Hello All,

Create a Visualforce page that displays the first name of the logged-in user.

Remove ({!$User.Username }) from your code.
  
<apex:page >
 {!$User.FirstName}
</apex:page>

Hi Pawan,
As i could check your code, you have used global variable $User to print Username as well... So just remove ({!$User.Username }) and Print only first name or you can print both (firstname and lastname).

Working code is:

<apex:page >
    {! $User.FirstName }
</apex:page>

Use this code before that just logout and login
<apex : page>
{! $User.FirstName}
</apex: page>

         <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1">
    {! $User.FirstName } {! $User.LastName } ({! $User.Username })
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
   </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

Try to use this code you will pass the trailhead task.
