a) Aggregation
b) Compostion
c) Encapsulation
d) Association
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Aggregation occurs when objects have their own life cycle and child object can associate with only one
parent object.

10. Method overriding is combination of inheritance and polymorphism?

a) True
b) false
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In order for method overriding, method with same signation in both superclass and subclass is required
with same signature. That satisfies both concepts inheritance and polymorphism.

a) Private constructor ensures only one instance of a class exist at any point of time
b) Private constructor ensures multiple instances of a class exist at any point of time
c) Private constructor eases the instantiation of a class
d) Private constructor allows creating objects in other classes
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Object of private constructor can only be createed withing class. Private constructor is used in singleton
pattern.

2. What would be the behaviour if this() and super() used in a method?

a) Runtime error
b) Throws exception
c) compile time error
d) Runs successfully
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: this() and super() cannot be used in a method. This throws compile time error.

3. What is false about constructor?

a) Constructors cannot be synchronized in Java
b) Java does not provide default copy constructor
c) Constructor can be overloaded
d) “this” and “super” can be used in a constructor
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Default, parameterised constructors can be defined.

4. What is true about Class.getInstance()?

a) Class.getInstance calls the constructor
b) Class.getInstance is same as new operator
c) Class.getInstance needs to have matching constructor
d) Class.getInstance creates object if class does not have any constructor
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Class class provides list of methods for use like getInstance().

5. What is true about constructor?

a) It can contain return type
b) It can take any number of parameters
c) It can have any non access modifiers
d) Constructor cannot throw exception
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Constructor returns a new object with variables defined as in the class. Instance variables are newly
created and only one copy of static variables are created.

6. Abstract class cannot have a constructor.

a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: No instance can be created of abstract class. Only pointer can hold instance of object.

7. What is true about protected constructor?

a) Protected constructor can be called directly
b) Protected constructor can only be called using super()
c) Protected constructor can be used outside package
d) protected constructor can be instantiated even if child is in a differnt package
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Protected access modifier means that constructor can be accessed by child classes of the parent class
and classes in the same package.

8. What is not the use of “this” keyword in Java?

a) Passing itself to another method
b) Calling another constructor in constructor chaining
c) Referring to the instance variable when local variable has the same name
d) Passing itself to method of the same class
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: “this” is an important keyword in java. It helps to distinguish between local variable and variables
passed in the method as parameters.

9. What would be the behaviour if one parameterized constructor is explicitly defined?

a) Compilation error
b) Compilation succeeds
c) Runtime error
d) Compilation succeeds but at the time of creating object using default constructor, it throws compilation error
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The class compiles successfully. But the object creation of that class gives compilation error.

10. What would be behaviour if constructor has a return type?

a) Compilation error
b) Runtime error
c) Compilation and runs successfully
d) Only String return type is allowed
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation:The constructor cannot have a return type. It should create and return new object. Hence it would give
compilation error.

2. Where is a new object allotted memory?

a) Young space
b) Old space
c) Young or Old space depending on space availability
d) JVM
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A new object is always created in young space.Once young space is full, a special young collection is run
where objects which have lived long enough are moved to old space and memory is freed up in young space for new
objects.

3. Which of the following is a garbage collection technique?

a) Cleanup model
b) Mark and sweep model
c) Space management model
d) Sweep model
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A mark and sweep garbage collection consists of two phases, the mark phase and the sweep phase.I
mark phase all the objects reachable by java threads, native handles and other root sources are marked alive and
others are garbage. In sweep phase, the heap is traversed to find gaps between live objects and the gaps are marked
free list used for allocating memory to new objects.

10Java Questions & Answers – Overloading Methods & Argument Passing

This section of our 1000+ Java MCQs focuses on overloading methods & argument passing in Java Programming
Language.

1. What is process of defining two or more methods within same class that have same name but different
parameters declaration?
a) method overloading
b) method overriding
c) method hiding
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Two or more methods can have same name as long as their parameters declaration is different, the
methods are said to be overloaded and process is called method overloading. Method overloading is a way by which
Java implements polymorphism.

2. Which of these can be overloaded?

a) Methods
b) Constructors
c) All of the mentioned
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: None.

3. Which of these is correct about passing an argument by call-by-value process?

a) Copy of argument is made into the formal parameter of the subroutine
b) Reference to original argument is passed to formal parameter of the subroutine
c) Copy of argument is made into the formal parameter of the subroutine and changes made on parameters of
subroutine have effect on original argument
d) Reference to original argument is passed to formal parameter of the subroutine and changes made on parameters
of subroutine have effect on original argument
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When we pass an argument by call-by-value a copy of argument is made into the formal parameter of
the subroutine and changes made on parameters of subroutine have no effect on original argument, they remain the
same.

1. Which one of the following is not an access modifier?
a) Public
b) Private
c) Protected
d) Void
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Public, private, protected and default are the access modifiers.

2. All the variables of class should be ideally declared as ?

a) private
b) public
c) protected
d) default
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The variables should be private and should be accessed with get and set methods.

3. Which of the following modifier means a particular variable cannot be accessed within the package?
a) private
b) public
c) protected
d) default
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Private variables are accessible only within the class.

4. How can a protected modifier be accessed?

a) accessible only within the class
b) accessible only within package
c) accessible within package and outside the package but through inheritance only
d) accessible by all
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The protected access modifier is accessible within package and outside the package but only through
inheritance. The protected access modifier can be used with data member, method and constructor. It cannot be
applied on the class.

5. What happens if constructor of class A is made private?

a) Any class can instantiate objects of class A
b) Objects of class A can be instantiated only within the class where it is declared
c) Inherited class can instantiate objects of class A
d) classes within the same package as class A can instantiate objects of class A
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: If we make any class constructor private, we cannot create the instance of that class from outside the
class.
6. All the variables of interface should be ?
a) default and final
b) default and static
c) public,static and final
d) protect, static and final
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Variables of an interface are public, static and final by default because the interfaces cannot be
instantiated, final ensures the value assigned cannot be changed with the implementing class and public for it to be
accessible by all the implementing classes.

7. What is true of final class?

a) Final class cause compilation failure
b) Final class cannot be instantiated
c) Final class cause runtime failure
d) Final class cannot be inherited
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Final class cannot be inherited. This helps when we do not want classes to provide extension to these
classes.

8. How many copies of static and class variables are created when 10 objects are created of a class?
a) 1, 10
b) 10, 10
c) 10, 1
d) 1, 1
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Only one copy of static variables is created when a class is loaded. Each object instantiated has its own
copy of instance variables.

9. Can a class be declared with protected modifier?

a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Protected class member (method or variable) is like package-private (default visibility), except that it
also can be accessed from subclasses. Since there is no such concept as ‘subpackage’ or ‘package-inheritance’ in
Java, declaring class protected or package-private would be the same thing.

10. Which is the modifier when there is none mentioned explicitly?

a) protected
b) private
c) public
d) default
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Default is the access modifier when none is defined explicitly. It means the member (method or
variable) can be accessed within the same package

Answer: d
Explanation: Threads t1 & t2 are created by class newthread that is implementing runnable interface, hence both the
threads are provided their own run() method specifying the actions to be taken. When constructor of newthread
class is called first the run() method of t1 executes than the run method of t2 printing 2 times “false” as both the
threads are not equal one is having different priority than other, hence falsefalse is printed.

This set of Java MCQs focuses on “Implementing Runnable interface for Threads”.

1. Which of these method is used to implement Runnable interface?

a) stop()
b) run()
c) runThread()
d) stopThread()
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: To implement Runnable interface, a class needs only to implement a single method called run().

2. Which of these interface is implemented by Thread class?

a) Runnable
b) Connections
c) Set
d) MapConnections
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: None.

3. Which of these method is used to begin the execution of a thread?

Explanation: None.

4. Which of these method waits for the thread to treminate?

a) sleep()
b) isAlive()
c) join()
d) stop()
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: None.

5. Which of these statement is incorrect?

a) A thread can be formed by implementing Runnable interface only
b) A thread can be formed by a class that extends Thread class
c) start() method is used to begin execution of the thread
d) run() method is used to begin execution of a thread before start() method in special cases
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: run() method is used to define the code that constitutes the new thread, it contains the code to be
executed. start() method is used to begin execution of the thread that is execution of run(). run() itself is never used
for starting execution of the thread.

a) true
b) false
c) truetrue
d) falsefalse
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Threads t1 & t2 are created by class newthread that is implementing runnable interface, hence both the
threads are provided their own run() method specifying the actions to be taken. When constructor of newthread
class is called first the run() method of t1 executes than the run method of t2 printing 2 times “false” as both the
threads are not equal one is having different priority than other, hence falsefalse is printed.
Output:
$ javac multithreaded_programing.java
$ java multithreaded_programing
falsefalse

Explanation: None.

2. Which of these method is used to avoid polling in Java?

a) wait()
b) notify()
c) notifyAll()
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Polling is a usually implemented by looping in CPU is wastes CPU’s time, one thread being executed
depends on other thread output and the other thread depends on the response on the data given to the first thread.
In such situation CPU’s time is wasted, in Java this is avoided by using methods wait(), notify() and notifyAll().

3. Which of these method is used to tell the calling thread to give up monitor and go to sleep until some other
thread enters the same monitor?
a) wait()
b) notify()
c) notifyAll()
d) sleep()

a) Generic methods are the methods defined in a generic class
b) Generic methods are the methods that extend generic class’s methods
c) Generic methods are methods that introduce their own type parameters
d) Generic methods are methods that take void parameters
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Generic methods are methods that introduce their own type parameters. This is similar to declaring a
generic type, but the type parameter’s scope is limited to the method where it is declared. Static and non-static
generic methods are allowed, as well as generic class constructors.

2. Which of these type parameters is used for a generic methods to return and accept any type of object?
a) K
b) N
c) T

1. Which of the following contains both date and time?

a) java.io.date
b) java.sql.date
c) java.util.date
d) java.util.dateTime
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: java.util.date contains both date and time. Whereas, java.sql.date contains only date.

2. Which of the following is advantage of using JDBC connection pool?

a) Slow performance
b) Using more memory
c) Using less memory
d) Better performance
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Since the JDBC connection takes time to establish. Creating connection at the application start-up and
reusing at the time of requirement, helps performance of the application.

3. Which of the following is advantage of using PreparedStatement in Java?

a) Slow performance
b) Encourages SQL injection
c) Prevents SQL injection
d) More memory usage
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: PreparedStatement in Java improves performance and also prevents from SQL injection.

4. Which one of the following contains date information?

a) java.sql.TimeStamp
b) java.sql.Time
c) java.io.Time
d) java.io.TimeStamp
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: java.sql.Time contains only time. Whereas, java.sql.TimeStamp contains both time and date.

5. What does setAutoCommit(false) do?

a) commits transaction after each query
b) explicitly commits transaction
c) does not commit transaction automatically after each query
d) never commits transaction
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: setAutoCommit(false) does not commit transaction automatically after each query. That saves lot of
time of the execution and hence improves performance.

6. Which of the following is used to call stored procedure?

a) Statement
b) PreparedStatement
c) CallableStatment
d) CalledStatement
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: CallableStatement is used in JDBC to call stored procedure from Java program.

a) setMaxRows(int i)
b) setMinRows(int i)
c) getMaxrows(int i)
d) getMinRows(int i)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: setMaxRows(int i) method is used to limit the number of rows that the database returns from the
query.

8. Which of the following is method of JDBC batch process?

a) setBatch()
b) deleteBatch()
c) removeBatch()
d) addBatch()
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: addBatch() is a method of JDBC batch process. It is faster in processing than executing one statement at
a time.

9. Which of the following is used to rollback a JDBC transaction?

a) rollback()
b) rollforward()
c) deleteTransaction()
d) RemoveTransaction()
View Answer

Java Questions & Answers – Wildcards

This set of Java Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Wildcards”.

1. Which of these is wildcard symbol?

a) ?
b) !
c) %
d) &
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: In generic code, the question mark (?), called the wildcard, represents an unknown type.

2. What is use of wildcards?

a) It is used in cases when type being operated upon is not known
b) It is used to make code more readable
c) It is used to access members of super class
d) It is used for type argument of generic method
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The wildcard can be used in a variety of situations: as the type of a parameter, field, or local variable;
sometimes as a return type (though it is better programming practice to be more specific). The wildcard is never
used as a type argument for a generic method invocation, a generic class instance creation, or a supertype.

3. Which of these keywords is used to upper bound a wildcard?

a) stop
b) bound
c) extends
d) implements
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: None.

4. Which of these is an correct way making a list that is upper bounded by class Number?
a) List<? extends Number>
b) List<extends ? Number>
c) List(? extends Number)
d) List(? UpperBounds Number)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: None.

5. Which of the following is incorrect statement regarding the use of generics and parameterized types in Java?
a) Generics provide type safety by shifting more type checking responsibilities to the compiler
b) Generics and parameterized types eliminate the need for down casts when using Java Collections
c) When designing your own collections class (say, a linked list), generics and parameterized types allow you to
achieve type safety with just a single class definition as opposed to defining multiple classes
d) All of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: None.

6. Which of the following keywords are used for lower bounding a wild card?
a) extends
b) super
c) class
d) lower
