Answer / bhaskar
To change permission on a file we can use chmod command.
Only thing to remember that to change a file permission one
must be the owner of that file or root in that system.
the typical format of chmod is
chmod <permissions> <filename(s)>
e.g. chmod +777 examplefile
The above command will provide read, write and execute
permission to all in the file examplename.
value for read is 4
write is 2
execute is 1
now to give all permissions it becomes 4+2+1=7
first digit refers to the permission of the owner.
second digit refers to the group permission and last digit
refers to permission to all

If we will create the directory(india) and create the file
in the directory(delhi) then we will run the command.

So permession has been changed both dir and file's
permission will same.
