Informatics Practices - MCQ on Concept of Inheritance
Class XII
Q.1 The feature of Java in which a class can inherit the property of other class is
a) overriding.
b) overloading.
c) inheritance.
d) class.
Answer:
c)
Explanation:
º Inheritance is technique of organizing the information in a hierarchical form.
º It allows new classes to be built from older and less specialized classes instead of being rewritten from scratch.
Q.2 The base class is also known as
a) Parent class.
b) Child class.
c) Derive class.
d) Class.
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
Base Class
º Basically, it is the existing class from which a new class can be derived.
º A base class is also known as Super Class/ Parent Class.
Q.3 The keyword used by a derive class to recognize its base class is
a) abstract.
b) extendz.
c) extends.
d) interface.
Answer:
(d)
Explanation:
º A derive class has to identify its base class.
º In java, the base class name has to be included in derive class definition.
º A derive class has to define the keyword extends along with the Base class name.
Q.4 Type of inheritance supported by java is
a) Single Inheritance.
b) Double Inheritance.
c) Multiple Inheritances.
d) Class Inheritance.
Answer:
a)
Explanation:
When a subclass is derived simply from its parent class then this mechanism is known as simple inheritance. In case of simple inheritance, there is only a subclass and its parent class. It is also called single inheritance or one level inheritance.
Q.5 Suppose there are three classes: Computer, Apple Computer and IBM Computer, the relationship between these classes is
a) Computer is the superclass; AppleComputer and IBMComputer are subclasses of Computer.
b) IBMComputer is the superclass; AppleComputer and Computer are subclasses of IBMComputer.
c) Computer, AppleComputer and IBMComputer are sibling classes.
d) Computer is a superclass, AppleComputer is a subclass of Computer and IBMComputer is a subclass of AppleComputer.
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
º The Computer is a super class.
º IBM and Apple are their subclasses.
º So, IBM and Apple are inheriting there feature.

a) class Coke is a SoftDrink.
b) class Coke implements SoftDrink.
c) class Coke defines SoftDrink.
d) class Coke extends SoftDrink.
Answer:

Explanation:
A derive class is defined by using the keyword extends along with the Base class name.
Q.7 A subclass can inherit
a) only member variables.
b) methods.
c) both member variables and methods.
d) only variables not the member function.
Answer:
(c)
Explanation:
Yes, a subclass can inherit data member and member function both but it is basically depend on there datatype/access specifiers.
Q.8 A disadvantage of using inheritance is
a) Code that is shared between classes needs to be written only once.
b) Similar classes can be made to behave consistently.
c) Enhancements to a base class will automatically be applied to derived classes.
d) One big superclass can be used instead of many little classes.
Answer:
(d)
Explanation:
º Inheritance is a technique of building new classes from the existing classes is called inheritance.
º It allows new classes to be built from older and less specialized classes instead of being rewritten from scratch.
Q.9 A class Animal has a subclass Mammal. So, we can say that
a) Mammalcan have no subclasses.
b) Mammalcan have no siblings.
c) Animal can have only one subclass.
d) Mammalcan have no other parent than Animal.
Answer:
(d)
Explanation:
Java doesn’t support the concept of multiple inheritances, which means a class can have just one superclass and not more than one superclass.
Q.10 A class Car and its subclass Honda City both have a method run() which was written by the programmer as a part of the class definition. If junker refers to an object of type Honda City, then the statement that is true for junker.show(); is
a) show() method defined in Honda City will be called.
b) show() method defined in Carwill be called.
c) the compiler will complain that run() has been defined twice.
d) overloading will be used to pick run().
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
If the super class have a function with a same signature (same name, number and argument type) as in the sub class, then you try to use the method without explicity specifying its parent class name, only the subclass member would be invoked.
Q.11 The feature of java that shows the real world model is
a) inheritance.
b) abstract class.
c) interface.
d) base class.
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
º Inheritance is everywhere in real life. You inherited your parent’s genes and acquired physical attributes from both of them.

º A Derive class may itself be a Base class from which additional class can be derived.
º A derive class is also known as Sub Class/ Child Class.
Q.13 The Base class
a) variable can be modified.
b) function can be modified.
c) variables can be modified, but not the function.

Q.15 In java, every class can have
a) one immediate class.
b) class.
c) more than one immediate class.
d) no immediate class.

Explanation:
Every class in java has one immediate class/ direct superclass, but might have several subclasses.
Q.16 Reusability feature comes under the concept of
a) interface.
b) abstract class.
c) inheritance
d) class.
Answer:
(c)
Explanation:
The concept of inheritance provides the idea of reusability. This means that we can add additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is possible by deriving a new class from the existing one. The new class will have the combined features of both the classes.
Q.17 The direct superclass of all the classes in java is
a) base class.
b) abstract class.
c) derive class.
d) object class.
Answer:

a) additive property.
b) transitive property.
c) transparent property.
d) visible property.

Q.21 When the same name of variable and method comes in class, this property is known as
a) overloading.
b) overmethod.
c) overribbing.
d) overriding.

Q.24 The final variables are
a) static.
b) dynamic.
c) correct.
d) define.
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
You may also declare variables to be final. This is not the same thing as declaring a method or class to be final. When a field is declared final, it is constant or static, i.e., which cannot be changed. It can be set once. Attempts to change it will generate either a compile-time error or an exception.
Q.25 A final subclass method cannot be
a) overriden.

a) overwritten.
b) overloaded.
c) extended.
d) superclass.
Answer:
(c)
Explanation:
º A final class cannot be extended.

Q.27 Final Variable, method, classes are used for
a) interface.
b) security.
c) abstract class.
d) class.
Answer:
(b)
Explanation:

a) class A extends B { … }
b) class B extends A { … }
c) class A extends A { … }

Q.61 A concrete superclass is the one whose objects can be/cannot be
a) declared & created.
b) declared.
c) created.
d) declared & created.
Answer:
(a)
Explanation:
A concrete superclass is the one whose objects can be declared and created. Sometimes, we need to define a superclass having general characteristics and behaviour of its subclasses, but no object of such class should be defined as the class depicts a concept only.
