In a musical chair game, 40 chairs are arranged and make a circle, with the allocation of 5 chairs as Muslim girls (Primary), 10 chairs each as Adivasi girls (Primary) and 15 chairs as Dalit girls (each chair to be written as mentioned above), 10 chairs to be kept as blank.

Gradually with the start of the game, we have to pull out the 10 given blank chairs indicating as left out/wastage from the period beginning from class 1 to 5.
