The method invoked here is the area method of Rectangle class. So it will return 20, The reason there is no ambiguity in resolving the method is because the area method in the rectangle is the most-specific method.
For more info on most-specific method click here

Hope that helps

HI Parameswaran ,

I am getting only 20 not 25. Check once again.
