Answer:
This is one of those .NET interview question which is asked from the perspective to test if you understand the importance of private constructors in a class.

Now the next question which the interviewer will ask , whats the use of such kind of class which can not be inherited neither instantiated.
Many times we do not want to create instances of certain classes like utility , common routine classes. Rather than calling as shown below

You would like to call it as
clsCommon.CheckDate("1/1/2011");
