  16.  }

a) A
b) B
c) Compile time error
d) Runtime error

a) A
b) B
c) AB
d) BA
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The inner try block does not have a catch which can tackle IndexOutOfRangeException hence finally is executed which prints ‘A’. The outer try block does have catch for IndexOutOfBoundException exception but no such exception occurs in it hence its catch is never executed and only ‘A’ is printed.
