View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: variable ‘y’ is not accessible due to its access level.
Output :

Change private y to public y

6. What will be the output of the following C# code?

```
 class sum   
```
```
 {
```
```
     public int x;
```
```
     public int y;
```
```
     public  int add (int a,  int b)
```
```
     {
```
```
         x = a + b;
```
```
         y = x + b;
```
```
         return 0;
```
```
     }
```
```
 }    
```
```
 class Program
```
```
 {
```
```
     static void Main(string[] args)
```
```
     {
```
```
         sum obj1 = new sum();
```
```
         sum obj2 = new sum();   
```
```
         int a = 2;
```
```
         obj1.add(a,  a + 1);
```
```
         obj2.add(5,  a);
```

         Console.WriteLine(obj1.x + "  " + obj2.y);

```
         Console.ReadLine();
```
```
     }
```
```
 }
```

a) 6, 9
b) 5, 9
c) 9, 10
d) 3, 2
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Here, a = 2, a + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3.
So, a = 2, b = 3.
x = 2 + 3 = 5.
y = 5 + 3 = 8.
Similarly, a = 5, b = a + 1 = 4.
y = 5 + 4 = 9.
Output :

5, 9

7. What will be the output of the following C# code?

```
 class math
```
```
 {
```
```
     public int a,b;
```
```
     public math(int i,  int j)
```
```
     {
```
```
         a = i;
```
```
         b = j;
```
```
     }
```
```
     public  void sum(math m)
```
```
     {
```
```
         m.a *= 2;
```
```
         m.b += 2;
```
```
     }
```
```
 }    
```
```
 class Program
```
```
 {
```
```
     static void Main(string[] args)
```
```
     {
```
```
         math t = new math(20,  10);
```
```
         t.sum(t);
```

         Console.WriteLine(t.a + "  " + t.b);

```
         Console.ReadLine();
```
```
     }
```
```
 }
```

a) 10, 20
b) 20, 10
c) 40, 12
d) 5, 40
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: t.sum(t) sends object ‘t’ as parameter whose variables a & b are multiplied and added by 2 respectively by sum() function of class math. Hence, a & b become 40 and 12 respectively.
Output :

 40, 12
