Hi Suneel,

Please refrain from asking copyright material over SDN.

As for the list of APO questions - there is no answer list. Its for self-assessment and not meant for Interview questions. Please use the Wiki and links to different public domain material as a reference for learning APO.

Also check the list of good books under bibliography section - the book by Jorg Thomas Dickersbach is highly recommended especially for beginners.

Thanks,

Somnath
