C. 3 and 1
D. 3 and 2
Ans : C
Explanation: obj is the reference variable here and an object will be created each
time A() is called.So there will be 3 objects created.
3. Which of the following is False with respect Python code?
class Student:
def __init__(self,id,age):
self.id=id
self.age=age
std=Student(1,20)
A. "std" is the reference variable for object Student(1,20)

B. id and age are called the parameters.
C. Every class must have a constructor.
Ans : C
Explanation: It is not mandatory for a class to have a constructor.
4. What will be the output of below Python code?
class Student:
def __init__(self,name,id):
self.name=name
self.id=id
print(self.id)
std=Student("Simon",1)
std.id=2
print(std.id)
A. 1
1
B. 1
2
C. 2
1
D. 2
2
Ans : B
Explanation: When object with id =1 is created for Student, constructor is invoked
and it prints 1. Later, id has been changed to 2, so next print statement prints 2.

class A():
def __init__(self,count=100):
self.count=count
obj1=A()
obj2=A(102)
print(obj1.count)
print(obj2.count)
A. 100
100
B. 100
102
C. 102
102
D. Error
Ans : B
Explanation: By default,the value of "count" is 100, so obj1.count=100. For
second object, value of "count" is 102, so obj2.count=102.
6. Which of the following is correct?
class A:
def __init__(self,name):
self.name=name
a1=A("john")
a2=A("john")
A. id(a1) and id(a2) will have same value.

B. id(a1) and id(a2) will have different values.
C. Two objects with same value of attribute cannot be created.
Ans : B
Explanation: Although both a1 and a2 have same value of attributes,but these two
point to two different object. Hence, their id will be different.
class A:
def __init__(self):
self.count=5
self.count=count+1
a=A()
print(a.count)
A. 5
B. 6
C. 0
D. Error
Ans : D
Explanation: It will throw an error as inside constructor, "count" is not defined.
class Book:
def __init__(self,author):
self.author=author
book1=Book("V.M.Shah")
book2=book1
A. Both book1 and book2 will have reference to two different objects of class Book.
B. id(book1) and id(book2) will have same value.
C. It will throw error as multiple references to same object is not possible.
Ans : B
Explanation: book1 and book2 will reference to the same object. Hence, id(book1)
and id(book2) will have same value.
9. In python, what is method inside class?
A. attribute
B. object
C. argument
D. function
Ans : D
Explanation: In OOP of Python, function is known by "method".
class A:
def __init__(self,num):
num=3
self.num=num
def change(self):
self.num=7
a=A(5)
print(a.num)
a.change()
print(a.num)
A. 5
7
B. 5
5
C. 3
3
D. 3
7
Ans : D
Explanation: Inside constructor, self.num=3. First print statement prints 3. As,
method change() is invoked, self.num=7 and hence second print statement prints
7.
11. Which of these is not a fundamental features of OOP?

a) Encapsulation
b) Inheritance
c) Instantiation
d) Polymorphism
Answer: c
Explanation: Instantiation simply refers to creation of an instance of class. It is not
a fundamental feature of OOP.
12. Which of the following is the most suitable definition for encapsulation?
a) Ability of a class to derive members of another class as a part of its own definition
b) Means of bundling instance variables and methods in order to restrict access to
certain class members
c) Focuses on variables and passing of variables to functions
d) Allows for implementation of elegant software that is well designed and easily
modified
Answer: b
Explanation: The values assigned by the constructor to the class members is used to
create the object.
class Demo:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.__b = 1
def display(self):
return self.__b
obj = Demo()print(obj.a)
a) The program has an error because there isn’t any function to return self.a
b) The program has an error because b is private and display(self) is returning a
private member
c) The program runs fine and 1 is printed
d) The program has an error as you can’t name a class member using __b
Answer: c
Explanation: The program has no error because the class member which is public is
printed. 1 is displayed. Execute in python shell to verify.
class Demo:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.__b = 1
def display(self):
return self.__b
obj = Demo()print(obj.__b)
private member
c) The program has an error because b is private and hence can’t be printed
d) The program runs fine and 1 is printed
Answer: c
Explanation: Variables beginning with two underscores are said to be private
members of the class and they can’t be accessed directly.
15. Methods of a class that provide access to private members of the class are called
as ______ and ______
a) getters/setters
b) __repr__/__str__
c) user-defined functions/in-built functions
d) __init__/__del__
Answer: a
Explanation: The purpose of getters and setters is to get(return) and set(assign)
private instance variables of a class.
16. Which of these is a private data field?
def Demo:def __init__(self):

__a = 1
self.__b = 1
self.__c__ = 1
__d__= 1
a) __a
b) __b
c) __c__
d) __d__
Answer: b
Explanation: Variables such as self.__b are private members of the class.
class Demo:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.__b = 1
def get(self):
return self.__b
obj = Demo()print(obj.get())
private member
c) The program has an error because b is private and hence can’t be printed
d) The program runs fine and 1 is printed
Answer: d
Explanation: Here, get(self) is a member of the class. Hence, it can even return a
private member of the class. Because of this reason, the program runs fine and 1 is
printed.
class Demo:
def __init__(self):
self.a = 1
self.__b = 1
def get(self):
return self.__b
obj = Demo()
obj.a=45print(obj.a)
a) The program runs properly and prints 45
b) The program has an error because the value of members of a class can’t be changed
from outside the class
c) The program runs properly and prints 1
d) The program has an error because the value of members outside a class can only be
changed as self.a=45
Answer: a
Explanation: It is possible to change the values of public class members using the
object of the class.
19. Private members of a class cannot be accessed.

a) True
b) False
Answer: b
Explanation: Private members of a class are accessible if written as follows:
obj._Classname__privatemember. Such renaming of identifiers is called as name
mangling.
20. The purpose of name mangling is to avoid unintentional access of private class
members.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Explanation: Name mangling prevents unintentional access of private members of a
class, while still allowing access when needed. Unless the variable is accessed with its
mangled name, it will not be found.
class fruits:
def __init__(self):
self.price = 100
self.__bags = 5
def display(self):
print(self.__bags)
obj=fruits()
obj.display()
a) The program has an error because display() is trying to print a private class member
b) The program runs fine but nothing is printed
c) The program runs fine and 5 is printed
d) The program has an error because display() can’t be accessed
Answer: c
Explanation: Private class members can be printed by methods which are members
of the class.
class student:
def __init__(self):
self.marks = 97
self.__cgpa = 8.7
def display(self):
print(self.marks)
obj=student()print(obj._student__cgpa)
a) The program runs fine and 8.7 is printed
b) Error because private class members can’t be accessed
c) Error because the proper syntax for name mangling hasn’t been implemented
d) The program runs fine but nothing is printed
Answer: a
Explanation: Name mangling has been properly implemented in the code given
above and hence the program runs properly.
23. Which of the following is false about protected class members?

a) They begin with one underscore
b) They can be accessed by subclasses
c) They can be accessed by name mangling method
d) They can be accessed within a class
Answer: c
Explanation: Protected class members can’t be accessed by name mangling.
class objects:
def __init__(self):
self.colour = None
self._shape = "Circle"
def display(self, s):
self._shape = s
obj=objects()print(obj._objects_shape)
a) The program runs fine because name mangling has been properly implemented
b) Error because the member shape is a protected member
c) Error because the proper syntax for name mangling hasn’t been implemented
d) Error because the member shape is a private member
Answer: b
Explanation: Protected members begin with one underscore and they can only be
accessed within a class or by subclasses.
25. Which feature of OOP indicates code reusability?

a) Encapsulation
b) Inheritance
c) Abstraction
d) Polymorphism
Answer: b
Explanation: Inheritance indicates the code reusability. Encapsulation and
abstraction are meant to hide/group data into one element. Polymorphism is to
indicate different tasks performed by a single entity.
26. If a function can perform more than 1 type of tasks, where the function name
remains same, which feature of OOP is used here?
a) Encapsulation
b) Inheritance
c) Polymorphism
d) Abstraction
Answer: c
Explanation: For the feature given above, the OOP feature used is Polymorphism.
Example of polymorphism in real life is a kid, who can be a student, a son, a
brother depending on where he is.
27. If different properties and functions of a real world entity is grouped or embedded
into a single element, what is it called in OOP language?
a) Inheritance
b) Polymorphism
c) Abstraction
d) Encapsulation
Answer: d
Explanation: It is Encapsulation, which groups different properties and functions of
a real world entity into single element. Abstraction, on other hand, is hiding of
functional or exact working of codes and showing only the things which are
required by the user.
28. Which of the following is not a feature of pure OOP?

a) Classes must be used
b) Inheritance
c) Data may/may not be declared using object
d) Functions Overloading
Answer: c
Explanation: Data must be declared using objects. Object usage is mandatory
because it in turn calls its constructors, which in turn must have a class defined. If
object is not used, it is a violation of pure OOP concept.
29. Which among the following doesn’t come under OOP concept?
a) Platform independent
b) Data binding
c) Message passing
d) Data hiding
Answer: a
Explanation: Platform independence is not feature of OOP. C++ supports OOP but
it’s not a platform independent language. Platform independence depends on
programming language.
30. Which feature of OOP is indicated by the following code?
class student{ int marks; };class topper:public student{ int age; topper(int
age){ this.age=age; } };
a) Inheritance
b) Polymorphism
c) Inheritance and polymorphism
d) Encapsulation and Inheritance
Answer: d
Explanation: Encapsulation is indicated by use of classes. Inheritance is shown by
inheriting the student class into topper class. Polymorphism is not shown here
because we have defined the constructor in the topper class but that doesn’t mean
that default constructor is overloaded.
31. Which feature may be violated if we don’t use classes in a program?
a) Inheritance can’t be implemented
b) Object must be used is violated
c) Encapsulation only is violated
d) Basically all the features of OOP gets violated
Answer: d
Explanation: All the features are violated because Inheritance and Encapsulation
won’t be implemented. Polymorphism and Abstraction are still possible in some
cases, but the main features like data binding, object use and etc won’t be used
hence the use of class is must for OOP concept.
32. How many basic features of OOP are required for a programming language to be
purely OOP?
a) 7
b) 6
c) 5
d) 4
Answer: a
Explanation: There are 7 basic features that define whether a programing language is
pure OOP or not. The 4 basic features are inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation
and abstraction. Further, one is, object use is must, secondly, message passing and
lastly, Dynamic binding.
33. The feature by which one object can interact with another object is
_____________
a) Data transfer
b) Data Binding
c) Message Passing
d) Message reading
Answer: c
Explanation: The interaction between two object is called the message passing
feature. Data transfer is not a feature of OOP. Also, message reading is not a
feature of OOP.
34. ___________ underlines the feature of Polymorphism in a class.

a) Nested class
b) Enclosing class
c) Inline function
d) Virtual Function
Answer: d
Explanation: Virtual Functions can be defined in any class using the keyword
virtual. All the classes which inherit the class containing the virtual function, define
the virtual function as required. Redefining the function on all the derived classes
according to class and use represents polymorphism.
35. Which feature in OOP is used to allocate additional function to a predefined

operator in any language?
a) Operator Overloading
b) Function Overloading
c) Operator Overriding
d) Function Overriding
Answer: a
Explanation: The feature is operator overloading. There is not a feature named
operator overriding specifically. Function overloading and overriding doesn’t give
addition function to any operator.
36. Which among doesn’t illustrates polymorphism?

a) Function overloading
b) Function overriding
c) Operator overloading
d) Virtual function
Answer: b
Explanation: Function overriding doesn’t illustrate polymorphism because the
functions are actually different and theirs scopes are different. Function and
operator overloading illustrate proper polymorphism. Virtual functions show
polymorphism because all the classes which inherit virtual function, define the
same function in different ways.
37. Exception handling is a feature of OOP.

a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Explanation: Exception handling is a feature of OOP as it includes classes concept
in most of the cases. Also it may come handy while using inheritance.
38. Which among the following, for a pure OOP language, is true?
a) The language should follow 3 or more features of OOP
b) The language should follow at least 1 feature of OOP
c) The language must follow only 3 features of OOP
d) The language must follow all the rules of OOP
Answer: d
Explanation: The language must follow all the rules of OOP to be called a purely
OOP language. Even if a single OOP feature is not followed, then it’s known to be
a partially OOP language.
39. Does OOP provide better security than POP?

a) Always true for any programming language
b) May not be true with respect to all programming languages
c) It depends on type of program
d) It’s vice-versa is true
Answer: a
Explanation: It is always true as we have the facility of private and protected access
specifiers. Also, only the public and global data are available globally or else the
program should have proper permission to access the private data.
40. Which among the following best describes polymorphism?

a) It is the ability for a message/data to be processed in more than one form
b) It is the ability for a message/data to be processed in only 1 form
c) It is the ability for many messages/data to be processed in one way
d) It is the ability for undefined message/data to be processed in at least one way
Answer: a
Explanation: It is actually the ability for a message / data to be processed in more
than one form. The word polymorphism indicates many-forms. So if a single entity
takes more than one form, it is known as polymorphism.
41. What do you call the languages that support classes but not polymorphism?
a) Class based language
b) Procedure Oriented language
c) Object-based language
d) If classes are supported, polymorphism will always be supported
Answer: c
Explanation: The languages which support classes but doesn’t support
polymorphism, are known as object-based languages. Polymorphism is such an
important feature, that is a language doesn’t support this feature, it can’t be called
as a OOP language.
42. Which among the following is the language which supports classes but not
polymorphism?
a) SmallTalk
b) Java
c) C++
d) Ada
Answer: d
Explanation: Ada is the language which supports the concept of classes but doesn’t
support the polymorphism feature. It is an object-based programming language.
Note that it’s not an OOP language.
43. If same message is passed to objects of several different classes and all of those
can respond in a different way, what is this feature called?
a) Inheritance
b) Overloading
c) Polymorphism
d) Overriding
Answer: c
Explanation: The feature defined in question defines polymorphism features. Here
the different objects are capable of responding to the same message in different
ways, hence polymorphism.
44. Which class/set of classes can illustrate polymorphism in the following code?
abstract class student{

public : int marks;
calc_grade();}class topper:public student{
public : calc_grade()
{
return 10;
}};class average:public student{
public : calc_grade()
{
return 20;
}};class failed{ int marks; };
a) Only class student can show polymorphism
b) Only class student and topper together can show polymorphism
c) All class student, topper and average together can show polymorphism
d) Class failed should also inherit class student for this code to work for
polymorphism
Answer: c
Explanation: Since Student class is abstract class and class topper and average are
inheriting student, class topper and average must define the function named
calc_grade(); in abstract class. Since both the definition are different in those
classes, calc_grade() will work in different way for same input from different
objects. Hence it shows polymorphism.
45. Which type of function among the following shows polymorphism?

a) Inline function
b) Virtual function
c) Undefined functions
d) Class member functions
Answer: b
Explanation: Only virtual functions among these can show polymorphism. Class
member functions can show polymorphism too but we should be sure that the same
function is being overloaded or is a function of abstract class or something like this,
since we are not sure about all these, we can’t say whether it can show
polymorphism or not.
46. In case of using abstract class or function overloading, which function is supposed
to be called first?
a) Local function
b) Function with highest priority in compiler
c) Global function
d) Function with lowest priority because it might have been halted since long time,
because of low priority
Answer: b
Explanation: Function with highest priority is called. Here, it’s not about the thread
scheduling in CPU, but it focuses on whether the function in local scope is present
or not, or if scope resolution is used in some way, or if the function matches the
argument signature. So all these things define which function has the highest
priority to be called in runtime. Local function could be one of the answer but we
can’t say if someone have used pointer to another function or same function name.
47. Which among the following can’t be used for polymorphism?

a) Static member functions
b) Member functions overloading
c) Predefined operator overloading
d) Constructor overloading
Answer: a
Explanation: Static member functions are not property of any object. Hence it can’t
be considered for overloading/overriding. For polymorphism, function must be
property of object, not only of class.
48. What is output of the following program?
class student{
public : int marks;
void disp()
{
cout<<”its base class”
};
class topper:public student
{
public :
void disp()
{
cout<<”Its derived class”;
}
}
void main() { student s; topper t;
s.disp();
t.disp();}
a) Its base classIts derived class
b) Its base class Its derived class
c) Its derived classIts base class
d) Its derived class Its base class
Answer: a
Explanation: You need to focus on how the output is going to be shown, no space
will be given after first message from base class. And then the message from
derived class will be printed. Function disp() in base class overrides the function of
base class being derived.
49. Which among the following can show polymorphism?

a) Overloading ||
b) Overloading +=
c) Overloading <<
d) Overloading &&
Answer: c
Explanation: Only insertion operator can be overloaded among all the given options.
And the polymorphism can be illustrated here only if any of these is applicable of
being overloaded. Overloading is type of polymorphism.
50. Find the output of the following program.
class education{
char name[10];
public : disp()
{
cout<<”Its education system”;
}
class school:public education
{
public: void dsip()
{
cout<<”Its school education system”;
}
};
void main()
{
school s;
s.disp();
}}
a) Its school education system
b) Its education system
c) Its school education systemIts education system
d) Its education systemIts school education system
Answer: a
Explanation: Notice that the function name in derived class is different from the
function name in base class. Hence when we call the disp() function, base class
function is executed. No polymorphism is used here.
51. Polymorphism is possible in C language.
a) True
b) False
Answer: a
Explanation: It is possible to implement polymorphism in C language, even though it
doesn’t support class. We can use structures and then declare pointers which in turn
points to some function. In this way we simulate the functions like member functions
but not exactly member function. Now we can overload these functions, hence
implementing polymorphism in C language.
52. Which problem may arise if we use abstract class functions for polymorphism?
a) All classes are converted as abstract class
b) Derived class must be of abstract type
c) All the derived classes must implement the undefined functions
d) Derived classes can’t redefine the function
Answer: c
Explanation: The undefined functions must be defined is a problem, because one may
need to implement few undefined functions from abstract class, but he will have to
define each of the functions declared in abstract class. Being useless task, it is a
problem sometimes.
53. Which among the following is not true for polymorphism?

a) It is feature of OOP
b) Ease in readability of program
c) Helps in redefining the same functionality
d) Increases overhead of function definition always
Answer: d
Explanation: It never increases function definition overhead, one way or another if
you don’t use polymorphism, you will use the definition in some other way, so it
actually helps to write efficient codes.
54. If 2 classes derive one base class and redefine a function of base class, also
overload some operators inside class body. Among these two things of function and
operator overloading, where is polymorphism used?
a) Function overloading only
b) Operator overloading only
c) Both of these are using polymorphism
d) Either function overloading or operator overloading because polymorphism can be
applied only once in a program
Answer: d
Explanation: Both of them are using polymorphism. It is not necessary that
polymorphism can be used only once in a program, it can be used anywhere, any
number of times in a single program.

(A) TRUE
(B) FALSE
Answer:B
Explanation: Special methods are automatically called during object creation.
Q. __del__ method is used to destroy instances of a class.
(A) TRUE
(B) FALSE

Q. What will be the output of below Python code?

class Student:
def __init__(self,name,id):
self.name=name
self.id=id
print(self.id)
std=Student("Simon",1)
std.id=2
print(std.id)
A. 1
1
B. 1
2
C. 2
1
D. 2
2
Ans : B
Explanation: When object with id =1 is created for Student, constructor is invoked and
it prints 1. Later, id has been changed to 2, so next print statement prints 2.
Q. What will be the output of below Python code?

class A():
def __init__(self,count=100):
self.count=count
obj1=A()

print(obj2.count)
A. 100
100
B. 100
102
C. 102
102
D. Error
Ans : B
Explanation: By default,the value of "count" is 100, so obj1.count=100. For second

object, value of "count" is 102, so obj2.count=102.
Q. In python, what is method inside class?
A. attribute
B. object
C. argument
D. function
Ans : D
