Garbage Collection

[Akshay Rathore]

class Beta {}
class Alpha{
static Beta b1;
Beta b2;
}

public class Tester{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
   Beta b1=new Beta(); Beta b2=new Beta();
   Alpha a1=new Alpha(); Alpha a2=new Alpha();
   a1.b1=b1;
   a1.b2=b1;
   a2.b2=b2;
   a1=null; b1=null; b2=null;
   //Rem code
 }
}

Question is how many objects will be eligible for garbage Collection when the Rem code comment is reached?

I m not able to understand how answer is 1
