   public class Q118 {

   static int s;
   Q118(int ns){
   if(s<ns){
   s=ns;
   this.ns=ns;
   }
   }
   void doPrint(){
   System.out.println("ns "+ns+" "+ " s "+s);
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
   Q118 ref1= new Q118(50);
   Q118 ref2= new Q118(125);
   Q118 ref3= new Q118S(100);//it is not true in if 100<125 not true so ns =0 s 125
   ref1.doPrint();
   ref2.doPrint();
   ref3.doPrint();
   }
   }

2. Answer B:

   The reason is because all the three instances got initialized BEFORE calling the doPrint() methods. In addition to the fact that the variable “s” is static. Meaning that it retains its last updated value. Therefore, from the last initialization (i.e. of ref3) the value of “s” became 125. After that, the doPrint() methods got called, resulting in printing the latest “s” value to all of the objects, while printing the instance specific value “ns” of each object.
