Hi Phani,
Your area of research would would lead to the topic of your reach. The lit rev of the topic would lead to the objectives to achieve from your research (Your contribution to the BODY OF KNOWLEDGE). Each object would lead to multiple hypothesis, at last, to test those hypotheses you need a questionnaire. Keep in mind that you should know what statistical test will you use to test each hypotheses so that you can collect required data thought the questionnaire.
Relationship between the Topic, objectives of the study, hypotheses and questionnaire?
Yes there is a relationship among the topic, study's objectives, hypotheses & questionnaire. Typically each research has the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Conceptual Framework, Methodology, Discussion & Conclusion.
So, topic sets the research boundary, research objectives are to justify your research, hypotheses are propositions you want to verify through questionnaire(s) as instruments.
