Question 1(xiv)
What will be the output of the following code?
System.out.println("Lucknow".substring (0, 4));

a) Lucknow
b) Luckn
c) Luck
d) luck

Answer
Luck
Reason — The substring() method returns a substring beginning from the
startindex and extending to the character at index endIndex - 1. Since a string index
begins at 0, the character at startindex (0) is 'L' and the character at the endIndex
(4-1 = 3) is 'k'. Thus, "Luck" is extracted and printed on the screen.

Reason — Assertion (A) is true as the return statement causes program control to
transfer back to the caller of the method. Reason (R) is also true as the return
statement immediately terminates the method in which it is executed and the
control transfers back to the caller method. Thus, Reason (R) correctly explains
Assertion (A).

Question 1(xx)
Correct statement to declare an integer array of 10 elements.

a) int[ ] arr = new int[10];

b) int arr;
c) int arr (10);
d) int ( ) arr = new int (10);

Answer
int[ ] arr = new int[10];
Reason — The correct syntax to declare an array is as follows:
datatype[ ] array_name = new datatype[size];
The statement int[ ] arr = new int[10]; follows the correct syntax of array declaration.

Question 2(i)
Write the values of c and d after execution of following code.
 Mock Test

Grade: 10 TotalMarks: 40
Subject: Computer Applications Duration: 50mins

int a = 1;
int b = 2;
int c;
int d;
c = ++b;
d = a++;
c++;
Answer
After the execution of the code, c = 4 and d = 1.
Explanation

Statement Remarks

c = ++b; Prefix operator first increments and then uses the value. Thus, c = 3, b = 3

d = a++; Postfix operator first uses and then increments the value. Thus, d = 1, a = 2

c=c+1
c++; =3+1
=4

Question 2(ii)
Observe the following code and write how many times will the loop execute?
a = 5;
b = 2;
while(b != 0)

Loop terminates as b = 0

Question 2(iii)
Write the values that will be assigned to x, y and t after executing the following code.
String s1, s2, x, y;
int t;
s1 = "classxii";
s2 = "cbseboard";
x = s1.substring(5, 8);
y = s2.concat(s1);
t = y.length();
System.out.println("x=" + x);
System.out.println("y=" + y);
System.out.println("t=" + t);
Answer
Output
x=xii
y=cbseboardclassxii
t=17
Explanation
The substring() method returns a substring beginning from the startindex and extending to the character at
index endIndex - 1. Here, startindex is 5 and end index is 7 (8 - 1). Since the string starts from index 0, the
extracted substring is "xii". Thus x = xii.
The concat() method adds one string (s1) at the end of another string (s2). Thus, "classxii" is added to the end
of "cbseboard". Hence, y = "cbseboardclassxii.
The length() method returns the total number of characters in a string. Thus, t = 17.
Question 2(iv)
Write the values that will be stored in variables num and sum after execution of the following code.

Question 2(ix)
Give the output of the following expression, when a = 6.
a += ++a + a++ + a-- + a-- + --a + ++a
Answer
The output will be 46.
Explanation
a += ++a + a++ + a-- + a-- + --a + ++a [a = 6]
a = a + (++a + a++ + a-- + a-- + --a + ++a) [a = 6]
a = 6 + (7 + a++ + a-- + a-- + --a + ++a) [a = 7]
a = 6 + (7 + 7 + a-- + a-- + --a + ++a) [a = 8]
a = 6 + (7 + 7 + 8 + a-- + --a + ++a) [a = 7]
a = 6 + (7 + 7 + 8 + 7 + --a + ++a) [a = 6]
a = 6 + (7 + 7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + ++a) [a = 5]
a = 6 + (7 + 7 + 8 + 7 + 5 + 6) [a = 6]

Answer
 Mock Test
2023-24

Grade: 10 TotalMarks: 40
Subject: Computer Applications Duration: 50mins

(a) 11.25
(b) 3.0
Explanation
(a) Math.pow(x, y) method returns the value of x raised to the power of y. Math.ceil() method returns the
smallest double value that is greater than or equal to the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer.
Thus, the given expression is evaluated as follows:
Math.pow(2.5, 2) + Math.ceil(5)
⇒ 6.25 + 5.0
⇒ 11.25
(b) Math.round() method rounds off its argument to the nearest mathematical integer and returns its value as an
int or long type. Math.log() method returns the natural logarithm of its argument. Thus, the given expression is
evaluated as follows:
Math.round(2.9) + Math.log(1)
⇒ 3 + 0.0
⇒ 3.0
