Tableau Number Functions Assignment for Beginners

Here I am coming with assignment on Tableau number functions. This is very basic and fundamental assignment for beginners. Almost every body know functions in tableau. Lets see how they learned and understood.

Giving solution to problems is like temporary fix. After few days you may forgot solution. But Solving problems will stamp the process for long time. I am just feeling this is new way of teaching people.
