A few calculations to be noted

8335 papers are equivalent to one large Tree ( Facts checked on the WEB )

We tapped Three standards ( 5th , 6th & 7th ) each having 3 divisions in total 18 classes in 2 different schools

Each class consisting of 40 students with 20 books each

So 40 multiplied by 18 multiplied by 20 = 14400 papers saved.Equals to 2 trees.

3 Standards in a school = 1 Tree , so 10 Standards = 3 Trees

And the multiplication continues.
