Q1. Does an ArrayList allow elements of different types ? If not, Why the following code works List list1 = new ArrayList<>(); list1.add(1); list1.add("1");

Ans. With Java 7 or Later. If you don't declare the list to be of specific type , it treats it as list of objects. int 1 is auto boxed to Integer and "1" is String and hence both are objects.
