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:

The finally block always executes except when the JVM exits using System.exit(). It can exist
without a catch block and may contain a return statement, though this is not recommended.

QUESTION 2:

What will be the output of the following Java program?

interface A {
int x = 10;
void display();
}
class B implements A {
public void display() {
System.out.println("Value of x: " + x);
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
B obj = new B();
obj.display();
}
}

a. Value of x: 10

b. Value of x: 0

c. Compilation Error

d. Runtime Error

Correct Answer:

a. Value of x: 10

Detailed Solution:

Variables in interfaces are public, static, and final by default. Hence, the value of x is accessible
in the display method.

QUESTION 3:

What will be the output of the following program?

class NPTEL {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
int a = 5;
int b = 0;
System.out.println(a / b);
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
System.out.print("Error ");
} finally {
System.out.print("Complete");
}
}
}

a. 5 Complete

b. Error Complete

c. Runtime Error

d. Compilation Error

Correct Answer:

b. Error Complete

Detailed Solution:

An ArithmeticException is caught in the catch block, which prints “Error”. The finally block
executes afterward, printing “Complete”.

QUESTION 4:

Which of the following is TRUE regarding abstract class and an interface in Java?

I. Abstract classes can contain constructors, but interfaces cannot.

II. Interfaces support multiple inheritance, but abstract classes do not.
III. Abstract classes can have both abstract and concrete methods, whereas interfaces only had
abstract methods before Java 8.

a. I, II and III

b. II only

c. I and II only

d. II and III only

Correct Answer:

a. I, II and III

Detailed Solution:

Abstract classes can have constructors and concrete methods. Interfaces support multiple inheritance.
Before Java 8, interfaces could only contain abstract methods, but now they can include default and
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:

c. Interfaces can extend multiple interfaces.

Detailed Solution:

In Java, an interface can extend multiple interfaces. Interfaces can also contain public, static,
and final variables, but they cannot be instantiated directly.

QUESTION 9:

What will be the output of the following code?

interface Demo {
void display();
}

class Test implements Demo {

public void display() {
System.out.println("Hello, NPTEL!");
}
}

public class Main {

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

a. Hello, NPTEL!

b. Compilation Error

c. Runtime Error

d. No Output

Correct Answer:

a. Hello, NPTEL!

Detailed Solution:

The Test class implements the Demo interface and provides a definition for the display method.
When display() is called, it prints “Hello, NPTEL!”.

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) {
result = value * value;
System.out.print("Square: " + result + " ");
}
}

class Cube extends Square {

public void calculate(int value) {
result = value * value * value;
super.calculate(value);
System.out.print("Cube: " + result + " ");
}
}

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Calculator obj = new Cube();
obj.calculate(3);
}
}

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".
