Can I solve a question which I have already solved previously?

In case you get the same question which you have previously solved, always add more explanation/steps to your solution for the student’s better learning experience. Copying the same solution without any added information will be considered self-plagiarism and will result in low CF score and authoring quality.

If you're unable to modify the same question's solution (already submitted solution), please skip it under “I cannot solve this question, because: with the sub-option, I don’t know the solution”.
