Answer 1.
(i) (b) encapsulation
Explanation :

Encapsulation is the process of binding together data and methods of objects / entities as
one unit.
(ii) (b) An object
Explanation :

An object is an identifiable entity with a set of attributes, behaviour and state.

(iii) (a) 4 bytes

Explanation :

The float data type in java is of 4 bytes.

(iv) (c) 4
Explanation :

4+8%2
⇒4+0
⇒4
Due to operator precedence 8 % 2 is evaluated first. Its result is 0 so final result is 4.

(v) (c) Comment

Explanation :

/* … */ are used in Java to write multiline comments.

(vi) (c) pow( )
Explanation :

The pow() function returns the value of a number raised to an exponent.

(vii) (a) a compound statement

Explanation :

If multiple statements execute for a condition it is a compound statement.

(viii) (b) 0 times
Explanation :

The loop condition i>100 will never meet as i is getting decremented.

(ix) (d) All of these
Explanation :
A nested while loop can have any of the types of blocks if/for/switch etc.
(x) (a) Stealing jewellery
Explanation :

Stealing jewellery is not related to crime using network and electronic media.
(xi) (a) Instructions only
Explanation :

As Procedure Oriented Programming follows Top-down approach so the focus is on the

steps or instructions to solve a problem.
(xii) (a) Objects
Explanation :

The objects of a class are the ones who can access and invoke the functions of the class.
(xiii) (a) Keyword
Explanation :

While is a keyword in java that is used to create loops.

(xiv) (c) Ternary
Explanation :

The Ternary operator ?: takes more than two operands . It is also called as conditional
operator.
(xv) (c) Abstract Window Toolkit
Explanation :

AWT stands for Abstract Window Toolkit, it is used by applets to interact with the user.
(xvi) (b) 98.0
Explanation :

The Math.floor( ) function returns the lower whole number value of a fractional number.
(xvii) (b) Scalene triangle
Explanation :

Since the conditions imply all the three sides are unequal , the output must be scalene
triangle.
(xviii) (a) Never
Explanation :

The loop will not execute as the value of i starts with 10 and the loop condition is i<10,
which is never met.
(xix) (d) All iterations of outer loop
Explanation :

The inner loop iterates for all iterations of the outer loop.
(xx) (d) All of these
Explanation :

A FOSS is a software that can be freely used , copied and modified.

Answer 2.
 (i) double pr = ( b != q ) ? 100 : 250;
 (ii) Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm which revolves around the
behaviour of an object, and its interactions with other objects and
 classes. In OOP, the program is organised around data or objects rather than functions or procedures.
It follows the design principles of Data Abstraction,
 Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.

(ix) Below is the syntax of nested for loop:
for (<initial value>; <test condition>; <update value>)
{
for (<initial value>; <test condition>; <update value>)
{
executable statement(s)
}
}
(x) When we purchase an original software, we become the licensed user and we get the
right to use it. However, we cannot make copies of this software and load it in other
computers. Thus, when someone copies a software without buying the appropriate license
or copyright, it is known as software piracy. Piracy can come in many forms:
1. Licensed user duplication for unlicensed users.
2. Illegal internet distribution.
