b) float
c) void
d) double
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Return type of an method must be made void if it is not returning any value.

2. What is the process of defining more than one method in a class differentiated by method signature?
a) Function overriding
b) Function overloading
c) Function doubling
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Function overloading is a process of defining more than one method in a class with same name differentiated by function signature i:e return type or parameters type and number. Example – int volume(int length, int width) & int volume(int length , int width , int height) can be used to calculate volume.

3. Which of the following is a method having same name as that of it’s class?
a) finalize
b) delete
c) class
d) constructor
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: A constructor is a method that initializes an object immediately upon creation. It has the same name as that of class in which it resides.

d) private method
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: main() method can be defined only once in a program. Program execution begins from the main() method by java’s run time system.

5. Which of these statement is incorrect?
a) All object of a class are allotted memory for the all the variables defined in the class
b) If a function is defined public it can be accessed by object of other class by inheritation
c) main() method must be made public
d) All object of a class are allotted memory for the methods defined in the class
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: All object of class share a single copy of methods defined in a class, Methods are allotted memory only once. All the objects of the class have access to methods of that class are allotted memory only for the variables not for the methods.
