In 2015 there was an interesting question that in which state tree root bridges are found. The question was an easy guess but not many know from where the question was asked. The question was asked from NCERT ARTS and CRAFTS book of class 11th. A yellow box in one of the starting chapters contains this information.Another question from 2015,kalamkari paintings is also mentioned in the same book in chapter no 9 titled Painitings.So we suggest to do the 11th and 12th arts and crafts books nicely as questions are asked from these books and these two books ie 11 and 12th Ncert Arts and Crafts, can be easily completed in 5-6 hours and can fetch one 2-3 questions correct.
