The scope of a private member is only limited to the class in which it is defined. It doesn't matter whether this class is a base class to another class.

private members of a super class can be accessed if it is serialisable,but cannot be modified by subclass.

NO,not at all.Infact the access specifier PRIVATEensures that data members of that class is not inherited.This helps in the concept so called data hiding or encapsulation.If u want that ur code can b inherited then use PUBLIC,or PROTECTED.These allow inheritance.

No, In Inheritance only the public and protected memberes of the base class can b inherited by the derived class. Private members r only accessible to the member functions of the class.
