PREFACE
CBSE as a pace setting national Board has constantly been striving to design its evaluation
process in a manner that it is used as a powerful means of influencing the quality of teaching and learning
in the classroom situation. Also, it has to be so designed that it provides constant feedback regarding
the effectiveness of the course content, classroom processes and the growth of individual learners
besides the appropriateness of evaluation procedures.
As a move in this direction, CBSE started the practice of publishing the Marking Schemes with
twin objectives in mind-(i) making the system more transparent and at the same time, (ii) ensuring high
degree of reliability in scoring procedure.
Who are the markers of answer scripts? How do they mark the answer scripts? How can it be
ensured that marking is fair, objective and reliable? Questions of these types naturally arise in the minds
of candidates appearing in the public examination. These questions are equally pertinent to the teachers
who are not adequately exposed to the CBSE system of marking.
Answer Scripts marking is a specialised job. It is assigned to teachers-PGTs for Class XII and
TGTs for Class X who are in direct touch with the subject and have a minimum of 3 years experience
of teaching the subject at that level. Appointment of examiners is made in accordance with the welldefined norms. Markers examine scripts with the help of detailed guidelines called the 'Marking Schemes'.
It is this tool (Marking Scheme) alongwith the extensive supervisory checks and counter-checks
through which CBSE tries to ensure objective and fair marking. The present publication is being brought
out with a view to serving the following objectives :
(i)

To give an opportunity to the teachers and students to look into the Marking Schemes that
were developed by the Board and supplied to the evaluators in 2014 main examination in
some selected main subjects.

(ii) To receive feedback and suggestions from institutions/subject teachers on the utility and
further improvement of Marking Schemes.
(iii) To encourage institutions to undertake similar exercise of developing marking schemes for
classes other than those covered by the Board's examination with a view to increasing
teachers' responsiveness to them as the essential tools of evaluation.

(iii)

QUESTION PAPER CODE 1/1/1

SECTION A : READING
1.

Read the passage given below carefully:

1.

12

For four days, I walked through the narrow lanes of the old city, enjoying the
romance of being in a city where history still lives - in its cobblestone streets
and in its people riding asses, carrying vine leaves and palm as they once did
during the time of Christ.

2.

This is Jerusalem, home to the sacred sites of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
This is the place that houses the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the place
where Jesus was finally laid to rest. This is also the site of Christ's crucifixion,
burial and resurrection.

3.

20 Marks

Built by the Roman Emperor Constantine at the site of an earlier temple to

Aphrodite, it is the most venerated Christian shrine in the world. And justifiably
so. Here, within the church, are the last five stations of the cross, the 10th
station where Jesus was stripped of his clothes, the 11th where he was nailed
to the cross, the 12th where he died on the cross, the 13th where the body
was removed from the cross, and the 14th, his tomb.

4.

For all this weighty tradition, the approach and entrance to the church is nondescript. You have to ask for directions. Even to the devout Christian pilgrims
walking along the Via Dolorosa - the Way of Sorrows - first nine stations
look clueless. Then a courtyard appears, hemmed in by other buildings and a
doorway to one side. This leads to a vast area of huge stone architecture.

5.

Immediately inside the entrance is your first stop. It's the stone of anointing:
this is the place, according to Greek tradition, where Christ was removed
from the cross. The Roman Catholics, however, believe it to be the spot
where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph.

6.

What happened next ? Jesus was buried. He was taken to a place outside
the city of Jerusalem where other graves existed and there, he was buried in
a cave. However, all that is long gone, destroyed by continued attacks and
rebuilding; what remains is the massive - and impressive - Rotunda (a round
building with a dome) that Emperor Constantine built. Under this, and right in
the centre of the Rotunda, is the structure that contains the Holy Sepulchre.

7.

"How do you know that this is Jesus' tomb ?" I asked one of the pilgrims
standing next to me. He was clueless, more interested, like the rest of
them, in the novelty of it all and in photographing it, than in its history or
tradition.

8.

At the start of the first century, the place was a disused quarry outside the city
walls. According to the gospels, Jesus crucifixion occurred at a place outside
the city walls with graves nearby ..... .Archaeologists have discovered tombs
from that era, so the site is compatible with the biblical period.

9.

The structure at the site is a marble tomb built over the original burial chamber.
It has two rooms, and you enter four at a time into the first of these, the
Chapel of the Angel. Here the angel is supposed to have sat on a stone to
recount Christ's resurrection. A low door made of white marble, partly worn
away by pilgrims' hands, leads to a smaller chamber inside. This is the 'room
of the tomb', the place where Jesus was buried.
2

10.

We entered in single file. On my right was a large marble slab that covered
the original rock bench on which the body of Jesus was laid. A woman knelt
and prayed. Her eyes were wet with tears. She pressed her face against the
slab to hide them, but it only made it worse.

Read the passage given below :

1.

(1 x 2 = 2)

10

We often make all things around us the way we want them. Even during our
pilgrimages we have begun to look for whatever makes our heart happy,
gives comfort to our body and peace to the mind. It is as if external solutions
will fulfil our needs, and we do not want to make any special efforts even in
our spiritual search. Our mind is resourceful - it works to find shortcuts in
simple and easy ways.

2.

Even pilgrimages have been converted into tourism opportunities. Instead,

we must awaken our conscience and souls and understand the truth. Let us
not tamper with either our own nature or that of the Supreme.

3.

All our cleverness is rendered ineffective when nature does a dance of

destruction. Its fury can and will wash away all imperfections. Indian culture,
based on Vedic treatises, assists in human evolution, but we are now using
our entire energy in distorting these traditions according to our convenience
instead of making efforts to make ourselves worthy of them.

4.

The irony is that humans are not even aware of the complacent attitude they
have allowed themselves to sink to. Nature is everyone's Amma and her
fierce blows will sooner or later comer us and force us to understand this
truth. Earlier, pilgrimages to places of spiritual significance were rituals that
were undertaken when people became free from their worldly duties. Even
now some seekers take up this pious religious journey as a path to peace and
knowledge. Anyone travelling with this attitude feels and travels with only a
few essential items that his body can carry. Pilgrims traditionally travelled
light, on foot, eating light, dried chickpeas and fruits, or whatever was available.
Pilgrims of olden days did not feel the need to stay in special AC bedrooms,
or travel by luxury cars or indulge themselves with delicious food and savouries.

5.

Pilgrims traditionally moved ahead, creating a feeling of belonging towards

all, conveying a message of brotherhood among all they came across whether
in small caves, ashrams or local settlements. They received the blessings and
congregations of yogis and mahatmas in return while conducting the dharma
of their pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is like penance or sadhana to stay near nature
and to experience a feeling of oneness with it, to keep the body healthy and
fulfilled with the amount of food, while seeking freedom from attachments
and yet remaining happy while staying away from relatives and associates.

6.

This is how a pilgrimage should be rather than making it like a picnic by

taking a large group along and living in comfort, packing in entertainment,

and tampering with environment. What is worse is giving a boost to the ego
of having had a special darshan. Now alms are distributed, charity done
while they brag about their spiritual experiences!
7.

We must embark on our spiritual journey by first understanding the grace and
significance of a pilgrimage and following it up with the prescribed rules and
rituals - this is what translates into the ultimate and beautiful medium of spiritual
evolution. There is no justification for tampering with nature.

8.

A pilgrimage is symbolic of contemplation and meditation and acceptance,

and is a metaphor for the constant growth or movement and love for nature
that we should hold in our hearts.

9.

This is the truth !

On the basis of your understanding of the above passage answer the questions that follow
with the help of given options:
(a)

(b)

(1 x 2 = 2)

How can a pilgrim keep his body healthy?

(i)

By travelling light

(ii)

By eating a small amount of food

(iii)

By keeping free from attachments

(iv)

Both (i) and (ii)

How do we satisfy our ego ?

(i)

By having a special darshan

(ii)

By distributing alms

(iii)

By treating it like a picnic

(iv)

Both (i) and (ii)

Answer the following as briefly as possible:

3.

(1 x 6 = 6)

(c)

What change has taken place in our attitude towards pilgrimages?

(d)

What happens when pilgrimages are turned into picnics?

(e)

Read the passage given below:

It is surprising that sometimes we don't listen to what people say to us. We hear
them, but we don't listen to them. I was curious to know how hearing is different
from listening. I had thought both were synonyms, but gradually, I realised there is
a big difference between the two words.
Hearing is a physical phenomenon. Whenever somebody speaks, the sound waves
generated reach you, and you definitely hear whatever is said to you. However,
even if you hear something, it doesn't always mean that you actually understand
whatever is being said. Paying attention to whatever you hear means you are really
listening. Consciously using your mind to understand whatever is being said is
listening.
Diving deeper, I found that listening is not only hearing with attention, but is much
more than that. Listening is hearing with full attention, and applying our mind. Most
of the time, we listen to someone, but our minds are full of needless chatter and
there doesn't seem to be enough space to accommodate what is being spoken.
7

We come with a lot of prejudices and preconceived notions about the speaker or
the subject on which he is talking. We pretend to listen to the speaker, but deep
inside, we sit in judgement and are dying to pronounce right or wrong, true or false,
yes or no. Sometimes, we even come prepared with a negative mindset of proving
the speaker wrong. Even if the speaker says nothing harmful, we are ready to
pounce on him with our own version of things.
What we should ideally do is listen first with full awareness. Once, we have done
that, we can decide whether we want to make a judgement or not. Once we do
that, communication will be perfect and our interpersonal relationship will become
so much better. Listening well doesn't mean one has to say the right thing at the right
moment. In fact, sometimes if words are left unspoken, there is a feeling of tension
and negativity. Therefore, it is better to speak out your mind, but do so with awareness
after listening to the speaker with full concentration.
Let's look at this in another way. When you really listen, you imbibe not only what
is being spoken, but you also understand what is not spoken as well. Most of the
time we don't really listen even to people who really matter to us. That's how
misunderstandings grow among families, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters.

SECTION A : READING
1.

Read the passage carefully.

12

For four days, I walked through the narrow lanes of the old city, enjoying the
romance of being in a city where history still lives - in its cobblestone streets
and in its people riding asses, carrying vine leaves and palm as they once did
during the time of Christ.

This is Jerusalem, home to the sacred sites of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
This is the place that houses the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the place
where Jesus was finally laid to rest. This is also the site of Christ's crucifixion,
burial and resurrection.

Built by the Roman Emperor Constantine at the site of an earlier temple to

Aphrodite, it is the most venerated Christian shrine in the world. And justifiably
so. Here, within the church, are the last five stations of the cross, the 10th
station where Jesus was stripped of his clothes, the 11th where he was nailed
to the cross, the 12th where he died on the cross, the 13th where the body
was removed from the cross, and the 14th, his tomb.

For all this weighty tradition, the approach and entrance to the church is
nondescript. You have to ask for directions. Even to the devout Christian
pilgrims walking along the Via Dolorosa - the Way of Sorrows - first nine
stations look clueless. Then a courtyard appears, hemmed in by other buildings
and a doorway to one side. This leads to a vast area of huge stone architecture.

Immediately inside the entrance is your first stop. It's the stone of anointing:
this is the place, according to Greek tradition, where Christ was removed
from the cross. The Roman Catholics, however, believe it to be the spot
where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph.

20 Marks

What happened next? Jesus was buried. He was taken to a place outside the
city of Jerusalem where other graves existed and there, he was buried in a
13

cave. However, all that is long gone, destroyed by continued attacks and
rebuilding; what remains is the massive - and impressive - Rotunda (a round
building with a dome) that Emperor Constantine built. Under this, and right in
the centre of the Rotunda, is the structure that contains the Holy Sepulchre.
7

"How do you know that this is Jesus' tomb ?" I asked one of the pilgrims
standing next to me. He was clueless, more interested, like the rest of them,
in the novelty of it all and in photographing it, than in its history or tradition.

At the start of the first century, the place was a disused quarry outside the city
walls. According to the gospels, Jesus' crucifixion occurred 'at a place outside
the city walls with graves nearby ........'. Archaeologists have discovered tombs
from that era, so the site is compatible with the biblical period.

The structure at the site is a marble tomb built over the original burial chamber.
It has two rooms, and you enter four at a time into the first of these, the
Chapel of the Angel. Here the angel is supposed to have sat on a stone to
recount Christ's resurrection. A low door made of white marble, partly worn
away by pilgrims' hands, leads to a smaller chamber inside. This is the 'room
of the tomb', the place where Jesus was buried.

10

We entered in a single file. On my right was a large marble slab that covered
the original rock bench on which the body of Jesus was laid. A woman knelt
and prayed. Her eyes were wet with tears. She pressed her face against the
slab to hide them, but it only made it worse.

We often make all things around us the way we want them. Even during our
pilgrimages we have begun to look for whatever makes our heart happy,
gives comfort to our body and peace to the mind. It is as if external solutions
will fulfil our needs, and we do not want to make any special efforts even in
our spiritual search. Our mind is resourceful - it works to find shortcuts in
simple and easy ways.

Even pilgrimages have been converted into tourism opportunities. Instead,

we must awaken our conscience and souls and understand the truth. Let us
not tamper with either our own nature or that of the Supreme.

All our cleverness is rendered ineffective when nature does a dance of

destruction. Its fury can and will wash away all imperfections. Indian culture,
based on Vedic treatises, assists in human evolution, but we are now using
our entire energy in distorting these traditions according to our convenience
instead of making efforts to make ourselves worthy of them.

The irony is that humans are not even aware of the complacent attitude they
have allowed themselves to sink to. Nature is everyone's Amma and her
fierce blows will sooner or later corner us and force us to understand this
truth. Earlier, pilgrimages to places of spiritual significance were rituals that
were undertaken when people became free from their worldly duties. Even
now some seekers take up this pious religious journey as a path to peace and
knowledge. Anyone travelling with this attitude feels and travels with only a
few essential items that his body can carry. Pilgrims traditionally travelled
light, on foot, eating light, dried chickpeas and fruits, or whatever was available.
16

Pilgrims of olden days did not feel the need to stay in special AC bedrooms,
or travel by luxury cars or indulge themselves with delicious food and
savouries.
5

Pilgrims traditionally moved ahead, creating a feeling of belonging towards

all, conveying a message of brotherhood among all they carne across whether
in small caves, ashrams or local settlements. They received the blessings and
congregations of yogis and mahatmas in return while conducting the dharma
of their pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is like penance or sadhana to stay near nature
and to experience a feeling of oneness with it, to keep the body healthy and
fulfilled with the amount of food, while seeking freedom from attachments
and yet remaining happy while staying away from relatives and associates.

This is how a pilgrimage should be rather than making it like a picnic by

taking a large group along and living in comfort, packing in entertainment,
and tampering with environment. What is worse is giving a boost to the ego
of having had a special darshan. Now alms are distributed, charity done
while they brag about their spiritual experiences!

We must embark on our spiritual journey by first understanding the grace and
significance of a pilgrimage and following it up with the prescribed rules and
rituals - this is what translates into the ultimate and beautiful medium of spiritual
evolution. There is no justification for tampering with nature.

A pilgrimage is symbolic of contemplation and meditation and acceptance,

and is a metaphor for the constant growth or movement and love for nature
that we should hold in our hearts.

This is the truth!

Marking Scheme English Core

General Instructions :
1.

Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme only.

2.

The Marking Scheme provides suggested value points and not the complete answers.

3.

If a question has parts, marks must be awarded on the right hand side for each part. Marks
awarded to different parts of a question should then be totalled up, written and encircled in
the left hand margin of the answers concerned.

4.

If a question does not have any parts, marks for that question must be awarded in the lefthand margin of the answer.

5.

Where marks are allotted separately for content and expression as per the Marking Scheme,
they have to be reflected separately and then totalled up. This is mandatory.

6.

A slash (/) in the Marking Scheme indicates alternative answers(s) to a question. If a

student writes an answer which is not given in the Marking Scheme but which seems to be
equally acceptable, marks must be awarded in consultation with the Head-Examiner.

7.

If a child has attempted an extra question, the answer deserving more marks should be
retained and the other answer be scored out.

8.

Q1 and Q2 under Section A (Reading) and Q8 under Section C (Text Books) have been
designed to test students ability to comprehend the given passage. As such the examinees
need not to be unnecessarily penalised for their language errors.

9.

Where questions have been designed to test the writing skills of students, the expression
(grammatical accuracy, appropriate use of words, style, spelling, organization and
presentation of relevant matter in a coherent and logical way) assumes as much importance
as the content.

10. Identify major mistakes and shortcomings before awarding marks.

11. Wherever the word limit is given, no marks be deducted for exceeding it. However, due
credit should be given for precise answers.
12. If a student, in response to a short-answer-type question, writes a single word / phrase
answer which constitutes the core of the answer, it must be accepted and awarded marks.

25

13. If a student literally lifts a portion of the given passage / extract from the question paper as
an answer to a question, no mark(s) to be deducted on this count as long as it is relevant
and indicative of the desired understanding on the part of the student [reference questions
under Q1, Q2 and Q8].
14. The question nos. 12 and 13, based on the novels "The Invisible Man" and "Silas Marner"
are being asked for the first time. It is suggested that the examiners be considerate while
awarding marks.
15. A full scale of marks - 0 to 100 - is to be used while awarding marks. In case of an answer
book deserving 90 marks and above, marks be awarded only in consultation with the
Head Examiner.
16. As per orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, a candidate would now be permitted to
obtain photocopy of the answer book on request on payment of the prescribed fee. All
examiners/head examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is
carried out strictly as per value points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.
[FOR THE HEAD EXAMINERS ONLY]
1.

Answer scripts must be given to the evaluators for evaluation only after the given Marking
Scheme has been thoroughly discussed with them collectively or individually. No exceptions,
please.

2.

The Head Examiner is required to go through the first five evaluated answer scripts of each
examiner scrupulously to ensure that the evaluator concerned has evaluated the answer
scripts as per the instructions provided in the Marking Scheme.

3.

The Head Examiner is expected to examine the answer containing the value points that has
not been provided in the Marking Scheme but the evaluator finds it equally correct for the
purpose of awarding marks and give his / her decision which will be binding on the evaluator.

4.

It is the bounden duty of each and every Head Examiner to do the random checking along
with the answer books which deserve 90 marks and above, as reported by individual
evaluators. The final decision in this regard, however, will rest with the Head Examiner only.

QUESTION PAPER CODE 212

SECTION A (READING)
1.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
1

Hewlett- Packard Company or HP (styled as hp) is an American multinational

information technology corporation headquartered in Palo Alto, California,
United States. It provides hardware, software and services to consumers,
small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises, including
customers in the government, health and education sectors.

It specializes in developing and manufacturing, computing, data storage, and

networking hardware; designing software and delivering services. Major
product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise and industry
standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software
and a diverse range of printers and other imaging products. HP markets its
products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses and enterprises
directly as well as via online distribution, consumer-electronics and office
supply retailers, software partners and major technology vendors. HP also
has services and consulting business around its products and partner products.
In 2013, it was the world's second-largest PC vendor by unit sales.

During the late 1990s, HP, the second largest computer manufacturer in the
world, faced major challenges in an increasingly competitive market. In 1998,
67

(20 Marks)
10

while HP's revenues grew just by 3%, competitor Dell's rose by 38%. HP's
share price remained more or less stagnant, while competitor IBM's share
price increased by 65% during 1998. Analysts said HP's culture, which
emphasized teamwork and respect for co-workers, had over the years
translated into a consensus-style culture that was proving to be a sharp
disadvantage in the fast-growing Internet business era. Analysts felt that instead
of Lewis Platt, HP needed a new leader to cope with rapidly changing industry
trends. Responding to these concerns, in July 1999, the HP board appointed
Carleton S. Fiorina (Fiorina) as the company's CEO. Fiorina implemented
several cost-cutting measures to streamline the company's operations. Some
of the measures included forced five-day vacation for the workers and the
postponement of wages' hikes for three months in December 2000. In January
2001, HP laid off 1,700 marketing employees.
4

In April 2001, Fiorina announced that HP's revenues would decrease by 2%

to 4% for the quarter ending April 30,2001 due to decrease in consumer
spending. In yet another move to cut costs, in June 2001, employees were
forcibly asked to take pay-cuts. More than 80,000 employees volunteered
saving the company $ 130 million. Things became worse when the HP
management announced that it would layoff another 6,000 workers in July
2001, the biggest reduction in the company's 64-year history. The management
also sent memos saying that the layoffs would continue and that the volunteering
for pay-cuts would not guarantee continued employment.

In September 2001, HP and Compaq Computer Corporation announced

their merger. According to company insiders, once the merger was
implemented, Fiorina was likely to layoff another 15,000 to 30,000 employees
as part of a major cost saving drive. The merger was expected to yield cost
savings upto $ 2.5 billion primarily because of layoffs. The steps taken by
Fiorina surprised analysts. They said that these steps were a major departure
from HP's organizational culture - 'The HP way' of promising lifelong
employment and employee satisfaction.

According to the company insiders, though change was necessary, employees'

morale had suffered badly. Many employees had lost faith in Fiorina's ability
68

to execute her plans. They also felt that her changes were destroying much of
the company's cherished culture. HP Vice-President for Human Resources,
Susan Bowick admitted, "Morale statistics are lower than we have ever seen
them." They also explicitly communicated their beliefs and values to the
employees.

suitable title.

1.2

Write a summary of the passage in about 80 words.

2.

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow:
1

Three years ago, Martin Scorsese, the New York director who has made
street violence one of his signature traits, teamed up with Harvey Weinstein,
co-chairman of Miramax Films and something of a street fighter himself. The
goal was to make a stylized epic film about gang warfare in pre-Civil War
Manhattan with enough mass appeal to score at the box office.

But the making of that movie, Gangs of New York, has turned into an epic of
its own. Stars like Robert De Niro and Willem Dafoe have come and gone.
Costs have overshot the original budget by about 25 percent to soar above $
100 million. Weinstein has fought for a streamlined, more commercial version.
All the while, Scorsese has tried to stick to his artistic guns as the two have
battled over taste and length.

With hopes of promoting the film next month at Cannes, Miramax executives
are pushing to have the final editing completed in the next few weeks so the
complex task of mixing sound with film can begin. But Scorsese is still not
satisfied with the ending. He has been considering reshooting it, some people
involved in the film say. The film was initially supposed to hit theatres last
December, but now is expected to be released later this year.

Scorsese has not had a box-office smash since Cape Fear, which earned $
79 million domestically in 1991. Weinstein, a domineering personality who,
69

10

by his own admission, is spurned in Hollywood despite championing eclectic

hits like The English Patient and Goodwill Hunting, has come under financial
pressure of his own. In January, he shut Talk magazine and more recently he
shed 75 Miramax employees and contract workers to trim costs.
5

Conflicts arise any time a director's vision collides with pressures to make a
commercial hit. But Saul Zaentz, the producer who battled with Weinstein
over money after working with him on Academy Award-winning The English
Patient, said it was especially true with such strong-willed personalities.

"Marty is only interested in making the right picture," Mr. Zaentz said. "He
will make it no matter what he has to do. And he is strong enough to fight for
what he believes in. Harvey's interest, on the other hand, is not the same as
Marty's. It is about making money."

The budget for "Gangs" has ballooned to more than $ 103 million from the
original $ 83 million - some of which is being paid for by Mr. Scorsese and
Mr. Di Caprio, who plays the lead character, according to two people involved
in the film. At that price - high even by today's standards - it would be the
most expensive movie in Miramax's 22-year history. Mr. Weinstein and Mr.
Scorsese declined to be interviewed but released this statement : "As the
only two decision makers on Gangs of New York we would be happy to
discuss this film in the context of an art versus commerce article when the
story is an informed one, which clearly hinges on the final film being screened."

2.1

On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following in your
own words :
(i)

Why did Martin Scorsese team up with Harvey Weinstein?

(ii)

What was the reason for the difference of opinion?

(iii)

What was the reason for the expected delay of movie release?

(iv)

In what way did they, 'the two decision makers' decide to answer the

(v)

queries regarding the film ?

Why were they both under financial pressure?

40% students of a college reside in hostel and the remaining reside outside. At the
end of the year, 50% of the hostelers got A grade while from outside students, only
30% got A grade in the examination. At the end of the year, a student of the college
was chosen at random and was found to have gotten A grade. What is the probability

The postmaster of a local post office wishes to hire extra helpers during the Deepawali
season, because of a large increase in the volume of mail handling and delivery.
Because of the limited office space and the budgetary conditions, the number of
temporary helpers must not exceed 10. According to past experience, a man can
handle 300 letters and 80 packages per day, on the average, and a woman can
handle 400 letters and 50 packets per day. The postmaster believes that the daily
volume of extra mail and packages will be no less than 3400 and 680 respectively.
A man receives ` 225 a day and a woman receives ` 200 a day. How many men
and women helpers should be hired to keep the pay-roll at a minimum? Formulate
an LPP and solve it graphically.

Scheme, but conveys the meaning, such answers should be given full weightage.

2.

Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the marking scheme. It should not
be done according to one's own interpretation or any other consideration __ Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.

3.

Alternative methods are accepted. Proportional marks are to be awarded.

4.

In question(s) on differential equations, constant of integration has to be written.

5.

If a candidate has attempted an extra question, marks obtained in the question attempted
first should be retained and the other answer should be scored out.

6.

A full scale of marks - 0 to 100 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full
marks if the answer deserves it.

1.

The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity in the marking. The
answers given in the Marking Scheme are suggestive answers. The content is thus indicative.
If a student has given any other answer which is different from the one given in the Marking
Scheme, but conveys the meaning, such answers should be given full weightage.

2.

Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the marking scheme. It should not
be done according to one's own interpretation or any other consideration __ Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.

3.

Alternative methods are accepted. Proportional marks are to be awarded.

4.

In question(s) on differential equations, constant of integration has to be written.

5.

If a candidate has attempted an extra question, marks obtained in the question attempted
first should be retained and the other answer should be scored out.

6.

A full scale of marks - 0 to 100 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full
marks if the answer deserves it.

Large scale outflow of foreign capital from the economy will reduce resources and
thus production potential of the country will fall. Fall in production potential in turn
will shift the PP-Curve downwards.

The measure of price elasticity of demand has a minus sign because there is inverse
relation between price and demand of a normal good, while the measure of price
elasticity of supply has plus sign because there is direct relation between price and
supply of a good.

The feature signifies that the number of buyers in a perfectly competitive market is
so large that any individual buyer is not in a position to influence the market price on
its own by purchasing more or less. It is because the individual buyer's share in total
purchase in the market is insignificant.

284

Maximum price ceiling refers to imposition of upper limit on the price of a good by
the government. For example, in the diagram OP is price ceiling while equilibrium
price is OP1. At this price the producers are willing to supply only PA (Or OQ1)
while consumers demand PB (Or OQ2). The effect of the ceiling is that shortage,
equal to AB (O1Q2) is created, which may further lead to black marketing.

For blind Candidates Only:

Price ceiling means putting the upper limit by the government on the price that can
be charged by the producers of a good from the buyers.

Maximum price ceiling, is lower than equilibrium price, leads to rise in demand and
fall in supply. This creates shortage of the good in the market. This may lead to black
marketing.

The producer's equilibrium conditions are: (i) MC = MR and (ii) MC > MR

after equilibrium.
Suppose MC > MR. In this situation it will be profitable for the firm to produce
more or less depending upon relative changes in MC and MR till MC = MR.

Suppose MC < MR. It will be profitable for the producer to produce more till
MC = MR.
MC= MR is not a sufficient condition to ensure equilibrium. Given MC = MR,
suppose the behaviour of MC and MR is such that if one more unit is produced.
MC becomes less than MR.
Then in this case it will be profitable for the firm to produce more. Therefore, in this
case though MC = MR the producer is not in equilibrium. However, if after MC =
MR output MC becomes greater than MR, it will be most advantageous for the
firm to produce only upto MC = MR.

Given equilibrium, demand increases.

Price remaining unchanged, excess demand emerges.

This leads to competition among buyers causing price to rise.

Rise in price causes fall (contraction) in demand and rise (expansion) in supply.

The Inflationary Gap is the amount by which the aggregate demand exceeds
aggregate supply at the full employment level. It is called inflationary because it leads
to rise in price level.

Bepo Rate is the rate of interest at which central bank lends to commercial banks
for a short period. When central bank raises Repo Rate, the borrowings by the
commercial banks become costly. This forces the commercial banks to raise their
lending rates. People borrow less, and therefore spend less. This helps in reducing
inflationary gap.

OR

Deflationary Gap is the amount by which the aggregate demand falls short of aggregate
supply at the full employment level. It is called deflationary because it leads to a fall
in price level.

(Diagram not required)

Open Market Operations refer to buying and selling of government securities by

the central bank in the open market. Central bank can reduce deflationary gap by
buying securities. Those who sell receive payments by cheques from the central
bank. The money flows out from Central bank into the commercial banks. This
raises lending capacity of commercial banks. Banks lend more. Spending rises which
reduces deflationary gap.

Government can influence allocation of resources by influencing market mechanism

through taxes, subsidies and direct participation in production. Heavy taxes can be
imposed on production units engaged in producing harmful products like liquor,
cigarettes etc. Tax concessions and subsidies can be given to encourage production
of products useful for the masses. Government can directly produce goods and
services normally ignored by the private sector due to lack of enough profits.

The measure of price elasticity of demand has a minus sign because there is inverse
relation between price and demand of a normal good, while the measure of price
elasticity of supply has plus sign because there is direct relation between price and
supply of a good.

This implies that buyers do not differentiate between products of different firms in
the industry. As such they are willing to pay only the same price for the products of
all the firms. As a result a uniform price prevails in the market.

When government imposes lower limit on a price that may be charged for a particular
good or service, it is called minimum price ceiling e.g. price OP1. At this price the
producers are willing to supply P1B or (OQ2) While consumers demand only P1A
(=OQ1). Unable to sell all they want to sell, the producers may try to illegally sell
below the minimum price. (Answer based on minimum wages is also correct)

293

For blind Candidates Only:

When government imposes a lower limit on a price that may be charged by the
producers of a good or service, it is called price floor.

Since this price is above the equilibrium price, at this price producers are willing to
supply more but the buyers are willing to buy less. This creates surplus in the market.
Due to this producers may adopt illegal ways and sell the product or service at a
lower price.

The Phases are :

Phase: I MP rises upto A
Phase: II MP falls but is positive i.e. between A and B.
Phase: III MP falls and is negative i.e. after B

Reasons
Phase I : Initially variable input is too small as compared to the fixed input, As
production is increased there is specialization of variable inputs and efficient use of
the fixed input leading to rise in productivity of the variable input. As a result MP
rises.
Phase II : After a level of output a pressure on fixed input leads to fall in productivity
of the variable input. MP starts falling but remains positive.
Phase III : The amount of variable input becomes too large in comparison to the
fixed input causing decline in total product. MP becomes negative

Suppose MC = MR condition is not met. Let MC > MR. In this it will be
profitable for the firm to produce more or less depending upon the relative changes
in MC and MR till MC = MR. Similarly, if MC < MR it will also be profitable to
produce more till MC = MR.

Now Suppose 'MC > MR after equilibrium condition is not met' and MC < MR
after equilibrium. In this case the firm will not be in equilibrium, because it can increase
its profits by producing more.

Given equilibrium, Supply 'decreases'.

Price remaining unchanged, excess demand emerges.

Excess demand leads to competition between buyers causing price to rise.

Fixed Exchange Rate is the exchange rate fixed by the government / central bank
and is not influenced by the demand and supply of foreign exchange.

Flexible exchange rate is the exchange rate determined by the forces of demand
and supply of foreign exchange in the market and is influenced by the market
forces:

OR
Managed floating exchange rate is the flexible exchange rate with intervention by
the central bank through the market for foreign exchange to reduce fluctuations in
the rate. When foreign exchange rate is too high, the central bank starts selling the
foreign currency from its reserves. When it is too low central bank starts buying
foreign currency in the market.

'Borrowings from abroad' is recorded in the 'capital account' of BOP account

because it increases international liability of the country.

It is recorded on the credits side because it brings in foreign exchange into the

As the banker to the banks, the Central Bank holds a part of the cash reserves of
commercial banks. From these reserves it lends to commercial banks when they
are in need of funds. Central bank also provides cheque clearing and remittance
facilities to the commercial banks.

OR
The central bank is the sole authority for the issue of currency in the country. It
promotes efficiency in the financial system. It leads to uniformity in the issue of currency,

Money supply has two components: Currency and demand deposits with
commercial banks. Currency is issued by the central bank while deposits are created
by commercial banks by lending money to the people. In this way commercial banks
also create money.

Commercial banks lend money mainly to investors. The rise in investment in the
economy leads to rise in national income through the multiplier effect.

Deficient Demand : is the amount by which the aggregated demand falls short
of aggregate supply at full employment level. It causes fall in price level.

Bank Rate: is the rate of interest at which central bank lends to commercial banks
for long term. The central bank can reduce deficient demand by lowering Bank
Rate. When central bank lowers bank rate. Commercial banks also lower their
lending rates. Since borrowing becomes cheaper, people borrow more. This leads
to rise in aggregate demand and thus helps in reducing deficient demand.

28

29

Excess Demand : is the amount by which the aggregated demand exceeds

aggregate supply at full employment level. It causes inflation.

Reverse Repo Rate : is the rate of interest paid by the central bank on deposits
by commercial banks. Central Bank can reduce excess demand by raising the Reverse
Repo Rate. When the rate is raised, it encourages the commercial banks to park
their funds with the central bank. This reduces lending capacity of the commercial
banks. Lending by the commercial banks to public declines leading to fall in aggregate
demand.

Government can reduce inequalities through its tax and expenditure policy.
Government can charge higher rate of tax from higher income groups by imposing
higher rate of income tax and higher rate on goods and services purchased by the
rich. The money so collected can be spent on the poor in the form of free education,
free medical facilities, cheaper housing etc. in order to raise their disposable
income.

Samir Gupta started a telecommunication company, 'Donira Ltd.' to manufacture

economical mobile phones for the Indian rural market with 15 employees. The
company did very well in its initial years. As the product was good and marketed
well, the demand of its products went up. To increase production the company
decided to recruit additional employees. Samir Gupta, who was earlier taking all
decisions for the company had to selectively disperse the authority. He believed
that subordinates are competent, capable and resourceful and can assume
responsibility for effective implementation of their decisions. This paid off and the

Functional foremanship is a technique which aims to improve the quality

of supervision at shop floor.

Taylor identified a list of qualities of a good foreman or a supervisor.

proposed eight specialists.

In this technique, planning is separated from execution.

It is an extension of the principle of division of work and specilaisation.

Taylor suggested four foremen for planning and four foremen for
execution.
The four foremen for planning were route clerk; instruction card clerk,
time and cost clerk and disciplinarian and four foremen for execution
were gang boss-speed boss, repair boss and inspector.

The four foremen for planning would draft instructions for the workers,
specify the route of production, prepare time and cost sheet and ensure
discipline respectively.

The four foremen for execution were responsible for timely and accurate
completion of the job, keeping machines and tools ready for operation
by the workers, ensuring proper working conditions of machines and
tools and checking the quality of work.

a reasonable price. At the end of the day she was also distributing the leftover food in the nearby night-shelters.

Marking Scheme Accountancy 67/1/1

General Instructions
1

Marking scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity in the marking. The
answers given in the marking scheme are suggested answers. The content is thus indicative.
If a student has given any other answer which is different from the one given in the
marking scheme but conveys the same meaning, such answers should be given full
weightage.

2.

Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should

not be done according to one's own interpretation or any other consideration-Marking.
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.

3.

The Head-Examiner has to go through the first five answer scripts evaluated by each
evaluator to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in
the Marking Scheme. The remaining answer scripts meant for evaluation shall be given
only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.

4.

If a question has parts, please award marks on the right hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written in the
left hand margin and encircled.

5.

If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left hand margin and
encircled.

6.

If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more
marks should be retained and other answer scored out.

7.

No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized

only once.

S.

Deductions up to 25% of the marks must be made if the student has not drawn formats
of the Journal and Ledger and has not given the narrations.

9.

A full scale of marks I-SO has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if
the answer deserves it.

10. No marks are to be deducted or awarded for writing / not writing 'TO and BY' while
preparing Journal and Ledger accounts.
11. In theory questions, credit is to be given for the content and not for the format.
12. In compliance to the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India, Board has decided
to provide photocopy of the answer book(s) to the candidates who will apply for it along
with the requisite fee from 2012 examination. Therefore, it is all the more important that
the evaluation is done strictly as per the value points given in the marking scheme so that
the Board could be in a position to defend the evaluation at any forum.
379

13. In the light of the above judgment instructions have been incorporated in the guidelines for
Centre Superintendents to ensure that the answer books of all the appeared candidates have
been sent to the Board's office and in the Guidelines for spot evaluation for the Examiners that
they have to evaluate the answer books strictly in accordance with the value points given in
the marking scheme and the correct set of the question paper. The examiner(s) shall also have
to certify this.
14. Every Examiner should stay up to sufficiently reasonable time normally 5-6 hours every day
and evaluate 20-25 answer books.
15. In the past it has been observed that the following are the common types of errors committed
by the Examiners-,

Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer script

Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it or deviation from the marking
scheme.

Wrong transference of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.

Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.

Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page

Wrong grand total

Marks in words and figures not tallying

Wrong transference to marks from the answer book to award list

Answers marked as correct but marks not awarded.

Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong but no marks awarded.

16. While evaluating the answer scripts if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as (X) and awarded zero(0) Marks.
17. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page or totaling error detected
by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work
as also of the Board. Hence in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, It is again
reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
I8. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the Guidelines for
Spot Evaluation before starting the actual evaluation.
19. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the
title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.

Charu's old share = 3/7
Charu surrenders = 1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10 in favour of Tanu
Charu's new share = 3/7 - 1/10 = 23/70 1
Tanu's share = 1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10

So, Sahil's new share = 33/70 - 7/70 = 26/70
Charu's old share = 23/70
Charu surrenders in favour of Puneet = 1/7 x 3/10 = 3/70
Charu's new share = 23/70 - 3/70 = 20/70
Tanu's new share = 14/70
Puneet's new share = 1/7 or 10/70

Q.24 Satnam, an IIT-IIM graduate, started three chemists shops at Amritsar,
Patiala and Chandigarh in the name of 'Quality Medicines'. Encouraged
with the success of these shops Satnam opened 50 more shops in different
parts of Punjab. His strategy was to cut price, focus on lower and upper
middle class and open shops near hospitals. He operated on very thin
margins. But he was not able to maintain sufficient funds to meet the dayto-day expenses of the business. The staff at the shops did not give much
attention to the customers and there was very poor system of control.
Because of this mismanagement he started incurring huge losses and his
business failed.
Based on the above paragraph, identify and explain any four causes of
business failure of Satnam.
Ans Causes of business failure of Satnam: (Four)
1.

lack of adequate cash flow: Many small businesses fail because owners
have a difficult time projecting what cash will come in every month, and thus,
how much can go out. Satnam failed to estimate the correct expense which is
required to run the business on a daily basis.

2.

Management incompetence: Satnam worked on very thin margins which

led to huge losses as well as he did not have control over his staff.

3.

Diminished customer base: Satnam did not keep a track of his customer
base. Competition can cause the customer base to diminish.

4.

Poor system of control: Satnam could not have proper internal control
activities which led to the failure of his business.
