o Answer: C. All AWT components (like [Link]) are heavyweight and platform-
dependent, while Swing components are lightweight.
88. If a class is declared as

abstract, what does this primarily prevent?

A. It prevents any of its methods from being overridden. B. It prevents the class from being
instantiated (no objects can be created).

C. It prevents the class from containing any non-abstract methods. D. It prevents the class from
inheriting from any superclass.

o Answer: B. An abstract class acts as a template or base for inheritance, and therefore cannot
be used to create concrete objects.
89. When reading a single line of text from a standard input device (keyboard) using the old

DataInputStream, what is the returned data type before conversion?

A. char B. int C. byte D.

String

o Answer: D. Java I/O methods like readLine() return data in the form of a String, which
must then be converted to numerical types if needed.
90. What feature allows a single name (like a method name) to execute different operations based on
context or arguments (compile-time polymorphism)?

A. Encapsulation B. Inheritance C. Overloading

D. Overriding

o Answer: C. Polymorphism via Overloading (compile-time) uses the same name with
different signatures.
91. What is the meaning of the

public keyword in the main method signature (public static void main(...))?

A. It defines the entry point of the program. B. It ensures the method is accessible from outside the
class, allowing the JVM to start execution.

C. It prevents the method from returning any value. D. It specifies that the method is shared by all
objects.

o Answer: B. public is an access modifier ensuring wide visibility.

92. In a multithreaded environment, if two threads are created in the same way, what determines the
order in which the threads execute?

A. The order in which the run() methods are defined. B. The explicit calling of join() on both
threads. C. The Thread Scheduler, based on priority and the underlying OS/JVM policy.

D. The order in which the Thread objects are declared.

o Answer: C. Thread execution order is controlled by the Thread Scheduler, which manages
concurrent access to the CPU.
93. The purpose of using the

super keyword followed by parentheses (super(...)) inside a subclass constructor is to:

A. Call the current class's overloaded constructor. B. Explicitly invoke the constructor of the
immediate superclass.

C. Implement the abstract methods of an interface. D. Access a static variable in the immediate
parent class.

o Answer: B. super() is used to call a parent class's constructor, ensuring proper initialization
of inherited fields.
94. What happens if an Applet program tries to take input directly from the standard keyboard (

[Link])?

A. The program compiles successfully and reads the input. B. The operation is typically prohibited
due to security restrictions.

C. A NullPointerException is thrown at compile time. D. The Applet automatically switches to a

full Java application mode.

o Answer: B. Applets cannot use standard I/O (keyboard, file system) directly due to the
security sandbox.
95. In JDBC, what is the role of the
 ResultSet object's getString(String columnName) method?

A. It converts a database string to a numerical type. B. It executes a SELECT query that returns only
string data. C. It retrieves the value of the specified column from the current row as a Java String.

D. It prepares the SQL statement for retrieval.

o Answer: C. The method reads the data from the column in the current ResultSet row and
returns it as a Java String.
96. Which method is commonly used to introduce a visible pause or delay in a scrolling banner Applet
animation?

A. yield() B. wait() C.

sleep()

D. stop()

o Answer: C. The sleep() method is used to pause the current thread's execution for a
specific duration, necessary for controlling animation speed.
97. Which of the following is NOT a feature or component offered by the

Java Swing package?

A. JTable B. JColorChooser C. JSpinner D. Pointers (Memory Access)

o Answer: D. Java, including Swing, does not support pointers.

98. The mechanism of using a dedicated network of servers to handle many concurrent client requests
(e.g., millions of Gmail users) is an application of:

A. Simple Recursion B. Multithreaded/Distributed Computing

C. Single-Tier Architecture D. Synchronous I/O

o Answer: B. Handling billions of simultaneous users requires powerful multithreaded and

distributed server architecture.
99. When using the

RandomAccessFile class, which method is used to move the file pointer to a specific, arbitrary byte
position within the file?

A. move(int pos) B. skipBytes(int n) C.

seek(long pos)

D. read(byte[] b)

o Answer: C. The seek() method is the explicit function for random pointer positioning.
100. If a class is declared as final, what is the consequence for any attempt to inherit from it?

A. Only non-final methods can be inherited. B. Only methods using the protected modifier can be
overridden. C. The class can be instantiated only once. D. The class cannot be extended (no
subclasses are allowed).

Answer: D. A final class cannot serve as a superclass.
