I am not giving you the answers for the above questions, primarily because I am too lazy to do so! And secondarily because it will urge you to browse through your study material and take note of some other important points on the go..:)
With that, let me sign off my coaching class on IGBC AP exam.
Happy studying & Good luck. Let’s together make India a Greener Country…J
