Hi Sandeep

Your writing the shorthand of border-radius property so first value applies to the top-left and the bottom right, second value applies to top-right and bottom-left corner. So write your code like this: border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;

You can still use the "border-radius" shorthand property, but you need to supply more values to make sure that you are setting only the top-left and bottom-left values:

  border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
