Q3.Which of following statments are true
a: If object obj1 is accessible from object obj2 and object2 is accessible from obj1, then obj1 and obj2 are not eligible for garbage collection. (False)
b: If an object obj1 can access an object obj2 that is eligible for garbage collection, then obj1 is also eligible for garbage collection.(False)
c:Object will not be destroyed until they have no references to them (True)

Q2:
Borderlayout & Gridlayout doesn't let you specify the exact location, since the size of each windowpart has to do with the size of the window. I think GridBag does the same, but don't know enough about gridbag to know for sure.
Q3:
a) This depends on what they mean by "accessible". If they mean "can call methods in THAT particluar object", then the statement is true, since you need a reference to call the methods, thus both are referenced...
b) How is that even possible? See a)
d) Not sure. Don't really know about the finalize...

Q2 I guess it depends on what is meant by exact location. If exact is a specific x,y coordinate then nullLayout is the only one.

i don't think yield method releases lock... can somebody confirm this??

I think wait() is only one that releases the lock. yield() is not executed in the synchronized environment. stop() kills the thread which might release the lock but it is deprecated in Java2 (I think). Please correct me if I am wrong

Yeah...only wait() releases Lock..
