//lots and lots of code here.
}

public sychronized void method2()

{
//lots of code here too.
}

Assuming that all the code inside the method is legal and cannot be a cause for
compilation error 1. An attempt to compile will cause a compilation error. Static methods cannot be
synchronized.
2. Compilation will be successfull. The Object instantiated will have a lock which
has to be gained by Threads calling any of the two methods.
3. Compilation will be successfull. There will exist a Class wide lock which will
have to be gained by the Thread calling method1 and an instance lock for each
instance which will have to be gained by the Thread making a call to method2 on
the Object instance. The class wide lock and the instance lock being independent
of each other.
4. Compilation will be successfull. There will exist a Class wide lock which will
have to be gained by the Thread calling method1 and an instance lock for each
instance which will have to be gained by the Thread making a call to method2 on
the Object instance. The class wide lock and the instance lock being mutually
exclusive.

the public static void main(String args[]) method of the class. The class is
executed with the following command line string
c:\somedirectory> java Cat

An expression in the main method is as follows

System.out.println(args.length);
1. The above expression will cause a '0' appear on the command line.
2. Will throw a NullPointerException.
3. Will a blank line to appear.
Question 68.
A demon Thread group
1. has only demon threads.
2. can have non demon threads.

3. does not exist after all non demon threads in the group have finished executing.
4. does not exist after all the threads in the group have finished executing.
Question 69.
Assume that th is an instance holding a thread object. th.start() causes
the thread to start running and eventually complete its execution. The
object reference by th is not accessable any more and is garbage

Question 70.
Read the code below carefully.
import java.io.*;
public class OutOut
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
{
PrintStream pr = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("outfile"));
System.out = pr;
System.out.println("Lets see what I see now??");
}
}

1. The code causes a compiler error. out is a declared final in System and cannot be
assigned to pr.
2. The code causes a runtime Exception due the assignment to a final variable.
3. The code compiles and runs success fully. A file called "outfile" is created and
"Lets see what I see now??" is printed in the same.
Question 71.
Read the following piece of code carefully
public abstract class AbstractClass

public AbstractClass()
{
System.out.println("this is an abstract class constructor!");
}

public void aMethod()

{
System.out.println("This is in the method in the abstract class");
}
}

Attempting to compile and run the code will cause

1. Compiler error - abstract classes cannot have constructors.
2. Compiler error - the method AbstractClass does not have a valid return type.
3. Compiler error - the class cannot be declared as abstract as it does not have any
unimplemented methods.
4. No compiler error - the class is practically not an abstract class and can be
instantiated.
5. No compiler error - the class cannot be instantiated directly. It has to be extended
to an non-abstract class. The constructors of the extended class will call the
constructor of the abstract class (implicitly or explicitly).
6. No compiler error - the class cannot be instantiated directly. It has to be extended
to an non-abstract class. The constructors of the abstract class will never be called.
Question 72.
Read the following piece of code carefully.

{
throw new IOException();
}
}

Assume that the defination of Question72E begins with the line

public class Question72E extends Question72

It is required that none of the constructors of Question72E should

throw any checked exception.
1. It can be achived by placing the call to the superclass with a super keyword ,
which is placed in a try block with a catch block to handle the IOException
thrown by the super class.
2. It can be achived by avoiding explicit calls to the base class constructor.
3. It cannot be done in the Java Laungage with the above definition of the base class.
Question 73.

Read the following piece of code carefully. (This is an extention to

question 72.)
public abstact class Question73 extends Question72
{
public abstract void method();
}

An attempt to compile the above class definition

1. will cause a compiler error - non-abstract classes cannot be extended to abstract
classes.
2. will cause a compiler error - a constructor must be provided which may or may
not throw an IOException
3. will cause a compiler error - a constructor must be provided which must throw an
IOException or one of its super types.
4. will not cause any compiler error. The class definition is perfectly legal.
Question 74.
Read the following piece of code carefully.
class Base
{
Base()
{
System.out.println("Message 1 : In the base class constructor");
}
}
abstract class Derived1 extends Base
{
Derived1()
{
System.out.println("Message 2 : In the abstract class Derived1\'s
constructor");
}
}
public class Derived2 extends Derived1
{
public Derived2()
{
System.out.println("Message 3 : In the derived2 class\'s
constructor.");
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Derived2 d2 = new Derived2();

}
}

An attempt to compile and run the above code

1. will cause a compiler error. The non-abstract classes cannot be extended to the
abstract classes.
2. will cause a compiler error. The abstract classes cannot have constructors
defined.
3. will not cause any compiler error. The lines "Message 1..." and "Message 3 ... "
are printed on the screen.
4. will not cause any compiler error. The lines "Message 1..." and "Message 2...."
and Message 3...." are printed on the screen.
Question 75.
Read the following piece of code carefully.
public class A
{
A()
{
}
}

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

The class A can be referenced outside the package in which it is defined.

The class A cannot be instantiated outside the package in which it is defined.
The class A cannot be extended outside the package in which it is defined.
The class A can be referenced, instantiated or extended anywhere.
The above code will cause a compiler error. The constructors of public class have
to be public.

Question 77.
If the finalize() method of an object is re-references an object so that
it becomes in-eligible for garbage collection
1. The compiler will throw an error.
2. The garbage collector "collects" the object anyway.
3. The garbage collector does not collect the object in the present sweep. But when
the object becomes eligible for garbage collection again, its finalize method will
not be called by the garbage collector (i.e., if the garbage collector gets a chance
to run.). It will simply be garbage collected.
4. The object can never be garbage collected and hence leads to memory-leak. Each
time the garbage collector calls finalize before "collecting" the object the object
"resurrects" itself.

Question 78.
If a Runtime Exception is thrown in the finalize method 1.
2.
3.
4.

The running application crashes.

The exception is simply ignored and the object is garbage collected.
The exception is simply ignored, but the object is not garbage collected.
The Exception causes the JVM to crash.

Question 79.
The factory class java.util.Collections
1. is public
2. implements the java.util.Collection interface.
Question 80.
import java.io.*;
public class TransientWriter implements Externalizable
{
private transient String s = "Hope I can ever be persistant!";
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput oOut) throws IOException
{
oOut.writeObject(s);
}
public void readExternal(ObjectInput oIn) throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException
{
s=(String)oIn.readObject();
}
public String toString()
{
return s;
}
}
class K
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException,
ClassNotFoundException
{
TransientWriter tw = new TransientWriter();
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new

FileOutputStream("tw.out"));
out.writeObject(tw);
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new
FileInputStream("tw.out"));
TransientWriter tw2 = (TransientWriter) in.readObject();
System.out.println(tw2);
}
}

Attempting to compile and run the above code

1. will cause a compiler error due to the attempt to write a transient object.
2. will cause a runtime exception when an attempt is made to write a transient
object.
3. will not cause any runtime error and the transient object is writen to the file
named "tw.out".
4. will not cause any runtime error and the transient object is not written to the file
named "tw.out". The program prints a blank line on the screen.
The following code is for Questions 81 and 82
//Contents of File AnInterface.java
public interface AnInterface
{
public void methodOne() throws Exception;
}

//Contents of File AnInterfaceImpl.java

public class AnInterfaceImpl implements AnInterface
{
public void methodOne()
{
System.out.println("I will never throw an exception");
}
}

Question 81.
Read the code below carefully.
public class ATest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
AnInterface ai = new AnInterfaceImpl();

ai.methodOne();
}

Attempting to compile and run the above code

1.

Will cause a compile time error. (Line 5 : Exception must be caught or thrown
by main(String))
2.
Will cause a compile time error for Class AnInterfaceImpl. The method
methodOne() be declared with "throws Exception".
3.
Will cause no compile time error and print "I will never throw and Exception
the screen".
4.
Will Cause a run time error .
Question 82.
Read the code below carefully.
public class ATest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
AnInterfaceImpl ai = new AnInterfaceImpl();
ai.methodOne();
}
}
Attempting to compile and run the above code
1.
Will cause a compile time error. (Line 5 : Exception must be caught or
thrown by main(String))
2.
Will cause a compile time error for Class AnInterfaceImpl. The method
methodOne() be declared with "throws Exception".
3.
Will cause no compile time error and print "I will never throw and Exception
the screen".
4.
Will Cause a run time error .

Question 83
Read the code below carefully
//Contents of Constants.java
public class Constants
{
public static final String greetingString="Hello";
}
//Contents of SomeClass.java
public class SomeClass
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Greeting String is "+Constants.greetingString);
}
}

The Constants.java file is edited and the greetingString is changed to "Hello

World!". The file after editing is shown below.
public class Constants
{
public static final String greetingString="Hello World!";
}
On Compilation of Constants.java and running of the application gives. (Note : The
client class SomeClass is not compiled)
1.
A RuntimeException due to incompatable change in class Constants
2.
An Error due to incompatable change in class Constants
3.
The program terminates normally and "Hello" is printed on the system
console.
4.
The program terminates normally and "Hello World!" is printed on the
system console.

Question 84.
Read the code below carefully
import java.util.*;
public class AllFinals
{
final Vector v;
public AllFinals()
{
}
}

The above code will

1. Not compile. Vector v is not initialized.
2. Will compile and throw a RuntimeException
3. Will compile and not throw any Exception during runtime. V is initalized to null.

Question 85.
import java.util.*;
public class AllFinals
{
{
final Vector v;
v=new Vector();
}
public AllFinals()
{
}
public void someMethod()
{

System.out.println(v.isEmpty());
}

An attempt to compile and call the someMethod of the above class at

runtime will cause
1.
2.
3.
4.

A compilation error : v is not initialized in all constructors

A compilation error : v is not an instance variable
"true" is printed on the console
"false" is printed on the console

Question 86.
//Contents of File AllFinals.java
import java.util.*;
public class AllFinals
{
final Vector v;
public AllFinals()
{
v=new Vector();
}
public AllFinals(int i)
{
}
public void someMethod()
{
System.out.println(v.isEmpty());
}
}

An attempt to compile the above code will cause

1. A compilation error : The final variable is not initialized in all the constructors.
2. A compilation error : The final instance variable is reassigned after initialization
in the constructor
3. No compilation error : But will cause a run time exception
(NullPointerException) if someMethod is called on an instance that was created
through the constructor with the integer argument.
4. A compilation error : The final instance variable is not initialized in the
declaration

Question 87.

public class A
{
final StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("I am final");
public A()
{
}
public StringBuffer getSb()
{
return this.sb;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A a = new A();
StringBuffer localSB = a.getSb();
localSB.append("....");
localSB = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(localSB.toString());
}
}

Attempting to compile and run the above application will yield

1. A compilation error : Final variable being assigned to a non-final handle.
2. A compilation error : implicitly final localSB being reassigned
3. A Runtime Error : Attempted reassignment to a final handle (localSB)
4. No Errors during compilation and execution. An Empty line is printed on the
console.

Question 88.
public class A
{
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("I am final");
public A()
{
}
public final StringBuffer getSb()
{
return this.sb;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A a = new A();
StringBuffer localSB = a.getSb();
localSB.append("....");
localSB = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(localSB.toString());
}
}

Attempting to compile and run the above application will yeild

1. A compilation error : Final variable being assigned to a non-final handle.

2. A compilation error : implicitly final localSB being reassigned

3. A Runtime Error : Attempted reassignment to a final handle (localSB)
4. No Errors during compilation and execution. An empty line is printed on the
console.

Question 89.
public class A
{
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer("I am final");
public A()
{
}
public StringBuffer getSb()
{
return this.sb;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A a = new A();
final StringBuffer localSB = a.getSb();
localSB.append("....");
localSB = new StringBuffer();
System.out.println(localSB.toString());
}
}

Attempting to compile and run the above application will yeild

1. A compilation error : non final variable being assigned to a final handle.
2. No Errors during compilation and execution. "I am final...." is printed on the
console.
3. A compilation error : final localSB being reassigned
4. A Runtime Error : Attempted reassignment to a final handle (localSB)

Question 90.
//contents of file A.java
public class A
{
A()
{
class B
{

static
{
}

System.out.println("I am getting loaded");

}
A(int i)
{
System.out.println("No B this time");
}
}
class C
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A a = new A(1);
}
}

Attemping to compile and execute the above Code

1. Compilation error : Inner class inside method cannot have static members or
blocks
2. Compilation error : Inner classes cannot be delared inside constructors
3. No compilation error : At runtime Class B is not loaded
4. No compilation error : At runtime class B is loaded and the message "I am getting
loaded" is printed on the console.

Question 91.
Read the following code excerpt carefully. //Contents of file A.java public
class A
{
A()
{

class B
{
{
}

System.out.println("I am in no-arg constructor");

A(int i)
{
class B
{
{
}

System.out.println("I am in the arg constructor");

}
new B();

}
class C
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
A a = new A(1);
}
}

Which of the following are true

1. A.java cannot be compiled. Duplicate defination of inner class B.
2. A.java compiles without any error. An attempt to run C as an application will
cause runtime linkage error. Duplicate definations of inner class B are found
3. Only one class file corresponding to the inner class B is created in the file system.
4. Two class files corresponding to both inner classes (B) is created in the file
system.
5. The classes compile cleanly and on running C as an application causes "I am in
the arg constructor" to be printed on the console
