Explanation of the methods used in the program is given just ahead : 

Graphics.drawLine() :
The drawLine() method has been used in the program to draw the line in the applet. Here is the syntax for the drawLine() method : 

drawLine(int X_from_coordinate, int Y_from_coordinate, int X_to_coordinate, int Y_to_coordinate);

Graphics.drawString() :
The drawSring() method draws the given string as the parameter. Here is the syntax of the drawString() method :

drawString(String string, int X_coordinate, int Y_coordinate);

Graphics.drawOval() : 
The drawOval() method draws the circle. Here is the syntax of the drawOval() method : 

g.drawOval(int X_coordinate, int Y_coordinate, int Wdth, int height);

Graphics.drawRect() :
The drawRect() method draws the rectangle. Here is the syntax of the drawRect() method : 

g.drawRect(int X_coordinate, int Y_coordinate, int Wdth, int height)

Here is the java code of the program :.

Here is the HTML code of the program:
