Assume Map interface has 10 public methods. Hashmap class implemented Map interface and some extra methods, total 20 public methods.
Map map = new Hashmap()
From this map object how many methods can I access. Can I access 10 or 20?

You can only access the 10 methods of Map through the reference map.
You would, in your example, have to cast the reference map to a HashMap reference if you wanted to access all of HashMap's methods.
For instance: ((HashMap)map).someMethodSpecificToHashMap()
