Q36. POLLUTION-A MAJOR PROBLEM: One of the major problem that the world is facing today is the
environmental pollution. Common types of pollution include light, noise, water and air pollution.

In a school, students thoughts of planting trees in and around the school to reduce pollution. It was decided that
the number of trees that each section of each classes will plant be the double of the class in which they are
studying, e.g. a section of class I will plant 2 trees, a section of class II will plant 4 trees and so on a section of
class XII will plant 24 trees.
(a) If there are two sections of each class, how many trees will be planted by class VII students.
