How is multiple inheritance implemented in Java ? Core Java
Ans. There was no multiple inheritance in java before version 8 as implementing multiple interfaces cannot be termed as inheritance.
With Java 8 , came the concept of default methods wherein the class implementing the interface carries the default implementation from the interface and hence facilitating multiple inheritance.

In which cases , moving methods to utility class could be useful ? Core Java
Ans. It could be worthy to move a method to util class if the method needs to be shared, doesn't require polymorphic behavior and need not be overridden in special cases.
Don't belong to one group through is-a relationship ( You can share through parent class method )
Don't implement a specific interface ( java 8 default methods )
Doesn't involve complex computing as you will be loosing the benefit of object state with just static method.
Doesn't require polymorphic behavior as static methods don't participate in runtime polymorphism. Help us improve.
