Can Static and Transient appear together?

As per Mughals book, Pg.126, Chapter 4, it says:
Note that transient modifier should not be specified for static variables, as these do not belong to objects.
Then again on Page 130. Q4.26 is as follows:
Which of these are not legal declarations within a class?
(a)static int a;
(b)final Object[] fudge = {null};
(c)abstract int t;
(d)native void sneeze();
(e)final transient static private double PI = 3.141592653589793223846
I thought the answers would be (c) and (e).
But the ans is just (c).
I tried compiling it and it worked fine.
So, I looked for errata in the book online (http://www.ii.uib.no/~khalid/pgjc/jcbook/errata.html), but could spot anything on this.
Am I missing something??

So the "transient" and "static" keywords can be use together?
Monisha.

wasn't sure myself, but searching found the answer here

Thanks. So I think its legal to have "static" and "transient" together, but it does not make sense to do that.
I guess in the sentence

Note that transient modifier should not be specified for static variables, as these do not belong to objects.

the "Should not be" does not neccessarily mean "Can not be" :roll:
