There are total five lectures of which 3 are theoretical and 2 are based on Numericals.  This is apart of Unit-1 syllabus and covered in two hour lectures. These lectures will definitely help you a lot in your final exams and also beneficial for preparation of various competitive exams. So boys lets go ahead and inform me in the form of feed back / reviews.
