Answer 1.
(i) (b) encapsulation
Explanation :
Encapsulation is the process of
binding together data and methods
of objects / entities as one unit.
(ii) (b) An object
Explanation :
An object is an identifiable entity
with a set of attributes, behaviour
and state.
(iii) (a) 4 bytes
Explanation :
The float data type in java is of 4
bytes.
(iv) (c) 4
Explanation :

⇒4+0
4+8%2

⇒4
Due to operator precedence 8 % 2 is
evaluated first. Its result is 0 so final
result is 4.
(v) (c) Comment
Explanation :
/* … */ are used in Java to write
multiline comments.
(vi) (c) pow( )
Explanation :
The pow() function returns the value
of a number raised to an exponent.

(vii) (a) a compound statement

Explanation :
If multiple statements execute for a
condition it is a compound
statement.
(viii) (b) 0 times
Explanation :
The loop condition i>100 will never
meet as i is getting decremented.
(ix) (d) All of these
Explanation :
A nested while loop can have any of
the types of blocks if/for/switch etc.
(x) (a) Stealing jewellery
Explanation :
Stealing jewellery is not related to
crime using network and electronic
media.
(xi) (a) Instructions only
Explanation :
As Procedure Oriented Programming
follows Top-down approach so the
focus is on the steps or instructions
to solve a problem.
(xii) (a) Objects
Explanation :
The objects of a class are the ones
who can access and invoke the
functions of the class.
(xiii) (a) Keyword
What will be the upthrust on block while
floating? Take density of water = 1000 kg
m–3 . While is a keyword in java that
is used to create loops.
(xiv) (c) Ternary
Explanation :
The Ternary operator ?: takes more
than two operands . It is also called
as conditional operator.
(xv) (c) Abstract Window Toolkit
Explanation :
AWT stands for Abstract Window
Toolkit, it is used by applets to
interact with the user.
(xvi) (b) 98.0
Explanation :
The Math.floor( ) function returns
the lower whole number value of a
fractional number.
(xvii) (b) Scalene triangle
Explanation :
Since the conditions imply all the
three sides are unequal , the output
must be scalene triangle.
(xviii) (a) Never
Explanation :
The loop will not execute as the
value of i starts with 10 and the loop
condition is i<10, which is never
met.
(xix) (d) All iterations of outer loop
Explanation :
The inner loop iterates for all
iterations of the outer loop.
(xx) (d) All of these
Explanation :
A FOSS is a software that can be
freely used , copied and modified.
Answer 2.
 (i) double pr = ( b != q ) ? 100 : 250;
 (ii) Object Oriented Programming
(OOP) is a programming paradigm
which revolves around the behaviour of
an object, and its interactions with
other objects and
 classes. In OOP, the program is
organised around data or objects
rather than functions or procedures. It
 follows the design principles of Data
Abstraction,
 Encapsulation, Inheritance, and
Polymorphism.

(x) When we purchase an original
software, we become the licensed
user and we get the right to use
it. However, we cannot make copies
of this software and load it in other
computers. Thus, when
someone copies a software without
buying the appropriate license or
copyright, it is known as software
piracy. Piracy can come in many
forms:
1. Licensed user duplication for
unlicensed users.
2. Illegal internet distribution.
