number of persons.
26. In a school, students thought of planting trees in and around the school to
reduce air pollution. It was decided that the number of trees that each section
of each class will plant, will be the same as the class in which they are
studying, e.g., a section of class I will plant one tree, a section of class II will
plant two trees and so on till class XII. There are three sections of each class.
