1.16. Invoking a method by passing the objects of a class is termed as ______.

1. Call by reference

2. Call by value

3. Call by method

4. Call by constructor

Solution

Invoking a method by passing the objects of a class is termed as Call by reference.

Explanation:

Passing an argument as an object acts as a call by reference since only one copy of
the object is shared by both the caller and the called method.

1.17. The correct statement to create an object named mango of class fruit:

1. Fruit Mango = new fruit();

2. fruit mango = new fruit();

3. Mango fruit = new Mango();

4. fruit mango = new mango();

Solution

fruit mango = new fruit();

Explanation:

The class and object names should be the same, as specified in the query.
1.18. Assertion (A): Static method can access static and instance variables.

Reason (R): Static variables can be accessed only by static method.

1. Assertion and Reason both are correct.

2. Assertion is true and Reason is false.

3. Assertion is false and Reason is true.

4. Assertion and Reason both are false.

Solution

Assertion and Reason both are false.

Explanation:

The static method can only access itself, whereas an instance variable can be
accessed through a class object. Thus, we can conclude that static methods cannot
access instance variables without the assistance of an object.

In contrast, static variables can be immediately accessed by both static and instance
methods.

1.19. What is the output of the Java code given below?

String color [ J = {"Blue", "Red", "Violet"}; System.out.println(color[2].length();

1. 6

 b.

2.7. Differentiate between boxing and unboxing.

Solution

• Boxing is the process of changing a primitive datatype into an object of a

corresponding wrapper class, whereas

• Unpacking is the process of returning a wrapper class object to its primitive

state.

2.8. The following code to compare two strings is compiled, the following syntax error
was displayed - incompatible types - int cannot be converted to boolean.

Identify the statement which has the error and write the correct statement. Give the
output of the program segment.

Solution

-4

Reason:

compareTo() gives the ASCII difference between the first two dissimilar characters
present in the string, but if any one of the strings ends early, then it returns the
difference of the length.

2.9. Consider the given program and answer the questions given below:
 a. What concept of OOPs is depicted in the above program with two
constructors?

b. What is the output of the method main()?

(ii) System.out.println(x[3].length{ )); ,

Answers:
(a) Inheritance in java is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties
and behaviors of parent object.

The idea behind inheritance in java is that you can create new classes that are built
upon existing classes. When you inherit from an existing class, you can reuse methods
‘and fields of parent class, and you can add new methods and fields also.
(b) (i) Comparison operator
(ii) Unary operator
(iii) Logical operator
(iv) Ternary operator

(c) The char data occupies two bytes whereas int data type occupies four bytes.
(d) The / operator is used for division whereas % operator is used to find the remainder.

incrementing as 6, 24 and upon incrementing the value to 42, the loop will terminate.
Accordingly the loop has to execute two times.
But within the loop there is a condition : if(a%b = =0) break;
This means when remainder on dividing a by b comes out to be 0 (at 24/4 = 0), the
condition breaks and from the above it is clear that value of a is incremented from 6 to
24 when the loop executes second time.

(e) 75 F

Example: Consider the number 59.
Sum of digits = 5 + 9 = 14
Product of its digits = 5 x 9 = 45
Sum of the sum of digits and product of digits= 14 + 45 = 59
Write a program to accept a two-digit number. Add the sum of its digits to the product of
its digits. If the value is equal to the number input, output the message “Special 2-digit
number” otherwise, output the message “Not a Special 2-digit number”. [15]

Design a class to overload a function area() as follows:

(i) double area(double a, double b, double c) with three double arguments, returns the
area of a scalene triangle using the formula:

area = ( − )( − )( − )

where s =

(ii) double area(int a, int b, int height) with three integer arguments, returns the area of a
trapezium using the formula:

area = height (a+b)

(iii) double area(double diagonal1, double diagonal2) with two double arguments, returns
the area of a rhombus using the formula:

area = (diagonal1 × diagonal2) [15]

Question 8.

Using the switch statement, write a menu driven program to calculate the maturity amount
of a Bank Deposit.
The user is given the following options:
(i) Term Deposit
(ii) Recurring Deposit
For option (i) accept principal(P), rate of interest(r) and time period in years(n). Calculate

and output the maturity amount (A) receivable using the formula A= P 1+
For option (ii) accept Monthly Installment (P), rate of interest(r) and time period in months
(n). Calculate and output the maturity amount(A) receivable using the formula
( )
A=P×n+P× × ×

For an incorrect option, an appropriate error message should be displayed. [15]
