b) There will be an output “Super class's parameterized constructor”
c) Line 16 will throw an exception
d) Compiler will give an error message for line 16

a) Default Constructor is private in superclass
b) Default constructor is not private in superclass but it can not be called explicitly from
constructor of its base class
c) Constructors are not inherited, so class SubClass does not inherit class SuperClass’s
constructor. However, SuperClass’s constructors are still available to SubClasses so there will
be no error

with just writing super keyword and parethesis: super()
36. If we don’t write any constructor for SubClass:

a) There will be an error message
b) Java implicitly calls the SubClass’s default constructor and then SuperClass’s default or no-
argument constructor.

constructor will be to call SuperClass’s constructor

d) It is your choice; if you use the annotation, the method is overridden, if you don’t , method
with same signature is made in the subclass class but is not overridden.

6. class SubClass extends SuperClass{
7. void myMethod(){
8. myMethod();
9. System.out.println(" subclass version of
myMethod");
10. }
11. }
a) Compilation Error because @Override is not used while overriding myMehtod() in SubClass
b) Compilation Error because two methods with same signatures can not exist in a Superclass
and its subclass
c) It will cause the SubClass method myMwthod() to call itself, potentially creating an error
called infinite recursion
d) It will print:” superclass version of myMethod subclass version of myMethod”

a) A class can directly inherit from class Object.
b) It's often much more efficient to create a class by inheriting from a similar class than to
create the class by writing every line of code the new class requires.
c) A class's instance variables are normally declared private to enforce good software
engineering.
d) If the class you're inheriting from declares instance variables as private, the inherited class
can access those instance variables directly.

following is true?
a) It is needed, but the left and right hand sides of the assignment should be swapped, so

21.When does Java know an object is no longer needed? And what happens
to an unneeded object's storage?
a) The programmer tells Java when an object is no longer needed by
calling dispose() on it; the object's memory is released back to the
memory pool.
b) If there are no references to the object, Java knows the object is no
longer needed and automatically returns its memory to the memory
pool.
c) If there are no references to the object, Java marks it as no longer
needed; the memory stays in use until the programmer explicitly
returns it to the memory pool.
d) Objects, once constructed, stay active until the program terminates,
so thought he programmer may know an object is it no longer
needed, Java does not know this; objects' memory is returned to the
memory pool when the program terminates.
e) Objects, once constructed, stay active until the method in which
they were constructed terminates, so though the programmer may
know an object is no longer needed, Java does not know this;
objects' memory is returned to the memory pool when the method
terminates.

to false if n is odd? (n is an integer.) Assume n >= 0. (Even numbers are
those integers which, when divided by 2, have a remainder of 0.)
I. boolean even = (n/2.0 == (double)(n/2));
II. boolean even = (n % 2 == 0);
III. boolean even = (n div 2 == 0);
IV. boolean even = (n % 2 == n/2);
a) I only D. III and IV only

b) I and II only E. I, II and IV only
c) II and III only
23. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the boolean

expression
!(A < 5 && B != C)
a) A > 5 || B != C
b) A >= 5 && B == C
c) !(A < 5) || (B != C)
d) A >= 5 || B == C
e) A < 5 && B == C
