It's simple. See the reference variable j is of type person. And j.setAge(20) sets the age 20 for the object j. Now this object j is passed to the celebrateBirthday(). So the age of the person passed is 20 now. Inside that method the value is incremented by 1. So now the age becomes 21. And finally that is printed using j.getAge(). Kindly read about static keyword.

It's Java isn't it? Then why have you tagged C#?
