Q:

A boat loaded with rocks floats in the middle of a swimming pool. A man in the boat throws the rocks overboard. The level of water in the pool will

A) increase B) decrease
C) remains the same D) first decrease and then increase
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) decrease

Explanation:

Let M and m grams be the mass of boat + rock in it. By law of floatation(M+m) grams of water will be displaced. This has a volume of (M+m)cc. That means the level of water in pool has risen up by (M+m)cc with the boat + rock when it is floating. If the rocks in the boat are thrown not into the pool but outside, the weight left is only M grams the weight of the boat. This will have displaced M cc of water only i.e less water than in the case of loaded boat. But if the rocks are put in the water in the pool and not outside, then the water in the pool will rise not only by M cc on account of empty boat but also by a volume of the stone put into it. This volume will be mdwhere m is the mass of rock and d density of rock.

Now md is  < m. Thus the total rise will be M+mdwhich is < M + m.

Q:

What is the output after compile and run the following code ?

int Output = 10;
boolean b = false;
if((b == true) && ((Output += 10) == 20))
{
System.out.println("We are equal " + Output);
}
else
{
System.out.println("Not equal! " + Output);
}

A) Compilation and output of "We are equal 10" B) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10"
C) Compilation error, attempting to perform binary comparison on logical data type D) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 20"
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10"

Explanation:

The output will be "Not equal! 10". Please note that && is logical AND operator. If first operand before (&&) is false then the other operand will not be evaluated. This illustrates that the Output +=10 calculation was never performed because processing stopped after the first operand was evaluated to be false. If you change the value of b1 to true, processing occurs as you would expect and the output would be "We are equal 20".
