Can two threads call two different synchronized instance methods of an Object?
I am still not sure on this, If I have two different methods in a object and two different threads are calling them.....is it possible?
Not sure if I understood the question right.... but looks like really fundamental question. Please provide your suggestions and pointers...
No. If a object has synchronized instance methods then the Object itself is used a lock object for controlling the synchronization. Therefore all other instance methods need to wait until previous method call is completed.
See Sample Code which demonstrate it very clearly.

Try out some code yourself, it should be more easier. Also it will be memorized. You can try more combination on same multi threaded applications.

Btw just to answer your question,
You cannot call two synchronized methods of a class on the same object. This is the use of synchronization. If you can call two synchronized methods on the same object then there is a chance of corruption of the state of the object. Synchronization helps you to avoid this....
