Question 1

What is polymorphism in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

The process of restricting access to certain members of a class.

The ability to inherit properties from a base class.

The mechanism of wrapping data and methods into a single unit.

The ability to use the same function name for different functionalities.

Question 2

What are the types of polymorphism in OOP?

Public and Private

Single and Multiple

Static and Dynamic

Inheritance and Encapsulation

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of compile-time polymorphism?

Interfaces

Abstract Classes

Function Overloading

Function Overriding

Question 4

What is the difference between method overloading and method overriding?

Overloading is runtime polymorphism, overriding is compile-time polymorphism

Overloading happens in a subclass, overriding happens in the same class

Overloading requires inheritance, overriding does not

Overloading occurs in the same class, overriding occurs in a derived class

Question 5

Which statement about polymorphism is correct?

Polymorphism allows multiple classes to have the same properties.

Polymorphism enables a function to be used for different types of objects.

Polymorphism is only applicable to function overloading.

Polymorphism prevents method overriding.

Question 6

What is the key feature of runtime polymorphism?

Method overloading

No inheritance required

Compile-time resolution

Dynamic method dispatch

Question 7

Which of the following statements about function overloading and function overriding is correct?

Function overloading requires inheritance, while function overriding does not

Function overriding does not support dynamic binding

Function overloading is resolved at compile-time, while function overriding is resolved at runtime

Function overloading occurs at runtime, while function overriding occurs at compile time

Question 8

What is method overriding in Java?

Making a method static

Defining a method with the same name and parameters in a child class

Changing the return type of an existing method

Declaring a new method with the same name in the same class

Question 9

Which keyword is used in Java to prevent method overriding?

static

super

final

abstract

Question 10

What will be the output of the following Java program?

class A {
    void display() { System.out.println("Class A"); }
}
class B extends A {
    void display() { System.out.println("Class B"); }
}
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        A obj = new B();
        obj.display();
    }
}

Compilation Error

Class A

Class B

Runtime Error

Question 11

Which of the following statements is true about operator overloading in C++?

It is a type of compile-time polymorphism

It is achieved using function overloading

It allows redefining how operators work for user-defined types

All of the above

Question 12

In C++, which keyword is used to achieve runtime polymorphism?

virtual

static

friend

override

Question 13

What is an abstract class in Java?

A class that cannot be instantiated

A class that must contain at least one abstract method

A class that allows method overriding

All of the above

Question 14

How does Java implement runtime polymorphism?

Virtual function table (vtable)

Dynamic method dispatch

Early binding

Function overloading

Question 15

What is a virtual function in C++?

A function that is resolved at runtime

A function that supports operator overloading

A function that cannot be overridden

A function with no implementation

Question 16

What is the role of the vtable in C++?

It speeds up compile-time polymorphism.

It stores pointers to virtual functions.

It prevents method overriding.

It stores a list of all functions in a class.

Question 17

Which keyword in Java is used to call the parent class method explicitly in method overriding?

override

parent

base

super

Question 18

What will be the output of the following program?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

public:
    virtual void show() { cout << "Base"; }
};
class Derived : public Base {
public:
    void show() { cout << "Derived"; }
};
int main() {
