Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The write permission of a directory does not imply that we can write to the directory. Only kernel is allowed to do that. It simply means that we can create or remove files from the directory.
Detailed explanation-2: -write (w) Write permission implies the ability to change the contents of the file (for a file) or create new files in the directory (for a directory). execute (x) Execute permission on files means the right to execute them, if they are programs.
Detailed explanation-3: -The execute ( x ) permission lets users move ( cd ) into directories. The write ( w ) permission lets users add and remove files.
