Explanation: The classes are grouped together Explanation: All the methods such as min(),

in Math class are static, and itself it is final
in nature. This means the user can’t derive
new classes from Math. The Math class
can’t be instantiated. The Math class is a
conglomeration of methods and constants for
performing mathematical computations.

ASSERTION AND REASON MCQs

5. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: The Object class is the superclass
for all classes in Java. Because all classes are
derived from Object, the methods defined in
Object are shared by all classes. This results
in a core set of methods that all Java classes
are guaranteed to support. Object includes
methods for making copies of an object, testing
objects for equality, and converting the value
of an object to a string.
6. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: Method is a function which needs
to be called by the objects of a class. A method
contains number of valid Java statements.
Name of the method is different from that of a
class. Method can be static.

CASE-BASED MCQs
7. Option (A) is correct.
Explanation: Primitive data type are those data
types whose meaning are already defined in
Java. There are eight primitive data types.
8. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: Primitive data types are the eight
primitives defined in Java are int, byte, short,
long, float, double, boolean, and char – those
aren’t considered objects and represent raw
values.

9. Option (C) is correct. 10. Option (A) is correct.

Explanation: Arrays are used to hold many Explanation: Data type boolean can only have
values of same type in it. Classes define the a value of true or false. Internal to Java, a
structure of the Java program. An interface in boolean value is a 1-bit logical quantity.
the Java programming language is an abstract
type that is used to specify a behavior that
classes must implement. They are similar to
protocols. Interfaces are declared using the
interface keyword, and may only contain
method signature and constant declarations.

11. For r1: 12. The data type of res is boolean and value of res after
Math.min(- 2.83, -5.83)=-5.83 executing the code will be true.
13. Primitive Data Types – byte, short, int, long, float,
Math.abs(-5.83)= 5.83
double, char, boolean
Thus, r1= 5.83
Composite Data Type – Class and Array
Thus, the value of the variable r1 is 5.83.

14. A class is composed of instance variables which are
of different data types. Hence, a class can be viewed
as a composite data type which is composed of
primitive and other composite data types.
15. The StringTokenizer class provides a means of
converting text strings into individual tokens. By
specifying a set of delimiters, you can parse text
strings into tokens using the StringTokenizer class.
String tokenization is useful in a wide variety of
programs, from compilers to text-based adventure
games.
16. The floor() returns the largest (closest to positive
infinity) double value that is less than or equal to the

syntax is: floor(double a)
The pow() returns the value of the first argument
raised to the power of the second argument. Its

19. The different class packages in Java are as follows:
java.lang – Classes that apply to the language itself,
including the Object class, the String class, and the
System class. It also contains the special classes for
the primitive types (Integer, Character, Float, and
so on).
java.util – Utility classes, such as Date, as well
as simple collection classes, such as Vector and
Hashtable.
java.io – Input and output classes for writing to and
reading from streams (such as standard input and
output) and for handling files.

}
java.net – Classes for networking support, including
Socket and URL (a class to represent references to
documents on the World Wide Web).
java.awt – This is the Abstract Windowing Toolkit.
It contains classes to implement graphical user
interface features, including classes for Window,
Menu, Button, Font, CheckBox, and so on. It also
includes mechanisms for managing system events
and for processing images (in the java.awt.Image
package).
java.applet – Classes to implement Java applets.

5. Option (D) is correct.
Explanation: Public data modifiers can be
accessed from outside the class but private data
modifiers cannot be accessed from outside the
class. These can be used within the class.
6. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: The curly braces determines the
scope of the variable. The reference s vanishes
at the end of the scope. However, the String
object that was pointing to is still occupying
memory. In this bit of code, there is no way to
access the object because the only reference to
it is out of scope.

CASE-BASED MCQs
7. Option (A) is correct.
Explanation: Inheritance is one of the property
of object-oriented programming framework
where one class can be extended and its
variables and methods can be used by the
other class which extended it. The class whose
variables and methods are to be reused is called
base class. The other class using the variables
and methods of its base class is called derived
class.
8. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: The parent which is being
extended so that other classes can use its
variables and methods is called base class or
super class.
9. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: When you extend an existing
class, the new class has all the properties and
methods of the class that you extend. You
supply new methods and data fields that
apply to your new class only. The concept of
extending a class to obtain another class is
called inheritance.
10. Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: The extends keyword is used to
extend the parent class. The derived class can
be able to reuse the behaviours and attributes
of the base class.

14. (i) Linear search scans one item at a time, without
jumping to any item whereas binary search cuts
down the search and find the middle of a sorted list.
(ii) Linear search works for both sorted and unsorted

data.
15. Error 1 : The size of an array is specified using
square brackets [] and not parentheses ().
Error 2 : Since the array is of length 5, the indices
range from 0 to 4. The loop variable i is used as
an index to the array and in the given program
segment,it takes values from 0 to 5. a[5] would
result in an ArrayIndexOutofBounds Exception.
Therefore, the loop condition should be changed to
i<=4. The given program segment creates an array
of size 5 and stores numbers from 0 to 4 in the array.

with an index that is a negative number, Java will
