Hi Nazia, you did not say what Rwork and Rfree values are... If, for instance, Rwork=20% and Rfree=21% then a situation when Rfree stays the same or even increases and Rwork goes down is totally valid as long as a reasonable Rfree-Rwork gap is maintained. The point is that you need to look at three numbers Rwork, Rfree and Rfree-Rwork, not either one of them.
