ReplyDeleteMy book's chapter 16 was torn. I got homework of doing exercises.
ReplyDeleteSo, I went to www.ncert.nic.in but there were only 15 chapters. There was no chapter 16. So, I search on google search. Many hyperlinks appeared. I clicked one of them and this page opened. I was in the search of questions but thanks for both questions and answers!
it isnot so good
