    What is not working?
    Add some println() statements to both the if and the else parts and see which is being executed.

    I'm not very good at RadioButtons as I haven't really used them, but would this help:

    if(JRadioButton1.isSelected() == true)

    Also, why are you setting the text of JLabel to both "right" and null?

    That will just set it to null.

    Try this:
    if (jRadioButton1.isSelected())  == true)
          { 
            //   jLabel2.setText("right"); // 
              jLabel2.setText(null);
          buttonGroup1.clearSelection();
     
    jLabel1.setText("how old am I");
     
    jRadioButton1.setText("15");
    jRadioButton2.setText("16");
    jRadioButton3.setText("17");
    jRadioButton4.setText("18");
     
          }
          else jLabel2.setText("wrong");
     
    or this, depending on which one you're looking for.
     
    if (jRadioButton1.isSelected())  == true)
          { 
              jLabel2.setText("right"); 
            //  jLabel2.setText(null); // 
          buttonGroup1.clearSelection();
     
    jLabel1.setText("how old am I");
     
    jRadioButton1.setText("15");
    jRadioButton2.setText("16");
    jRadioButton3.setText("17");
    jRadioButton4.setText("18");
     
          }
          else jLabel2.setText("wrong");

    That's just ... silly. The if statement requires a boolean condition, which isSelected() already returns.

    It is NEVER required to compare a boolean with true or false.

    Chances are you have more than one variable with the same name: the one an instance field, the other a method local variable that hides it.

    To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE. <== link

    you have to try remove method to clear it and then call revalidate(); method to refresh your page (it depends on your whole code of course )

    The question was about clearing the selection in a ButtonGroup, not about removing components from a visible GUI.

    I meant that you have to remove a specific component by using component's remove method
    I mention that it depends on the whole code to do it!!

    So you answered a question other than the one asked. That must have been helpful!
