Answer 1

java -version

For a 64bit java version it'll print :

java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) ***64-Bit*** Server VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)

For 32 bit it'll be just

java version "1.8.0_92"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_92-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.92-b14, mixed mode)
