https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3540-1/ ...............I am following this link to upgrade my kernel for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

need help what is the exact kernel version do i need to update to

I am confused between linux-image-generic 4.4.0.112.118 and linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic 4.4.0-112.135 .............these are the 2 kernel versions mentioned on the URL

which one should I update my server to

Current Kernel Version on my OS is 

# dpkg -l|grep linux-image 

ii linux-image-4.4.0-112-generic 4.4.0-112.135 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP 
ii linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic 4.4.0-59.80 amd64 Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP 
ii linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.112.118 amd64 This package will always depend on the latest minimal generic kernel image.

Since you seem to be using the ordinary -generic kernel instead of an architecture-specific kernel, use 135 or higher.

Your output indicates that you already have 135 installed. Simply reboot into the new kernel using GRUB.

How to get to the GRUB menu at boot time
