Question

A nail is inserted in the trunk of a tree at a height of 1 metre from the ground level. After 3 years, where will the nail be present?

Answer

The nail will remain at the same position even after 3 years. This is because a plant or tree grows from its tip (stem or root) not from the point at which it joins the ground. So, the tree will grow but the nail will remain at the same place on the tree trunk.
