yes. an abstract class can have Static Methods. An abstract method is defined only so that it can be overridden in a subclass. However, static methods can not be overridden. Therefore, it is a compile-time error to have an abstract, static method. It's because static methods belong to a particular class and not to its instance. Abstract classes contain abstract methods that should be implemented in derived classes. static keyword in class definition means that all methods in the class are static as well. But static methods cannot be inherited or overridden, and that is why they can't be abstract.

Its a really good answers. thanks for help!
