You can only call public and protected constructors of the super class in a subclass if the subclass is not in the same package because only those are inherited.

my answer is true
but the answer given is false why?

[chander shivdasani]

Well, i guess even the default constructors can be called.

Your answer is right if Constructors is replaced by "Methods"

Correct me if i am wrong.

[sweety sinha]

i think i have done a mistake, because constructor is never inherited

[chander shivdasani]

Yes.

[Ankit Garg]

Yes, constructor is never inherited.

The correct statement would be

You can only call public and protected constructors of the super class in a subclass if the subclass is not in the same package because only those are accessible.

Also remember that if you don't provide explicit constructor for a class, the default constructor provided by the compiler has the same accessibility as the class.....
