Thank you! You are the only one who give the right answer for now! I have one question for each command. 1. What is the 2 1 meaning in args version? 2. could you explain {} {} in the -exec version?

@Mithril thank you for your kind words and consideration. I shall be putting in an explanatory note detailing my thought process. I just wished that S.E. had a better graphical tools since thinking is more of a graphical thing, & many times explaining it in words doesn't do justice.

@Mithril As per your requirements I am adding the working of the find/xargs command. You may want to have a look.
