Which of the following is true?

a. Java uses only interpreter.

b. Java uses only compiler.

c. Java uses both interpreter and compiler.

d. None of the above.

Correct Answer:

c. Java uses both interpreter and compiler.

Detailed Solution:

Creating a .class file from .java using javac command is a compilation task, whereas execution of a
.class file using java is the process of interpretation.

QUESTION 2:

A Java file with extension ‘.class’ contains

a. Java source code

b. HTML tags

c. Java Byte code

d. A program file written in Java programming language

Correct Answer:

c. Java Byte code

Detailed Solution:

A .class file is a complied version of the .java file in byte code (it is a kind of object code with JVM (Java
Virtual Machine) as the target machine.

QUESTION 3:
Which of the following is not an object-oriented programming paradigm?

a. Encapsulation

b. Inheritance

c. Polymorphism

d. Dynamic memory allocation

Correct Answer:

d. Dynamic memory allocation

Detailed Solution:

Dynamic memory allocation is a memory allocation strategy and not a programming paradigm.

QUESTION 4:

Java is a platform independent programming language because

a. It compiles an intermediate code targeting a virtual machine, which can be interpreted by an

interpreter for a given OS.

b. The Java compiler translates the source code directly into the machine-level language.

c. It follows the concept of “write once and compile everywhere”.

d. It is written almost similar to the English language.

Correct Answer:

a. It compiles to an intermediate code targeting a virtual machine, which can be interpreted by

an interpreter for a given OS.
Detailed Solution:

The compiled code (byte code) can be executed (interpreted) on any platform running a JVM.
QUESTION 5:

Which of the following is not a Language Processor?

a. Assembler

b. Compiler

c. Interpreter

d. Fortran
Correct Answer:

d. Fortran

Detailed Solution:

A computer understands instructions in machine code i.e., in the form of 0s and 1s. Special translators
are required for this operation like Assembler, Compiler and Interpreter. Fortran is a programming
language but not a language processor.
QUESTION 6:

A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program runs. Which of the following
is/are Java platform component(s)?

a. HTML

b. Java Virtual Machine

c. Javascript

d. HotJava

Correct Answer:

b. Java Virtual Machine

Detailed Solution:

"A platform is the hardware or software environment in which a program runs. Some of the most
popular platforms are Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris OS, and Mac OS. Most platforms can be
described as a combination of the operating system and underlying hardware. The Java platform differs
from other platforms as it is a software-only platform that runs on top of other hardware-based
platforms.
The Java platform has two components:
The Java Virtual Machine
The Java Application Programming Interface (API)
QUESTION 7:

What is the correct sequence of steps to execute a Java program?

I. Compile the Program: Use the javac command to compile the code into bytecode.
II. Edit the Program: Write the code in a text editor or IDE.
III. Run the Program: Use the java command to execute the
bytecode.
 IV. Which of the following options represents this sequence?

a. Run → Edit → Compile

b. Edit → Run → Compile

c. Compile → Edit → Run

d. Edit → Compile → Run

Correct Answer:

d. Edit → Compile → Run

Detailed Solution:

The Java development process involves writing code (Edit), converting it to bytecode (Compile), and then
executing it on the JVM (Run).

QUESTION 8:

What is the primary difference between javac and java commands?

a. javac is used to edit Java code, while java runs Java programs.

b. javac compiles Java source code to bytecode, while java executes the bytecode on the JVM.

c. javac executes Java programs, while java is used for compilation.

d. Both are used for compiling Java programs.

Correct Answer:

b. javac compiles Java source code to bytecode, while java executes the bytecode on the JVM.

Detailed Solution:

The javac command converts .java source files into .class bytecode files.
The java command executes the .class file using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
QUESTION 9:

Which of the following is not a feature of Java?

a. Platform Independence

b. Object-Oriented Programming

c. Supports Explicit Pointers

d. Supports Polymorphism

Correct Answer:

c. Supports Explicit Pointers

Detailed Solution:

Java is platform-independent, object-oriented, and secure. It does not support explicit pointers, as they
can lead to memory management issues and compromise security.
QUESTION 10:

What is the output of the following code?

class NPTEL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

a. Hello, World!

QUESTION 1:

Consider the following object declaration statement

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

What does System.in stands for in the above declaration?

Any file storing data

Refers to the standard input stream, which is typically the keyboard by default.

Reference to scanner as an input device

It is a mouse as an input device

Correct Answer:

Refers to the standard input stream, which is typically the keyboard by default.

Detailed Solution:

System.in refers to the standard input device and the keyboard is treated as standard input device. Thus,
the code implies reading a data from keyboard.
Please refer to chapter 3 of book Joy With Java for a more detailed explaination.

QUESTION 2:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

public class VarPrint {

int x = 30;
static int y = 20;

public static void main(String[] args) {

VarPrint t1 = new
VarPrint(); t1.x = 88;
t1.y = 99;
int z1 = t1.x + t1.y;
VarPrint t2 = new
VarPrint();
System.out.println(t2.x + " " + t2.y + " " + z1);
}
}

30 99 178

30 88 129

30 99 187
 88 99 178

Correct Answer:

30 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.
Please refer to chapter 3 of book Joy With Java for a more detailed explaination.
QUESTION 3:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

public class ArgumenTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Test t = new Test();
t.start();
}

static class Test {

void start() {
int a = 4;
int b = 5;
System.out.print("" + 8 + 3 + "");
System.out.print(a + b);
System.out.print(" " + a + b + "");
System.out.print(foo() + a + b + " ");
System.out.println(a + b + foo());

Detailed Solution:

Here, print() methods internally converts the data in its argument into a String object and then print
the composition. Here, + is the concatenation of different String representation.
Please refer to chapter 3 of book Joy With Java for a more detailed explaination.
QUESTION 4:

What is encapsulation in object-oriented programming?

Hiding implementation details and exposing only functionality

The process of creating multiple objects in a program

Writing multiple methods in a single class

Using the this keyword to reference an object

Correct Answer:

Hiding implementation details and exposing only functionality

Detailed Solution:

Please refer to chapter 3 of book Joy With Java for a more detailed explaination.
Encapsulation is one of the fundamental principles of object-oriented programming. It involves bundling
the data (variables) and the methods (functions) that operate on the data into a single unit, typically a
class. By making certain data private and providing public methods to access or modify it, encapsulation
helps hide implementation details from the outside world while exposing only the required functionality.
This improves code modularity, security, and maintainability.
QUESTION 5:

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

Constructors must have a return type.

Constructors are used to initialize objects.

A class can have only one constructor.

Constructors cannot be overloaded.

Correct Answer:
 Constructors are used to initialize objects.

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.
Please refer book Joy with Java Chapter 3 for mored etailed explaination.
QUESTION 6:

What does the this keyword in Java help to achieve?

Avoiding name space collision between instance variables and method parameters

Overloading methods in a class

Accessing private methods in another class

Creating multiple objects in a program

Correct Answer:

Avoiding name space collision between instance variables and method parameters

Detailed Solution:

The this keyword is used to refer to the current instance of a class. It is commonly used to resolve
ambiguity when instance variables and method parameters have the same name. For example:

class Example {
int value;

Example(int value) {
this.value = value; // Resolves name collision by referring to
the instance variable
}
}

Here, this.value refers to the instance variable, while value refers to the parameter of the constructor.
This avoids confusion and ensures the proper assignment of values.
Please refer book Joy with Java Chapter 3 for mored etailed explaination.
QUESTION 7:

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.
Note: Please refer book Joy with Java Chapter 3 for mored etailed explaination.
QUESTION 8:

Which of the following is used to take runtime input in Java?

BufferedReader

Scanner

DataInputStream

All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Detailed Solution:

Java provides several ways to take runtime input:

BufferedReader: Reads text from the input stream efficiently.
Scanner: Parses primitive types and strings using regular expressions.
DataInputStream: Reads primitive data types and strings in a binary format. Each serves different
purposes based on requirements.
Note: Please refer book Joy with Java Chapter 3 for mored etailed explaination.
QUESTION 9:

Which method is used to format output in Java?

print()

println()

printf()

format()

Correct Answer:

printf()

Detailed Solution:

The printf() method is used in Java to produce formatted output. It follows the syntax of
System.out.printf(format, arguments) where the format specifies how the output should
appear. For example:

System.out.printf("%d %s", 5, "Apples");

prints "5 Apples".

Note: Please refer book Joy with Java Chapter 3 for mored etailed explaination.
QUESTION 10:

Which Java class is primarily used to read input from the console?

Scanner

BufferedReader

Console

DataInputStream
Correct Answer:

Scanner

Detailed Solution:

The Scanner class is widely used to read input from the console in Java. It provides methods to parse
and read primitive types (e.g., nextInt(), nextDouble()) and strings (e.g., next(), nextLine()). It
is a versatile and easy-to-use class for input handling.
Note: Please refer to chapter 3 of book Joy With Java for a more detailed explaination.
QUESTION 1:

Which of the following is true about the super keyword in Java?

a. super can be used to call a parent class constructor.

b. super is used to access private variables of the parent class.

c. super is used to call a static method in the parent class.

d. super can only be used inside a static method.

Correct Answer:

a. super can be used to call a parent class constructor.

Detailed Solution:

The super keyword is used to refer to the immediate parent class. It is commonly used to invoke the
parent class constructor or access its non-private methods and variables. However, it cannot access
private members of the parent class or be used in static methods.
QUESTION 2:

What is the output of the following Java program?

class StaticScopeDemo {
static int x = 5;

public static void main(String[] args) {

int x = 10;
{
int x = 15; // Compilation Error
System.out.println(x);
}
}
}

a. 15

b. Compilation Error

c. 5

d. 10

Correct Answer:

b. Compilation Error
Detailed Solution:

The block within main() tries to declare a local variable x that has the same name as an already
existing variable in the same scope, which causes a compilation error. Variable names must be unique
within the same scope
QUESTION 3:

What will be the output of the following program?

class Parent {
void display() {
System.out.println("Parent display");
}
}

class Child extends Parent {

void display() {
System.out.println("Child display");
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Parent obj = new Child();
obj.display();
}
}

a. Parent display

b. Child display

c. Compilation Error

d. Runtime Error

Correct Answer:

b. Child display

Detailed Solution:

This is an example of method overriding. The display() method in the Child class overrides the method in
the Parent class. When the method is called, Java uses dynamic method dispatch to execute
the Child class implementation.
QUESTION 4:

Which of the following statements about abstract classes in Java is correct?

 a. Abstract classes can be instantiated directly.

b. An abstract class must contain at least one abstract method.

c. A class inheriting from an abstract class must implement all its abstract methods unless it is
itself abstract.

d. Abstract classes can be marked as final.

Correct Answer:

c. A class inheriting from an abstract class must implement all its abstract methods unless it is
itself abstract.

Detailed Solution:

Abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly. They may or may not contain abstract methods. A
subclass inheriting an abstract class must provide implementations for all abstract methods unless it is
also declared abstract.

QUESTION 5:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

public class NptelExample {

public static int fun(int n) {
if (n == 0) {
return 1;
}
return n * fun(n - 1);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(fun(5));
}
}

a. 5

b. 24

c. 120

d. Runtime Error

Correct Answer:

c. 120
Detailed Solution:

The fun method is a recursive function that calculates the factorial of a number. For fun(5), the
computation is 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.
QUESTION 6:

Which of the following is NOT true regarding the final keyword in Java?

a. A final method cannot be overridden in a subclass.

b. A final variable can only be assigned once.

c. A final class can have subclasses.

d. A final variable can be assigned during declaration or in the constructor.

Correct Answer:

c. A final class can have subclasses.

Detailed Solution:

A class marked as final cannot be extended, meaning it cannot have subclasses. The other statements
about the final keyword are correct.
QUESTION 7:

What is the output of the following Java program?

class Test {
static int count = 0;

public Test() {
count++;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Test obj1 = new Test();
Test obj2 = new Test();
Test obj3 = new Test();
System.out.println("Count: " + Test.count);
}
}

a. Count: 0

b. Compilation Error

c. Runtime Error

d. Count: 3
Correct Answer:

d. Count: 3

Detailed Solution:

The count variable is static, meaning it is shared among all instances of the class. Each time
a Test object is created, the constructor increments count. Since three objects are created, the
output is Count: 3.
QUESTION 8:

Which of these is NOT an example of method overriding in Java?

a. A subclass defining a method with the same name but different parameters than a
superclass method.

b. A subclass providing a new implementation for a method in the superclass.

c. A subclass defining a method with the same name and parameters as a superclass method.

d. Using the super keyword to call the superclass version of an overridden method.
Correct Answer:

a. A subclass defining a method with the same name but different parameters than a
superclass method.
Detailed Solution:

If a method in a subclass has the same name but different parameters, it is method overloading, not
method overriding. Method overriding requires the same name and parameters.
QUESTION 9:

What is the output of the following Java program?

class Parent {
String message() {
return "Parent";
}
}

class Child extends Parent {

String message() {
return "Child";
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Child p = new Parent();
System.out.println(p.message());
}
}
 a. Parent

b. Child

c. Compilation Error

d. No error and nothing is printed

Correct Answer:

c. Compilation Error

Detailed Solution:

There will be a compilation error: Type mismatch: cannot convert from Parent to Child
QUESTION 10:

What is the output of the following program?

public class Nptel {

public static int fun(int n) {
if (n == 0) {
return 0;
}
return n + fun(n - 1);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

System.out.println(fun(5));
}
}

a. 5

b. 10

c. 15

d. Runtime Error

Correct Answer:

c. 15

Detailed Solution:

The fun function calculates the sum of the first n natural numbers using recursion. For fun(5), the
computation is 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15.
QUESTION 1:

Which access modifier allows a method to be accessible within the same package but not from
outside the package?

a. default

b. private

c. public

d. protected

Correct Answer:

a. default

Detailed Solution:

The default access modifier (no explicit modifier specified) allows access to the method within the
same package but not from outside. It is also known as "package-private."
QUESTION 2:

What will happen if you attempt to access a private method from another class in Java?

a. The method will be accessible.

b. The method will throw an exception.

c. The method will be inaccessible.

d. The method will be converted to protected.

Correct Answer:

c. The method will be inaccessible

Detailed Solution:

A private method is accessible only within the same class. Any attempt to access it from another class
results in a compilation error.
QUESTION 3:

What will be the output of the following code?

class Person {
int a = 1;
int b = 0;
 a. 1 Java 10
0 Java 0

b. 1 Java
0 Java

c. 10 Java
0 Java

d. 1 java 1
0 Java 0

Correct Answer:

b. 1 Java
0 Java

Detailed Solution:
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:

Which of the following is a built-in Java package?

a. java.util

b. my.package.util

c. default.package

d. system.java

Correct Answer:

a. java.util

a package named `mypackage`.
QUESTION 6:

How do you import a specific class from a package in Java?

a. import package.*;

b. import package.ClassName;

c. include package.ClassName;

d. use package.ClassName;

Correct Answer:
b. import package.ClassName;

Detailed Solution:

The syntax `import package.ClassName;` imports a specific class from a package. For example, `import
java.util.Scanner;` imports the `Scanner` class from the `java.util` package.
QUESTION 7:

Consider the following program:

class Base {
public void print() {
System.out.println("Base class...");
}
}
class Derived extends Base {
public void print() {
System.out.println("Derived
class...");
}
}
public class Main {

b.print();
Derived d = new Derived();
d.print();
}
}
How many errors does this program contain?

a. None

b. 1

c. 2
 d. 3
Correct Answer:

b. 1
Detailed Solution:

This code has one error:

1. Incorrect visibility of `main` method:
The `main` method is defined as `private static void main(String[] args)`. The
`main` method must be `public static void main(String[] args)` to be recognized as
the entry point of the program by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
QUESTION 8:

Which of the following is true about Java interfaces?

a. They cannot contain method implementations.

b. An interface can extend multiple classes.

c. An interface can only contain abstract methods.

d. They allow a class to achieve multiple inheritance.

Correct Answer:
d. They allow a class to achieve multiple inheritance.

Detailed Solution:

Interfaces in Java provide a mechanism to achieve multiple inheritance because a class can implement
multiple interfaces.
QUESTION 9:

What will happen if you do not specify an access modifier for a class in a package?

a. The class will be `private` by default.

b. The class will be `protected` by default.

c. The class will be accessible only within the same package.

d. The class will be `public` by default.

Correct Answer:
c. The class will be accessible only within the same package.
Detailed Solution:

If no access modifier is specified for a class, it gets the default access level, making it accessible only
within the same package.

QUESTION 10:

Which access modifier provides the most restrictive access in Java?

a. default

b. protected

c. private

d. public

Correct Answer:

c. private

Detailed Solution:

The `private` modifier provides the most restrictive access, allowing access only within the class where it
is defined.

QUESTION 1:

Which of the following statement(s) is/are true about finally in Java?

I. The finally block is executed regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

II. A finally block can exist without a catch block.
III. The finally block will not execute if System.exit() is called in the try block.
IV. A finally block can have a return statement, but it is not recommended to use.

a. I and II

b. II and III

c. I, II and III

d. I, II, III and IV

Correct Answer:

d. I, II, III and IV

Detailed Solution:

static methods.

QUESTION 5:

Which of the following is a checked exception in Java?

a. NullPointerException

b. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

c. IOException

d. ArithmeticException

Correct Answer:

c. IOException

Detailed Solution:

IOException is a checked exception, meaning it must be either caught or declared in the throws
clause of a method. The others are unchecked exceptions, which do not require explicit handling.
QUESTION 6:

Which keyword is NOT used by Java during exception handling?

a. try

b. catch

c. final

d. finally

Correct Answer:
 c. final

Detailed Solution:

In Java, exceptions are handled using the try, catch, and finally blocks. The try block contains
code that might throw an exception, the catch block handles specific exceptions, and the finally
block
executes regardless of whether an exception occurs.
QUESTION 7:

What is the purpose of the throws keyword in Java?

a. To declare exceptions that a method can throw

b. To throw an exception immediately

c. To catch an exception

d. It is not a keyword in Java

Correct Answer:

a. To declare exceptions that a method can throw

Detailed Solution:

The throws keyword is used in a method signature to declare the exceptions that the method might
throw, alerting callers to handle or propagate these exceptions.

QUESTION 8:

Which of the following is TRUE about interfaces in Java?

a. Interfaces should always be defined as final

b. Interfaces can be instantiated directly.

c. Interfaces can extend multiple interfaces.

d. Interfaces cannot have any methods signatures

Correct Answer:

QUESTION 10:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

interface Calculator {
void calculate(int value);
}

class Square implements Calculator {

int result;
public void calculate(int value)
 a. Square: 9 Cube: 9

b. Cube: 27 Square: 9

c. Square: 9 Square: 27 Cube: 27

d. Square: 9 Cube: 27 Square: 27

Correct Answer:

a. Square: 9 Cube: 9

Detailed Solution:

The Cube class overrides the calculate method of the Square class. In the Cube class’s calculate
method, super.calculate(value) is called, which executes the calculate method of the Square
class. First, "Square: 9" is printed by the superclass method. Then, the overridden method in Cube
prints "Cube: 9".NOC25-CS57 (JAN-2025 25S)

Running thread: 2
Main method complete.

b. Running thread: 0
Main method complete.
Running thread: 1
Running thread: 2

c. Main method complete.

d. Error: The thread was not started using start()

Correct Answer:
 a. Running thread: 0
Running thread: 1
Running thread: 2
Main method
complete

Detailed Solution:

In this program, the run() method is called directly instead of using start(). When run() is called
like this, it does not create a new thread; it behaves like a regular method call and runs on the main
thread. As a result, the output is sequential. To create a separate thread, you must call the start()
method.For a more detailed understanding of thread methods like run() and start(), refer to the
book Joy with Java.

QUESTION 2:

Which of the following best describes the concept of multithreading in Java?

a. Multiple threads execute concurrently, sharing the same memory space.

b. Only one thread executes at a time, ensuring sequential execution.

c. Threads in Java cannot communicate with each other.

d. Threads require separate memory allocation for each thread to run.

Correct Answer:

a. Multiple threads execute concurrently, sharing the same memory space.

Detailed Solution:

Multithreading in Java allows multiple threads to run concurrently within the same program, sharing the
same memory space. This feature makes Java programs more efficient, especially for tasks like
multitasking or background processing. However, proper synchronization is crucial to avoid issues like
data inconsistency. For a more detailed explanation of multithreading concepts, refer to the book Joy
with Java.

QUESTION 3:

What will happen when the following code is executed?

class ExampleThread extends Thread

 a. The program will execute successfully, printing "Thread is running." twice.

b. The program will throw an error when attempting to start the thread a second time.

c. The program will terminate without any output.

d. The thread will run only once, and the second start() call will be ignored.
Correct Answer:
b. The program will throw an error when attempting to start the thread a second time.
Detailed Solution:

In Java, a thread can only be started once. If you try to call start() on the same thread object more
than once, the JVM will throw an IllegalThreadStateException. This is because a thread's lifecycle
allows it to transition to the "terminated" state after completing execution, and it cannot be restarted.
For more details about the thread lifecycle, refer to the book Joy with Java.
QUESTION 4:

Find the error in the following program:

class RunnableExample implements Runnable {

public void run() {
for (int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
System.out.println("Runnable thread: " +
i);
}
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
RunnableExample runnable = new
RunnableExample(); runnable.run();
System.out.println("Main method ends.");
}
}
a. The program will throw an error because Runnable cannot be executed directly.

b. The program will run successfully but will not create a new thread.

c. The program will create a new thread and execute concurrently.

d. The program will throw a runtime error because Thread is not used.

Correct Answer:

b. The program will run successfully but will not create a new thread.

Detailed Solution:

In this code, the Runnable object is created, but it is executed directly using the run() method instead
of passing it to a Thread object. To create a new thread, you need to use:

Thread t = new Thread(runnable);

t.start();

Without this, the run() method behaves like a regular method call, and no new thread is created.
For more detailed guidance on creating threads using Runnable, refer to the book Joy with Java.
QUESTION 5:

What will happen when the following code is executed?

class RunnableExample implements Runnable

{ public void run() {
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); thread.start();
}
}
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, Terminated

c. New, Runnable, Running, Sleeping, Dead

d. New, Active, Waiting, Suspended, Terminated

Correct Answer:

b. 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.
For a detailed explanation of thread states, refer to the book Joy with Java.
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.
For more on thread scheduling, refer to the book Joy with Java.

QUESTION 8:
Consider the following program:

class PriorityExample extends Thread {

public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() +
" with priority " +
Thread.currentThread().getPriority());
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
PriorityExample t1 = new PriorityExample();
PriorityExample t2 = new PriorityExample();

t1.setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
t2.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);

t1.start();
t2.start();
}
}

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.
QUESTION 9:

What is the primary purpose of thread synchronization in Java?

a. To allow multiple threads to execute a method at the same time

b. To ensure thread execution follows a specific order

c. To prevent race conditions and ensure data consistency

 d. To allow threads to communicate with each other

Correct Answer:

c. To prevent race conditions and ensure data consistency

Detailed Solution:

Thread synchronization is used to control the access of multiple threads to shared resources,
ensuring data consistency and preventing race conditions. This is typically done using synchronized
methods or blocks. For more details on thread synchronization, refer to the book Joy with Java.

QUESTION 10:

What is the primary difference between Byte Streams and Character Streams in Java?

a. Byte Streams handle characters, while Character Streams handle bytes.

b. Byte Streams are used for binary data, while Character Streams are used for text data.

c. Character Streams are faster than Byte Streams in all cases.

d. Character Streams cannot handle international characters like Unicode.

Correct Answer:

b. Byte Streams are used for binary data, while Character Streams are used for text data.
Detailed Solution:

Byte Streams: Handle raw binary data like images or files (InputStream, OutputStream).
Character Streams: Handle text data and support encoding like Unicode (Reader, Writer).
Character Streams are better for text processing, especially when handling international characters.
For a detailed understanding of Java I/O streams, refer to the book Joy with Java.

Calculator obj = new Calculator();
obj.calc(2);
obj.printNum();
}
}

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.

Clicking on a check box changes its state from "on" to "off," or from "off" to "on." Commented [DM4R3]: fixed

A check box can be in an "on" (true) and in "off" (false) state simultaneously.

Check boxes cannot be grouped together.

Correct Answer:

Clicking on a check box changes its state from "on" to "off," or from "off" to "on."

Detailed Solution:

A check box is a graphical component that can be in either an "on" (true) or "off" (false) state. Clicking
on a check box changes its state from "on" to "off," or from "off" to "on.". A check box cannot be in
both “on” and “off” state simultaneously. Further, several check boxes can be grouped together under
the control of a single object, using the CheckboxGroup class. In a check box group, at most one button
can be in the "on" state at any given time. Clicking on a check box to turn it on forces any other check
box in the same group that is on into the "off" state.
