56. You are developing a banking application that requires a BankAccount class. This class should
include a static variable interestRate, which is the same for all accounts, and a final variable
accountNumber, which is unique for each account and cannot be changed after the account is
created.
Tasks:
 Implement the BankAccount class with the interestRate as a static variable and
accountNumber as a final variable.
 Write a method calculateInterest() that calculates the interest based on the balance and
interestRate. This method should be accessible to all instances but must refer to the
shared static interestRate.
 Analyze the significance of using final and static in this context. Explain how these
modifiers impact the behavior of the BankAccount class, focusing on immutability,
shared resources, and performance.
57. Consider a scenario where you need to implement a utility class MathUtils that provides
common mathematical operations such as finding the maximum of two numbers, the power of
a number, and calculating factorials. This class should be designed in such a way that it cannot
be inherited, and all the methods should be static since they belong to the class rather than any
specific instance.
Tasks:
a. Design the MathUtils class, making sure it cannot be subclassed and all its methods
(e.g., max, power, factorial) are static.
 b. Explain why making the methods static is appropriate for this utility class. Discuss the
advantages and any potential limitations.
c. Analyze the implications of marking the class as final. How does this decision affect the
design and future extensibility of the class?
58. You are tasked with developing a software for a university's course registration system. The
system includes a Student class and a Course class. The Student class has attributes like name,
studentID, and registeredCourses. The Course class has attributes like courseName, courseID,
and maxCapacity.
 Public Method:registerForCourse(Course course) in the Student class that allows a student
to register for a course if they meet the criteria.
 Protected Method:checkEligibility(Course course) in the Student class that checks whether
the student is eligible to register for a course (e.g., they haven’t exceeded their credit limit).
 Private Method:addCourseToStudentRecord(Course course) in the Student class that adds
the course to the student's record and is only accessible internally.
59. Develop a Java program to create and manage a thread that performs file I/O operations (e.g.,
reading data from one file and writing it to another). Handle exceptions appropriately and
ensure the program supports multithreading.
60. Develop a Java program to demonstrate thread synchronization using the `synchronized`
keyword. Create a scenario where multiple threads access a shared resource, and synchronize
the access to prevent data inconsistency
