Marks for Assignment 3/Q4

Dear All,

I realize that there was a spelling error from my side regarding Q4 in assignment 3. The correct spelling is what was given in the notes and the assignment solution did not have the extra 't'. A lot of you also raised this in the forum.

I have talked to the staff at the NPTEL office and we will disregard that question and everyone will get 10 marks (out of 100) for that question. This will be done during the final evaluation, so you will not see it now in your progress tab. I am also locking all the threads related to this issue, in the form. 

I would like to apologize for creating this confusion from my end. I shall try to be careful in the future and also give you hints so you know what exactly we are looking for in the short answer questions.
