Object Oriented System Design Questions and Answers Foundations of Object Model 1
This section of our 1000+ Object Oriented System Design MCQs focuses on Foundations of
Object Model 1.
1) The method of design encompassing the process of object oriented decomposition and a
notation for depicting both logical and physical and as well as static and dynamic models of the
system under design is known as:
a) Object- Oriented Programming
b) Object- Oriented Design
c) Object- Oriented Analysis
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The definition has two important parts. The former part uses the class and object
abstractions to logically structure systems, and the latter uses algorithmic abstractions. The term
object oriented design (OOD) is used to refer any method that leads to object oriented
decomposition.
2) What is the programming style of the object oriented conceptual model?
a) Invariant relationships
b) Algorithms
c) Classes and objects
d) Goals, often expressed in a predicate calculus.
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Object oriented programming follows a conceptual framework called object model
and is implemented by writing classes and objects to make its style clear unlike procedureoriented language.
3) The essential characteristics of an object that distinguish it from all other kinds of objects and
thus provide crisply defined conceptual boundaries, relative to the perspective of the viewer is
called:
a) Encapsulation
b) Modularity
c) Hierarchy
d) Abstraction
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Abstraction focuses only on the outside view of an object and separates objects
essential behavior from its implementation. It explains what an object does but doesnt explain
how it does.
4) Abstraction is classified into _______ types
a) 4
b) 3
c) 2
d) 1
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Entity abstraction, Action abstraction, Virtual machine abstraction, Coincidental
abstraction
advertisements
5) The process of compartmentalizing the elements of an abstraction that constitute its structure
and behavior is called as
a) Hierarchy
b) Encapsulation
c) Modularity
d) Entity Abstraction
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Encapsulation focuses upon the implementation that gives rise to this behavior and
is mostly often achieved through information hiding i.e., abstraction.
6) Single inheritance, Multiple inheritance, and Aggregation comes under _______
a) Modularity
b) Typing
c) Hierarchy

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: All the three types are the examples of Hierarchy, as it denotes ranking or ordering
of abstractions.
7) In which of the following mechanisms, types of all variables and expressions are fixed at
compilation time.
a) Strong Typing
b) Weak Typing
c) Static Binding/ early binding
d) Dynamic Binding/ late binding
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The memory address of a variable can be statically bound to the variable at compile
time or dynamically at runtime. Likewise, variables in some languages have dynamic types that
change during program execution, while other variables have static types that remain fixed over
the execution of the program. Only the binding of the value determines whether the object is a
variable or something else (such as constant).
8) In which of the following mechanisms, types of all variables and expressions are not known
until runtime
a) Strong Typing
b) Weak Typing
c) Static Binding/ early binding
d) Dynamic Binding/ late binding
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The memory address of a variable can be statically bound to the variable at compile
time or dynamically at runtime. Likewise, variables in some languages have dynamic types that
change during program execution, while other variables have static types that remain fixed over
the execution of the program. Only the binding of the value determines whether the object is a
variable or something else (such as constant).

9) Which of the following statements about Persistence is correct?
a) It is the enforcement of the class of an object, such that objects of different types may not be
interchanged, or at the most they may be interchanged only in very restricted ways.
b) It is the property of an object through which its existence transcends time and/or space.
c) It is the property that distinguishes an active object from one that is not active.
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Persistence deals with lifetime of data. Persistence saves the state and class of an
object across time or space.
10) What is that concept in type theory in which a single name may denote objects of many
different classes that are related by some common super class referred to ______
a) Monomorphism
b) Type Checking
c) Polymorphism
d) Generalization
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Polymorphism is a feature of object oriented programming that usually takes the
ability of creating an object, or variable, or a function in more than one form. Polymorphism
exists when the features of inheritance and dynamic binding interact.
