The static member still has to reside somewhere. It isn't in limbo. Static members reside in the class itself. The class is like an object itself - it has member references and member methods, those marked 'static' in the class definition.

since the static member do not reside in the object

There is no "the object". Static members reside in another object, the one representing the class itself.

then how we are accessing it using object reference...

Two different things, objects and references.

Objects referred to by instance members don't "reside in the object" either. A reference lives inside an object, either in an instance object or the class itself. The reference points to another object or to 'null'. The referenced object doesn't "reside in" anything but heap, conceptually.

Classes and instances don't have member objects. They have member references. References point to objects. Objects don't "reside in" other objects. References do, sometimes, but not necessarily in instance objects. The place from which a reference points and the place to which it points are two different things.
