You could use HTML markup...
Is this application a Java applet? Anything else?

Am trying to render the questions in a string array is it possible to use superscript in string array

It makes no sense. String is a string, it does not carry any markup. But you can use different Unicode characters for digits.

Please see my comment to the question. Strings themselves, just plain text, don't carry any markup/formatting.

Only in the case when your text in subscript/superscript are just digits, you can use the Unicode character for all decimal digits. I hope I don't need to explain you that Java works with Unicode characters and strings. Watch this:

0⁰₀ 1¹₁ 2²₂3³₃ 4⁴₄ 5⁵₅ 6⁶₆ 7⁷₇ 8⁸₈ 9⁹₉

I did not use any HTML markup in this example. Superscript digits have code points U+2070 to U+2079, and subscripts '- U+2080 to U+2089, there are few more superscripted/subscripted characters. Please see:
http://unicode.org,
http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2070.pdf.

Not sure it makes a lot of practical sense, but you got the answer.
