Is this a puzzle? An interview question?

Because otherwise it makes no sense to not used scoped variables for their intended purpose.

Please send me the answer for the question

Please answer mine first. Without knowing the reason for the strange question, it's impossible to guess what the restrictions are.

What is meant by "scoped variables"? Are you referring to attributes or something else?
Is that constraint you are meant to use JSTL/EL or prohibited from doing so (and if prohibited, why?)

The standard way to pass an object from a servlet to a JSP is as an attribute in scope.
From the servlet:

request.setAttribute("myVal",  "42");
session.setAttribute("mySessionVal", "69");
servletContext.setAttribute("myApplicationVal", "7");

You then access it on the JSP page via EL: ${requestScope.myVal} or just ${myVal} which would result in 42.
similarly for ${sessionScope.mySessionVal} and ${applicationScope.myApplicationVal}

Yes, those are scoped variables. But we're still waiting for the OP to explain why they need to be avoided.
