S.Lang's Algebra preferably in PDF format but anything will do.
Thank you

Hmmm... By "S. Lang's Algebra", most people are likely to understand
Lang's massive graduate-level "Algebra" book, currently in its revised
third edition and in Springer-Verlag's Graduate Texts in Mathematics
(volume 211). But you are posting this to alt.math.undergrad, which
suggests you might have another algebra book by Serge Lang in mind.
If that is the case, you'll want to be more specific about which book
you mean. If you do mean the graduate text, then you won't find one:
graduate level books almost never have solution manuals attached to
them (this being mostly a feature of high school and lower-division
undergraduate texts), and given the large number of exercises, and the
very varied nature of the material, it is unlikely anyone has gone
through the trouble of writing them all up even for personal use; you
might find some chapters or sections, somewhere as part of personal,
unvetted and unchecked, projects.

He could be talking about Lang's "Linear Algebra", from Springer's
"Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics" series, or Lang's "Introduction to
Linear Algebra", also from that series. There is a published solutions
manual for "Linear Algebra".

Indeed he could; but ask a random mathematician what "Lang's
'Algebra'" is, and he'll point to the one I'm thinking of, I'll wager.
Which is why the OP will need to be a bit more specific about which
one he means.
(I mean, "Lang's algebra book" is a bit like "Shakespeare's play",
after all)
