Question 1:
A car sharing company needs a coder to come up with a solution to calculate the fares of each
and every ride. Your job is to write a function that can do so for the said company. The fare of
a ride depends on three things: how long the ride is, how much traffic there is and how many
rides a particular customer has taken with that company. The per kilometre rate is set by the
driver. After the first 10 kilometres, per kilometre rate is reduced by half. The traffic can be
high “h” or low “l”. The customer status can be Pro “P”, Average “A” or Newbie “N”. If the
traffic is high then the 25 percent of the total fare is added to the final total. If the traffic is low,
then 10 percent of the total fare is deducted from the final total. The pro customer gets 20
percent, the average user 15 percent and the newbie user gets 10 percent discount respectively.
Question 2:
Take an integer as an input from the user and write a functions that counts the number of the
different digits in it. The length of the integer can vary. For example, if a user enters 1233231
then the program should display the total number of 1 (i.e. 2), the total number of 2 (i.e. 2) and
the total number of 3 (i.e. 3).
Question 3:
A Ruth–Aaron pair is a pair of two consecutive integers for which the sums of
the distinct prime factors of each integer are equal. For example, we know that (714, 715) is a
valid Ruth-Aaron pair because the sum of the distinct prime factors of 714 (2,3,7 and 17) and
the sum of the distinct prime factors of 715 (5, 11, 13) is equal to 29.
You need to write a function that takes two numbers as an input and returns a value which
indicate whether the pair is a valid Ruth-Aaron pair or not. The function should also check the
first condition of being a Ruth-Aaron pair.
