Typo - I meant to write 'Are the answers to the question correct in grammar'. Thank you.

Your question isn't even a sentence. You would say something like "Does anyone not have the book?"

In formal english, the correct answer would be the "Yes" answer, but many times people would say "No" because one normally use "No" to indication a general negation rather than specifically answering a negative sentence.
