As we know vector, ArrayList, etc are all growable so I think the size is not specific but depends upon the heap area of JVM. If I am not right please tell.

A vector has its default capacity which is 10 elements, here size is different from capacity, after 10 element if we enter one element the capacity of vector changes to 20 were as size is 11 only, for example if you have entered 21 elements in a vector, then if you print v.size it results 21 but v.capacity it results 30 If you have any further queries pls let me know

vector size every time get double.

For example: Initially capacity is 10, when when you will put 11 th value in this it will give you size 20, when you will add 21 value its size would be 40 ans after that 80 ans so on,
but in case of array list its increment 50 % of the existing.

Instead of 30 it would give 40.

ArrayList , Vector default size is 10. vector increment is 10 and array list is 10/2

after 10th element if we insert 11th element in ArrayList it will increase by capacity=(currentCapacity*3/2)+1

Current Capacity+3/2,10*3/2=16

Java 6:
Vector = 10
Arraylist = 10
Hashtable = 11
Hashmap = 16
Hashset = 16
Java 7:
Vector = 10
Arraylist = 0. Size will change to 10 once we add the element in the list
Hashtable = 11
Hashmap = 0. Size will change to 16 once we add the element in the map
Hashset = 0. Size will change to 16 once we add the element in the set

Mitesh the calculation part of your solution is not right, kindly check it. Also you are using wrong formula to solve the growable size of the ArrayList.
Thanks

Initial capacity of Vector is 10. If we add 11th element it will increase to 20 and if we insert 21th element capacity will increase to 40. Hence New Capacity = Current Capacity * 2

ArrayList :
New Capacity : Current Capacity * 3/2 + 1
