Answer 1

public class Animal {
    private String name;  //line 1
    private int weight; //line 2

    protected String getName() {    // it should be 'protected' to be accessed by the base class
        return name;
    } //line 3

    public int fetchWeight() {
        return weight;
    } //line 4
}

public class Dog extends Animal {
    private String food; //line 5
    public void mystery(){
        System.out.println("Name = " + super.getName()); //line 6

        System.out.println("Food = " + food); //line 7
    }
}
