b) 5 5
c) 9 5
d) 5 10

View Answer

Answer:- a) 5 9

The default priority of the main thread is 5. The thread t1 is created by the main thread therefore the main thread is the parent thread and t1 is the child thread. The thread priority of the main thread is set to 9, then the child thread is created. The priority of the child thread inherits from the parent thread. Hence the priority of child thread is 9.
