your question is not clear!!

[Olivier Lambert]

You can't define a method both abstract and synchronized. Abstract implies that your method has no body while synchronized says that the body of your method is "secured" ...

[Mike Gershman]

You can't use other modifiers besides public, protected, and private with abstract because they are implementation details, not client interface specifications.

What if a better implementation of your method used individual synchronized blocks of code or you found a thread-safe algorithm that didn't need locks at all? Why force the entire method to be synchronized by inheritance?

take up a dictionary and look up the meaning of the words 'doubt' and 'question'.

doubt != question, therefore your statement does not compile.
It caused a compiler error in my brain of which this is the output so I am unable to help you further.
