public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {

FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);
System.out.println(file.exists());
}
}

A.	True true	B.	False true
C.	False true	D.	None of the above

Answer and Explanation

Answer:False true

Explanation:
creating a new instance of the class File, you're not yet making an actual file, you're
just creating a filename.
So file.exists() return false.
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file) do three things:
It created a FileWriter reference variable fw.
It created a FileWriter object, and assigned it to fw.
It created an actual empty file out on the disk.
So file.exists() return true .
