Hiding instance variables of a class

I have below class

AbstractTest

public abstract class AbstractTest {
 protected int testVar = 10;
}

Test

public class Test extends AbstractTest {
int testVar = 5;

public static void main(String[] args) {
    AbstractTest test = new Test();
    System.out.println(test.testVar);//Prints 10

    Test secondTest = new Test();
    System.out.println(secondTest.testVar);//Prints 5
}
}

Why above program prints 10 for first case and 5 for second case though it is object of same class i.e. Test()?

Update:

I am now confused about how memory is allocated to Object and its variables. As instance variable is getting changed based on Class which is behaviour of Static?

Update:1

Every object will have two variables so question of same memory allocation does not comes in to picture. Thanks.

Answer 1

This is defined in JLS 15.11.1

[In the expression Primary.Identifier], only the type of the Primary expression, not the class of the actual object referred to at run-time, is used in determining which field to use.
