Starting from main method:

object of obparm is created and reference is stored in o.
amethod with reference of o is called.

Execution os amethod:
i = 99.
Creates object of ValHold and saves object reference in v.
Sets value of i in v to 30.
calls another method passes parameters as 1. v created as above with value 30 and 2. i (= 90).

Execution os another:
Gets parameters in local variable v and i respectively.
set value of local variable i to 0.
sets value of i in object v to 20.
creates new object of VahHold and assigns it to variable vh.
local variable v is reassigned to new reference of vh.
System.out.print(v.i) will print reassigned value of local variable that is - 10
System.out.print(i) will print local value of i that is 0
System.out.print( v.i ) will print actual value changed by statement "v.i = 20" = 20.
so, it is 10 0 20
