B. 0 1 2 3 4 5
C. 0 1 2 3 4
D. Compilation error

17. • Answer: C. 0 1 2 3 4Explanation: The loop starts from i = 0 and
continues until i < 5. Therefore, it prints 0 to 4 (exclusive of 5).

18. • What is the output of the following code?
•
• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. Compilation error
• D. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

19. • Answer: B. 3Explanation: Arrays in Java are zero-indexed, so arr[2]
accesses the third element, which is 3.

20. • What will be the output of the following code?
• A. JAVA
• B. Java
• C. Java
• D. Compilation error

21. • nswer: A. JAVAExplanation: The toUpperCase() method converts all

• C. A try block must always be followed by both catch and finally
blocks.
• D. A catch block can exist without a try block

23. • Answer: B. A try block can be followed by either a catch or a finally

• A. Methods must always return a value.
• B. Methods can be overloaded.
• C. The return statement is optional for methods with a return type.
• D. Methods cannot have the same name in a class.

25. • Answer: B. Methods can be overloaded.
Explanation: Method overloading allows multiple methods in a class
with the same name but different parameter lists. A method must
return a value if it has a return type, and methods can have the same
name as long as their parameter lists differ.

• A. 10
• B. 20
• C. Compilation error
