During multithreading process, it may happen for a same variable which is to be get incremented in a method and the same variable is needed for processing in another method. This critical condition may lead to deadlock.

We can prevent deadlock by providing the keyword synchronized to both of the methods.

Deadlock can be explained as ------ a1 is used by A b1 is used by B Now without leaving (lock-sychronised) At same time without leaving b1, a1, A wanted b1. B wanted a1.So both will ask for other resource which will not be available by anyway.This generates deadlock.
