As per equality contract of Java if two objects are equal then they should return equal integer, means if obj1.equals(obj2) then obj1.hashCode() == obj2.hashCode();
As we override equals method we compares equality on value of each property inside 1st object with 2nd object, as it finds all properties are equal then returns true else false.
As we override hascode method we generate a unique integer by multiplying with prime number. If we multiply with prime number then there is most possibility to get unique integer. The prime number 31 is mostly used as the hascode method is override.
