I tried:

print("Num GPUs Available: ", len(tf.config.experimental.list_physical_devices('GPU')))

Num GPUs Available: 0

Why tensorflow is not able to detect the GPU?

Can you add logs that you get after import tensorflow and along with that provide system information. — Aniket Bote
Yes, please add the logs, without that there is not much we can do to help. — Dr. Snoopy

It seems you are trying to use the TensorFlow-GPU version and you have downloaded unsupported versions.

Note: GPU support is available for Ubuntu and Windows with CUDA enabled cards only.

If you have a Cuda enabled card follow the instructions provided below.

As stated in Tensorflow documentation. The software requirements are as follows.

Nvidia gpu drivers - 418.x or higher
Cuda - 10.1 (TensorFlow >= 2.1.0)
cuDNN - 7.6

Make sure you have these exact versions of the software mentioned above. See this

Also, check the system requirements here.

Make sure you have installed all the c++ redistributables - here

For downloading the software mentioned above see here.

For downloading TensorFlow follow the instructions provided here to correctly install the necessary packages.
