; Equal Roots].
Design the boundary value test cases. (7)
