99 99 187

Detailed Solution:

If you perform any change for instance variable these changes won’t be reflected for the remaining
objects. Because for every object a separate copy of instance variable will be there. But if you do any
change to the static variable, that change will be reflected for all objects because a static instance
maintains a single copy in memory.

QUESTION 5:

Which of the following is true about constructors in a class?

Constructors do not have a return type.

Constructors aren’t used to initialize objects.

A class can have only one constructor.

Constructors cannot be overloaded.

Correct Answer:

Constructors do not have a return type.

Detailed Solution:

A constructor is a special method in a class that is automatically called when an object of the class is
created. Its main purpose is to initialize the object's properties (variables). Unlike other methods,
constructors:
 Have the same name as the class.
 Do not have a return type, not even void. A class can have multiple constructors with different
parameter lists (constructor overloading) to allow flexibility in object creation.

QUESTION 10:

What is the correct signature of the main method in Java?

public void main(String args[])

public static void main(String[] args)

void main(String[] args)

public static void main(String args[])

Correct Answer:

public static void main(String[] args)

Detailed Solution:

The main method in Java must be declared as public static void main(String[] args) to be
recognized by the JVM as the entry point of the program. The public modifier allows the method to be
accessible from anywhere, static ensures it can be called without creating an instance of the class, and
String[] args is the parameter used for command-line arguments.

QUESTION 3:

Consider the following code.

class access {
public int x;
private int y;

void cal(int a, int b) {

x = a + 1;
y = b;
}
void print() {
System.out.println(" " + y);
}
}
public class access_specifier {
public static void main(String args[]) {
access obj = new access();
obj.cal(2, 3);
System.out.print(obj.x);
obj.print();
}
}
What is the output of the above code?

a. 2 3

b. 3 3

c. Runtime Error

d. Compilation Error

Correct Answer:

b. 3 3

Detailed Solution:

The first 3 is printed by System.out.println(obj.x); because x was set to 3 (2 + 1) in the cal method.
The second 3 is printed by obj.print(); because y was set to 3 in the cal method.
Although y is a private variable, it is still accessible within the methods of the same class. Therefore, the
print method can access and print its value.

Members which are not intended to be inherited are declared as

a. Public members

b. Protected members

c. Private members

d. Private or Protected members

QUESTION 5:

Which type of inheritance leads to diamond problem?

a. Single level

b. Multi-level

c. Multiple

d. Hierarchical

Correct Answer:

c. Multiple

Detailed Solution:

When 2 or more classes inherit the same class using multiple inheritance and then one more class
inherits those two base classes, we get a diamond like structure. Here, ambiguity arises when same
function gets derived into 2 base classes and finally to 3rd level class because same name functions are
being inherited.

}
}

class demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
subDemoClass subc = new subDemoClass();
subc.func();
}
}
What is the output of the above code?

a. error: func() in subDemoClass cannot override func() in superDemoClass

b. value of b = 60

c. value of a = 20

d. None of the above

Correct Answer:

a. error: func() in subDemoClass cannot override func() in superDemoClass

Detailed Solution:

Here in this program, the subclass is trying to override the final method of the superclass, i.e. it is trying
to change the behavior of the final method. The behavior of the final method cannot be changed in the
subclass. In other words, the final method cannot be overridden in any subclass because the final
method is a complete method. Therefore, error: func() in subDemoClass cannot override func() in

x and y are static variables, so they are shared across all instances of the class static_out.
When obj1.add(a, a + 1) is called, x and y are updated to 5 and 8, respectively.
When obj2.add(5, a) is called, x and y are updated to 7 and 9, respectively.
The final values of x and y after all method calls are 7 and 9, respectively, which are printed by

}
}

What will be the output if the program is executed?

a. It will give compile-time error

b. It will give run-time error

c. 1.0

d. 3.14

Correct Answer:

b. It will give compile-time error

Detailed Solution:

The program gives a compile time error as the Math class is missing.
The static import statement needs to be used to import the static members (e.g., PI) of java.lang.Math.

import static java.lang.Math.*;

This will allow the program to use PI directly.

Correct Answer:

d. 0 Java
1 Java

Detailed Solution:
 NPTEL Online Certification Courses
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

If no super() or this() is included explicitly within the derived class constructor, the super() is implicitly
invoked by the compiler. Therefore, in this case, the Person class constructor is called first and then the
Employee class constructor is called. Up casting is allowed.

QUESTION 4:

In Java, can a subclass in a different package access a superclass’s protected method?

a. Yes, without any restrictions.

b. Yes, but only if they are in the same package.

c. No, protected methods are not accessible by subclasses.

d. Yes, but only through inheritance (i.e., using super or this, not via an object)

Correct Answer:

d. Yes, but only through inheritance (i.e., using super or this, not via an object)

Detailed Solution:

- A subclass in a different package can access protected members only through inheritance (directly via
super or this).

- It cannot access the superclass’s protected method via an instance of the superclass.

- Protected also allows access to classes in the same package without subclassing, but that’s not the
case here.

}
}

// Main2.java ------------------

}
}

Choose the best option among the following for the code snippet given above

a. Both pre-increment and post-increment operators becomes pre-increment during print.

b. Both pre-increment and post-increment operators becomes post-increment during print.

c. Both Main1 and Main2 classes give the same output.

d. Pre-increment and post-increment operators don’t work during print.

Correct Answer:

c. Both Main1 and Main2 classes give the same output.

Detailed Solution:

The output of both the program are 22. Therefore, option c is correct and we can eliminate option d that
the operators don’t work. Further, the operators are doing exactly what they are supposed to do i.e. pre-
increment first increases the values and post-increment increases the value during the next operation.
The print statement is the next operation; hence it received the post incremented value as well making
option a and b invalid.

for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println("Thread running: " + i);
}
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
RunnableExample task = new RunnableExample();
Thread thread = new Thread(task);

}
}
What will happen when the above code is executed?

a. The program will throw a compile-time error because Runnable is not a thread.

b. The program will execute successfully, and the run() method will run in a new thread.

c. The program will execute the run() method directly on the main thread.

d. The program will throw a runtime error because Runnable is not properly implemented.

Correct Answer:

b. The program will execute successfully, and the run() method will run in a new thread.

Detailed Solution:

The Runnable interface is implemented by the class RunnableExample. To create a thread, the Runnable
object is passed to the Thread constructor, and calling start() ensures that the run() method is executed
in a new thread.For more details on creating threads using Runnable, refer to the book Joy with Java.

QUESTION 6:

Which of the following states can a thread enter during its lifecycle in Java?

a. New, Runnable, Running, Blocked

b. New, Runnable, Waiting, Blocked

c. New, Runnable, Running, Sleeping, Dead

d. New, Runnable, Waiting, Blocked, Terminated

Correct Answer:

d. New, Runnable, Waiting, Blocked, Terminated

Detailed Solution:

The states of a thread in Java are:

 New: Thread is created but not started.
 Runnable: Thread is ready to run but waiting for CPU time.
 Waiting/Blocked: Thread is paused or waiting for some resource.
 Terminated: Thread has completed execution.

Additional note:
In Java thread lifecycle, Waiting and Blocked are two distinct states:
 Blocked means the thread is waiting to enter a synchronized block/method because another
thread holds the lock.
 Waiting means the thread is waiting indefinitely for another thread to notify it (e.g., via
wait()/notify()).
 This distinction helps in understanding thread coordination better. For more details, check Joy

QUESTION 7:

What does the thread scheduler use to decide which thread to run when multiple threads are in the
runnable state?

a. Thread priority

b. Thread's execution time

c. Thread name

d. Thread creation order

Correct Answer:

a. Thread priority

Detailed Solution:

The thread scheduler uses thread priorities as a hint to determine the execution order of threads in the
runnable state. However, thread scheduling also depends on the operating system's scheduling policies
and may not strictly follow priority.

Which of the following is true about the output?

a. The thread with the higher priority is guaranteed to execute first.

b. The thread with the lower priority will never execute.

c. The order of execution depends on the JVM and OS scheduling policies.

d. The program will throw an error due to invalid priority values.

Correct Answer:

c. The order of execution depends on the JVM and OS scheduling policies.

Detailed Solution:

Thread priority is a hint to the thread scheduler but does not guarantee execution order. The actual
behavior depends on the JVM and the underlying OS.For more on thread priorities, refer to the book Joy
with Java.

What will be the output of the above code?

a. 20

b. 100

c. 1000

d. 2

Correct Answer:

a. 20

Detailed Solution:

Here the class instance variable name(num) is same as calc() method local variable name(num). So for
referencing class instance variable from calc() method, this keyword is used. So in statement this.num =
num * 10, num represents local variable of the method whose value is 2 and this.num represents class
instance variable whose initial value is 100. Now in printNum() method, as it has no local variable whose
name is same as class instance variable, so we can directly use num to reference instance variable,
although this.num can be used.

A frame with a button "Programming in Java - 2025" at coordinates (30, 50)

Detailed Solution:

- The program creates a frame and adds a button with the label "Programming in Java - 2025".
- Since setLayout(null) is used, absolute positioning is applied, so the button will appear exactly at
coordinates (30, 50) with a width of 180 and a height of 30.
- The frame title will appear blank because setTitle() was never called, but this does not affect the
button’s placement or visibility.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:
i. The main method calls aMethod(), which throws an Exception.
ii. Inside aMethod(), an Exception is thrown in the try block.
iii. The finally block is always executed, regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not. In
this case, it prints "finally ".
iv. Since aMethod() throws an Exception, control moves to the catch block in main.
v. The catch block prints "exception ".
vi. After the try-catch block in main, "finished " is printed.

QUESTION 9:

Consider the code given below:

public class NPTEL {

public static void main(String[] args) {
String str1 = "Hello";
String str2 = "Hello";
String str3 = new String("Hello");
System.out.print((str1 == str2) + " ");
System.out.print(str1 == str3);
}
}

What will be the output of the code given above?

a. true false

b. false true

c. true true

d. false false

Correct Answer:

a. true false

Detailed Solution:

str1 and str2 are string literals and will be interned to the same memory location, so str1 ==
str2 will be true. However, str3 is created using the new keyword, so it will be stored in a different
memory location, leading str1 == str3 to be false.

that case check box is preferred. And if a form is asking about gender, there must be only one true
option among the multiple choices, in that case radio buttons are used.
