‘Grouping of objects helps the shopkeeper.’ Justify the statement.

1. The shopkeeper can locate the required object easily and quickly.
2. The shopkeeper can easily come to know what stocks are going to finish and he can purchase them for his customers.

Sorting of objects into groups with each group having its own characteristic properties is called classification of objects.

Grouping objects together with similar properties is called sorting. The materials can be grouped on the basis of similarities or differences in their properties. 

Example: Rose, Jasmine, Marigold, and Lotus are flowers, hence, can be grouped together.

Classification of objects makes it easier to locate and identify members with them. We can get an idea of the properties of other members of the group by just identifying one member of the group.

Advantage: We sort objects into groups because it makes it convenient to study their properties and also observe any patterns in these properties.
