 Preparation for the board examination

One day before the main board examination a child's father, Pradip advises his son, Milind, that you need to start preparing yourself for tomorrow's Mathematics paper if you have any doubts you may call your friend over to the house to understand and study the concepts together and clearly. Milind's mother's piece of advice was that if your friend already has the revision paper with her, then you can proceed with solving the past paper. Otherwise, it's a waste of time to study everything from scratch. Milind invites his 3 friends: Amee, Spruha and Arya to his house. After some time, everyone is welcomed at Milind's house. They all centre themselves at the teapot table. They all settle in with their geometry toolbox, question paper and rough pages to solve.

Spruha removes a revision paper regarding bearings to solve. They all start by solving first by trying. Sums which were impossible to solve were left out. After an hour, they all began to discuss the answers. Amee solves most of their doubts but there's still a misunderstanding left. Then she quickly grabs a chart paper and starts explaining them from the beginning all over again.

On the next day, while Milind was writing his first mathematics paper, he found out that he had missed studying the rules of sine, cosine and tan. He also finds the exam difficult even though he studied with his friends.

The time when Milind reached his home, he was very angry. He wasn't able to bury his feelings deep inside his body. He wasn't calm about what happened yesterday. He started feeling guilty, that he should have studied on his own. 'Spruha and Arya had so many doubts about bearings that were supposed to be completed no. Couldn't they do it before?' This was one of his thoughts.

"I couldn't complete my studies because of these people. We only studied bearings topic in the Trigonometry chapter. Only one topic. If I had studied alone by myself, in these 3 hours, I would have revised the entire chapter. I will never listen to Dad, and will never call my friends to study with me. That was one piece of advice I should have ignored."
