What have you tried and where are you stuck?

You mentioned that you created files b and c in diretcory a, but in commands mentioned in your question, you have created files named a and b. So once check your question again. Also, as Grail said, where're you stuck?

Sorry, my typing mistake but the correction is there is no file 'a' only file 'b' and 'c'.......im stuck at question 4

Thanks
