Case Study Based Questions
Case study 1
9. Rini, Suchandra and Rai made a table with empty match boxes. They coloured the
boxes in such a way that the toy table looks like a table. They made drawers with
handle. All the match boxes are identical. The length, breadth and height of the match
box are 2.5 cm by 4 cm by 1.5 cm.
