We don't know your OS & release, thus are somewhat limited; but you need to fix line 12 of the file `/etc/apt/sources.list` as it's been corrupted by someone with `sudo` rights. For us to help, we need to be given full details (ie. OS, release & be provided the file for us to see; otherwise we're limited to interpreting your error message; which tells you to correct line 12 of that file)

Yeah I got the help all i did was comment the problematic line in /etc/apt/sources.list by adding ## as first characters in the line. Then try sudo apt-get update

Well done ! For us to tell you what is wrong with that line, you needed to add that line to your question (*making it clear for us that is was the line*). Normally the other lines in the file can be a [*somewhat*] clear guide as to what it looks for; the 20.04 details you provided provides clues as to what release you're using (20.04 = *focal* in the sources.list file)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
