Confusion about servlet path , context path and path info

Hello,
while being through mocks , I came across through couple of path related question from javabeat mock.
In below question , the answers are differing. Specially with reference to a query string . I far as I know , query string isnt a part of path info.
Req URI = Contextpath+servletpath+pathinfo
Can any one please help me in getting this confusion clear.

Pick out the context path, Servlet path and path information from the request
path '/books/Find/abcd?query=Java' (assuming that the context is 'books')?
a. '/books', '/Find' and '/abcd'
b. '/books', '/Find/abcd' and 'query=Java'
c. '/books/Find', '/abcd' and 'query=Java'
d. None of the above.
ANS : A

What will be the value of the context path, Servlet path and the path info
elements, if the request path is music/Play/album1234?name='xyz' (assuming
that the context of the Web Application is 'music')?
a. Play, album1234 and name='xyz'
b. music, Play and album1234?name='xyz'
c. music, Play and album1234
d. music, Play/ album1234 and name='xyz'

After being through seaching the posts on java ranch , I had posted my question here. Actually I foung couple of post on javaranch discussing the same thing, and I got a help from those too.
But my concern is , in exam question , the web.xml mapping hasnt been provided .So what could we do to get the correct answer, after all evntual result matters .

i think you are right.

it completely differ if the mapping is "/Find/abcd" or "Find/*".
for the first it gives:
servlet path="/Find/abcd" path info="".
for the second it gives:
servlet path="/Find" path info="/abcd".

am i right??

Exactly . Thats what I just wanted to ask. What if in exam question , web.xml mapping hasnt been provided , how could one comes to an answer , it would be a blind game then for path info question.

you won't get such question...

..Lets hope the same ..

BTW thanks SIR.
