Answer 1

Hi as I can see in your code that the path you have mentioned for your Chrome driver is:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "‪C:\\Test Automation\\Jars\\chromedriver.exe");

While the error is showing this path:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: The driver executable does not exist: C:\Users\tarin\JAVA-practice\Tutorial2\‪C:\Test Automation\Jars\chromedriver.exe 

So can you please check if if your have set the right path for your Chrome driver? May be that would resolve your issue.

Not working even after path change
