Assignment No. 8: Question No. 2 & 8

Dear Learners
This announcement is regarding "Question No 2" and "Question No 8" of the Assignment Number 8.
As there seems to be two correct options in Question No 2 and the Correct Answer for Question No 8 is "Main Body", we have requested the NPTEL Headquarter to consider removing these two questions from evaluation process. There was probably some technical and typographical error during the designing of the Question Paper for Assignment 8.
Rest assured you all will be kept informed with any further progress in the matter.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards
