1. Which of the following is not OOPS concept in Java?

a) Inheritance
b) Encapsulation
c) Polymorphism
d) Compilation
View Answer
Answer: d

Polymorphism and Abstraction.

2. Which of the following is a type of polymorphism in Java?

a) Compile time polymorphism
b) Execution time polymorphism
c) Multiple polymorphism
d) Multilevel polymorphism
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: There are two types of polymorphism in Java. Compile time
polymorphism (overloading) and runtime polymorphism (overriding).

3. When does method overloading is determined?

a) At run time
b) At compile time
c) At coding time
d) At execution time
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Overloading is determined at compile time. Hence, it is also known as
compile time polymorphism.

different number or type of parameters
b) More than one method with same name, same signature but different number of
signature
c) More than one method with same name, same signature, same number of
parameters but different type
d) More than one method with same name, same number of parameters and type
but different signature
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Overloading occurs when more than one method with same name but
different constructor and also when same signature but different number of
parameters and/or parameter type.

5. Which concept of Java is a way of converting real world objects in terms of class?
a) Polymorphism
b) Encapsulation
c) Abstraction
d) Inheritance
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Abstraction is the concept of defining real world objects in terms of
classes or interfaces.

6. Which concept of Java is achieved by combining methods and attribute into a

class?
a) Encapsulation
b) Inheritance
c) Polymorphism
d) Abstraction
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Encapsulation is implemented by combining methods and attribute
into a class. The class acts like a container of encapsulating properties.

7. What is it called if an object has its own lifecycle and there is no owner?
a) Aggregation
b) Composition
c) Encapsulation
d) Association

View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: It is a relationship where all objects have their own lifecycle and there
is no owner. This occurs where many to many relationships are available, instead of
one to one or one to many.

8. What is it called where child object gets killed if parent object is killed?
a) Aggregation
b) Composition
c) Encapsulation
d) Association
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Composition occurs when child object gets killed if parent object gets
killed. Aggregation is also known as strong Aggregation.

9. What is it called where object has its own lifecycle and child object cannot belong
to another parent object?
a) Aggregation
b) Composition
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 signature in both
superclass and subclass is required with same signature. That satisfies both
concepts inheritance and polymorphism.

14. What is the output of the following Java code?
class Person
{
private int age;
private Person()
{
age = 24;
}

{
Person p = new Person();
System.out.println(p.age);
}
}

B Compilation error
C Runtime error
D None of the above
Answer
 B
A private constructor can not be used to initialize an object out of the class that it is
defined within due to it’s no longer accessible to the external class. Here is the output of
the above code:

7. Which of the following is used for implementing inheritance through an interface?

a) inherited
b) using
c) extends
d) implements
View Answer
Answer: d

must implement all the methods of an interface, else it must be declared abstract.

8. Which of the following is used for implementing inheritance through class?

a) inherited
b) using
c) extends
d) implements
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Class can be extended using extends keyword. One class can extend

9. What would be the result if a class extends two interfaces and both have a
method with same name and signature? Lets assume that the class is not
implementing that method.
a) Runtime error
b) Compile time error
c) Code runs successfully
d) First called method is executed successfully
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: In case of such conflict, compiler will not be able to link a method call
due to ambiguity. It will throw compile time error.
