Explanation / Answer

Ans: true false

list1.equals(list2) this gives--->true

Explanation:In list elements are stored in insertion order.elements are stored in index basis.
in list1 index0-->Atlanta and index1-->Macon and index2-->savanna are stored
in list2 index0-->Atlanta and index1-->Macon and index2-->savanna are stored
.equals method compare the values.as list1 and list2 contains the values in same order and same elemetns
it will give output as "true".

list.equals(list3) this give-->flase

Explanation:
in list1 index0-->Atlanta and index1-->Macon and index2-->savanna are stored
in list1 index0-->Macon and index1-->savanna and index2-->Atlanta are stored
here while comparing element on index basis they are not same so this returns false
