Answers:

1. Arrays and Loops

Q1 Answer: A) 9

Explanation:
The loop iterates through the array indices 0 to 4. It adds the elements at even indices:

• numbers[0] = 1
• numbers[2] = 3
• numbers[4] = 5

Sum = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9.

Q2 Answer: B) Index out of bounds error at runtime.

Explanation:
The loop condition uses i <= arr.length, which means i will take values 0 to 5 inclusive.
However, array indices in Java are 0 to 4 for an array of length 5. When i = 5, arr[5] is
accessed, leading to an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

2. String Manipulation

Q3 Answer: A) HELLO

Explanation:
The toUpperCase() method converts all characters in the string to uppercase. Therefore,
"hello" becomes "HELLO".

Q4 Answer: B) Different

Explanation:
The equals() method is case-sensitive. "Hello" is not equal to "hello" due to the difference in
the first character's case, resulting in "Different" being printed.

3. Method Creation and Usage

Q5 Answer: B) 6

Explanation:
The multiply method returns the product of 2 and 3, which is 6. This value is then printed.

Q6 Answer: B) Compilation error because printMessage() is non-static.

Explanation:
printMessage() is an instance method (non-static), but it's being called from the static main
method without creating an instance of the Test class. This leads to a compilation error.

4. 2D Arrays

Q7 Answer: C) 6

Explanation:
matrix[1][2] accesses the third element (index 2) of the second row (index 1). The value at
this position is 6.

Q8 Answer: A) 3

Explanation:
The nested loops assign arr[i][j] = i + j. Therefore:

• arr[2][1] = 2 + 1 = 3

5. Object-Oriented Programming (Classes, Objects, Methods)

Q9 Answer: B) Toyota

Explanation:
A Car object is created with the model "Toyota". Printing c.model outputs "Toyota".

Q10 Answer: A) No error, it will print default values.

Explanation:
When a Student object is created without initializing name and age, they default to null and 0,
respectively. The display() method prints "null is 0 years old." without any runtime
errors.

6. Exception Handling

Q11 Answer: B) Arithmetic Exception occurred

Explanation:
Dividing by zero (10 / 0) throws an ArithmeticException, which is caught by the catch
block, resulting in "Arithmetic Exception occurred" being printed.

Q12 Answer: A) ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will occur and will be caught.

Explanation:
Accessing arr[5] in an array of size 3 throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. This
exception is caught by the generic catch (Exception e) block, printing "Exception
caught". Additionally, the finally block executes, printing "Finally block executed".

1. Arrays and Loops (Additional Questions)

Q13 Answer: B) 3840

Explanation:
The product of all elements in the array {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} is calculated as:

• 2×4=8
• 8 × 6 = 48
• 48 × 8 = 384
• 384 × 10 = 3840

Q14 Answer: B) Infinite loop due to incorrect loop condition.

Explanation:
The loop initializes i to 0 and decrements i (i--) on each iteration. The condition i < 5 will
always be true as i becomes increasingly negative, resulting in an infinite loop.
2. String Manipulation (Additional Questions)

Q15 Answer: A) pen

Explanation:
The substring(1, 4) method extracts characters from index 1 to 3 (the end index is exclusive):

• "OpenAI"
• Characters at indices 1, 2, and 3 are 'p', 'e', 'n', forming "pen".

Q16 Answer: B) Jovo Progrormming

Explanation:
The replace("a", "o") method replaces all occurrences of 'a' with 'o' in the string "Java
Programming":

• "Java Programming" → "Jovo Progrormming"

3. Method Creation and Usage (Additional Questions)

Q17 Answer: C) 2.0

Explanation:
The divide method performs integer division (5 / 2), which results in 2. This integer 2 is then
converted to a double, resulting in 2.0.

Q18 Answer: A) No error; it runs correctly.

Explanation:
The greet() method is static and can be called from the non-static callGreet() method
without any issues. The program runs correctly and prints "Hello!".

4. 2D Arrays (Additional Questions)

Q19 Answer: C) 21
Explanation:
The sum of all elements in the grid is calculated as:

• 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21

Q20 Answer: C) Runtime error (NullPointerException).

Explanation:
The matrix is initialized with new int[2][], meaning each sub-array (matrix[0] and
matrix[1]) is null. Attempting to access matrix[0][0] or matrix[1][1] results in a
NullPointerException at runtime.

5. Object-Oriented Programming (Classes, Objects, Methods) (Additional

Questions)

Q21 Answer: B) Alice is 30 years old.

Explanation:
A Person object is created with name = "Alice" and age = 30. The display() method prints
"Alice is 30 years old.".

Q22 Answer: B) Compilation error due to missing constructor parameter.

Explanation:
The Rectangle class constructor requires two parameters (int l, int w), but in
TestRectangle, a Rectangle object is instantiated with only one argument (new
Rectangle(5)). This mismatch leads to a compilation error.

6. Exception Handling (Additional Questions)

Q23 Answer: D) Index out of bounds!

End of try-catch.

Explanation:

• Attempting to access numbers[3] in an array of size 3 (indices 0-2) throws an

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
 • The catch block catches this exception and prints "Index out of bounds!".
• The finally block always executes, printing "End of try-catch.".

Output:

csharp
Copy code
Index out of bounds!
End of try-catch.

Q24 Answer: C) Runtime error (NullPointerException not caught).

Explanation:

• The string s is null. Calling s.length() throws a NullPointerException.

• The catch block is specifically for ArithmeticException, so it does not catch the
NullPointerException.
• As a result, the program terminates with a NullPointerException at runtime.
