Hi,
For Q:20
Because Array is length of 6. i.e. [0] to [5]..
When it's going to print [6] th element, it throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException..

Run it and you'll see why. You're going off the end of the array.

Hi,
With s[6] The value of the index is equal to s.lenght and thus you're trying to access a value ouside the bounds (min=0, max=5) and that's why an exception is throw and more prcisely ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

And if it were [5] then correct answer would have been A ??

For Q10:
IllegalAccessException is a checked exception, but you have not declared it in a throws clause.
For Q20: I strongly recommend that you compile and run this code, then edit it and compile and run it again. That's the best way to understand what it does.

i ran the code for Q20 and Q10, now its clear to me.
Thank You

Richa,
"And if it were [5] then correct answer would have been A ??"
Yes, of course.
