   2. FileInputStream fr = new FileInputStream("file.txt");
      InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fr, "UTF8");
   3. FileReader fr = new FileReader("file.tst", "UTF8");
   4. InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader("file.tst");
4. Name the class that allows reading of binary representations of Java primitives from an input byte stream.
5. Which of these classes are abstract. Select all correct answer.
   1. FilterWriter
   2. Reader
   3. InputStream
   4. CharArrayReader
   5. DataInputStream
6. Name the exception thrown by the read method defined in InputStream class

1. d
2. a
3. a, b. FileReader class uses the default character encoding, hence c is incorrect. InputStreamReader character class does not have a constructor that takes file name as an argument. Hence d is incorrect.
