Alright Screw these!
You might endup banging your head on wall.
Open terminal & type :

This will remove flashplayer.

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
This will install audio/video codecs + Flashplayer.

I have tried the second one too, it's there in the image I have attached, I tried both the codes , but they are both showing no plugin,
I think I have to reinstall it, could you tell me which version I should download now..?
or any other option as it's showing correctly installed in USC
Here's the pic.

Well still it doesn't work then, open this link : #-Link-Snipped-# & Download the Google Chrome .deb file
(For Information : Like in windows there is .exe executable file for software installation, Ubuntu uses .deb packages)
Now you have to learn how-to install .deb files in Ubuntu:
Method 1 : Lightspeed Method Using Terminal
By default .deb file will be downloaded to "Downloads" Folder in Home directory.so we need to cd to Downloads.
Open Terminal & Type :
cd Downloads
Press <Enter> & then type :
sudo dpkg -i <Name_Of_File.deb>
Press <Enter>
It will be installed.
Method 2 : GUI
We need a software named Gdebi for that.
Open Terminal & Type :
sudo apt-get install gdebi
Press <Enter>. Software will be installed.
Now in Downloads folder, the downloaded google chrome .deb file is there.
Right click on it & Open with Gdebi installer.
It will ask for password, type in password & it will get installed.

Ok, problem is, whenever I switch on my system, it shows, that, my graphics settings are not detected properly, and I've to configure it manually, I press enter and taken to another screen, where there are various options, but nothing works (I can't choose anything, because my keyboard and mouse doesn't work on that screen..)
Then I've to start the system various times.. to get it properly booted..
My graphics card is Nvidia geforce gt 610m optimus...

But before that do the following :

You don't need winzip as 'archive manager' is already there.
For winrar download winrar.exe from somewhere & install it with wine directly. It will work.

BDW, how much swap area should I allocate? or if I just don't allocate anything.?
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

Swap Area = 2x RAM size.
But I have noticed that SWAP Area will never be used by Linux. Swap Area works like virtual Ram when system consumes all the physical memory it will use swap area so the system doesn't hang.

You'll never need that many of. Swap Area used to be very useful during old times when 256 MB RAM were treated like 16 GB RAM.
Now a days, it's wastage of memory. 16 GB is just insane amount for SWAP Area.

I have 4 GB of RAM, and I think it's enough, but still if I want to allocate some SWAP memory, how much should I allocate ?

4 partitions, not 3.
/ - 40 GB is like 'whoa! enough!'
/boot - 450 MB
/home - As per your use

I have 750 GB HDD
So, for root directory, 40 GB, /boot 450 MB, and I want to have one more for all the stuff, like around 250 GB- 300 GB.
For what is /home used for..?

/home is where the hidden files related to DE, some of your software configs,Wine,etc. is stored. It should be maximum, as most of the work is primarily stored in /home only.
If I am doing coding, I usually store all the files in /home only, makes it very easy & fast to access.

@#-Link-Snipped-# need your help, I just installed Ubuntu 13.04
Made three partitions,
one having the linux file system, and the other two for other stuff, but it seems something went wrong, I cannot do anything with the other two partitions, neither store some stuff, nothing..
This is what I got from properties of one of the partition, it says that the root user has access, but I'm the root user, then what's the problem?

Data ? You mean apps ? Don't worry they will be updated too.
You know I always ask people to have seperate /home, so when you upgrade you won't lose your data.
However if you've added PPAs, you need to purge 'em first before doing upgrade.

LOL What's TurboC ? Turbo C & DOS in Unix, You gotta be kiddin me.
GNU GCC C Compiler is preinstalled in Ubuntu. For C++, do apt-get g++.
Use 'geany' IDE it's lightweight.However, I am not fond of IDEs, as with addons/plugins/extensions gVim can do as goog as what IDEs can.
