Q5.
Answer: B. equals()
Explanation: The equals() method compares the contents
of strings, while == compares references (memory
addresses).
Q6.
Answer: A. do-while loop

hierarchy. Every class has Object as a superclass.
Q12.
Answer: C. extends

class in Java.
Q13.
Answer: B. ArithmeticException
Explanation: Java throws an ArithmeticException when
dividing by zero.
Q14.
Answer: B. Thread
Explanation: To create a thread by extending, we use the
Thread class.
Q15.
Answer: C. Executes always
Explanation: The finally block always executes after the

Q20.
Answer: B. HashSet
Explanation: HashSet is a collection that does not allow
duplicate elements.
Section 3: Java MCQs (Q21–Q30)
Q21.
Answer: B. 12
Explanation: ++x increments x before multiplication. So +
+x becomes 6, and 6 * 2 = 12.
Q22.

"b".
Q23.
Answer: C. v

Q24.
Answer: B. 3
Explanation: arr.length gives the number of elements in

Q25.
Answer: A. abc
Explanation: Strings are immutable in Java. concat("def")
creates a new string, but s remains unchanged.
Q26.
Answer: "Exception"
Explanation: 10 / 0 causes an ArithmeticException,
caught by the catch block, printing "Exception".
Q27.
Answer: B. B
Explanation: Key 1 is overwritten with value "B", so
map.get(1) returns "B".
Q28.
Answer: A. Running

Q29.
Answer: C. NotSerializableException is thrown
Explanation: If MyClass does not implement Serializable,
