Exception Handling

I would like to know the possible answers for the following question:
Suppose a MyException should be thrown if Condition() is true,which statements do you have to insert?
1. public aMethod {
2.
3. if (Condition) {
4.
5. }
6.
7. }
Select all that apply.
1. throw new Exception() at Line 4
2. throws new MyException() at Line 4
3. throw new MyException() at Line 6
4. throws new Exception() at line 2
5. throws MyException at Line 1

Thanks

I'd say 3&5.

if MyException is the name of the Exception Class rather then the Exception Object itself , then the correct choice is 2.
because on condition satisfy basis , only statements can be inserted at line no 4 , no where else.

If a method is declared to be throwing an exception, you can do one of the following
1. Enclose the method call in a try-catch block and catch the exception that is being thrown.
2. Forget about try-catch safety and just declare the calling method itself to be throwing the same exception.
It is perfectly legal you can do both of these.
So the answer is (5)
5. throws MyException at Line 1

Thanks for your reply Michael.
I selected the same options in the practice exam. But I didn't get any credit for my answer. The question is from Jxam.
Is the answers are wrong ??
Thanks

Thanks Ajit and naveen.
I tried the question with your answers (option 2 ONLY and option 5 ONLY).
Still it says it is wrong..
I am confused...

2 is most definitely wrong, you can't use throws in a method, only throw. SO the correct answer should be 3 & 5.

Except 3 is wrong because you are supposed to throw the exception only if the condition is true. This is the correct answer:
1. public aMethod throws MyException {
2.
3. if (Condition) {
4. throw new MyException();
5. }
6.
7. }
So only 5 is a valid choice. There should be a choice that says: throw new MyException() at Line 4

I agree with Thomas Paul. Answer 3 would mean that the exception is thrown regardless of Condition. Answer 5 has to be correct.

Thanks guys.
Special thanks to Ajit and Thomas for the detailed explanation.
