Linux file permissions

If you change a file's permissions to chmod 755 in Linux, what kind of permissions are assigned to the group that owns the file?

7= r+w+e
6= r+w
5= r+e

and so on.

X= any combination of 4,2,1 means rwx
--------X---------------X---------X----------
User Permissions-----Group------Others

d-rwx-rwx-rwx

d=:type
First:user permissions
Second:Group permissions
Third

ther permissions

755 means read, write and execute for user.
..........read and execute for group and others

Cheers!!

Group is having read and executable permission for the particular file or directory.

This is obviously homework, you should read the chmod man page.
