Hi Salman,  
Do not Put space after define controller or action in link\_to tag…  
Use below  
\<%= link\_to ‘Submit’,  
:controller =\> “questions”, :action =\> “showans”, :id =\> @question.id  
%\>"

I think the space in " questions" is causing the problem. This can be  
seen in the error as %20 is a space.
