If you feel that answer is not matching with any of the provided options, you can select the option which is Most nearest to the correct answer.
We appreciate your efforts to point out any mistakes in the assignments but it is also important to maintain certain secrecy so that everyone can be equally judged. So if possible please avoid giving direct answers / exact numbers on the discussion forum. However you can always raise an issue if you feel something is not right.

It has been observed that signal to noise ratio of our forum is very high and we sincerely request you to maintain decorum of the forum.
Explain you doubts very clearly, try to make an effort to resolve the issue before posting it onto a forum and please keep it purely technical.

We are also students just like you with our own course work, assignments, quizzes and exams so there are very high chances that we will miss genuine issues and doubts so please keep forum nice and clean.

Most Important :

We won't be able to help you regarding achieving you dream of working for NASA, Boeing or Airbus and also won't be helpful in your personal research/ thesis/ project so please avoid asking for the same to us or to the instructor.
