Hello,
   I have a question.

A.]
Consider this statement below:-
He played music on the Mp3 player in his car, which was newly
purchased.

Now what connotation does this above sentence give , does it mean:
1.) that the MP3 player is newly purchased
Or
2.) that the car is newly purchased

Now  how do i change punctuation of this sentence to get above two
different connotations:

What arrangement of the pronouns and the semicolon, give which kind of
connotation.

B.]
Under which Part of Speech of English Language grammer is this kind of
grammar covered ?

Thank you

It's ambiguous, but strictly, it means the car is newly purchased.

We call "," a comma; a semicolon is ";".

The easiest way is to place the adjective before the noun that it
qualifies:

a) He played music on the newly purchased MP3 player in his car.

b) He played music on the MP3 player in his newly purchased car.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but it's all to do with the attribution
of adjectives, I guess.

Hope this helps.

Not necessarily. Would you expect them if the word before 'purchased' 
had been 'recently'? Or in something like 'freshly made bread'?

I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that a hyphen shouldn't be used
between a -ly adverb and an adjective it is modifying.
