Why "Mum" in the 2. an 3. output line?
class Mom {
String s ="Mom";
void test() {
System.out.println(s);
}
void test2() {
System.out.println(s);
}
}

class Child extends Mom {
String s = "Child";
void test2() {
System.out.println(s);
}
}

class Test {
void test(Mom m) {
System.out.println("Mom");
}
void test(Child b) {
System.out.println("Child");
}

public static void main(String[] s) {
Test t = new Test();
Mom m = new Mom();
Child b = new Child();
Mom mb = new Child();

System.out.println("-Inherid-");
m.test(); //Mom
b.test(); //Mom Why1?
mb.test(); //Mom Why2?

System.out.println("-Overidden-");
m.test2(); //Mom
b.test2(); //Child
mb.test2(); //Child - Overridden : Runtrime

System.out.println("-Overloaded-");
t.test(m); //Mom
t.test(b); //Child
t.test(mb); //Mom - Overloaded : Compile time
}

}

Its because the test method is only in your Base class i.e Mom not in your Child one. So as cause of inheritance "mom" gets printed at both method calls as child have inherited those two methods.

Thanks
