STATEMENT-2.

answered. Each question has four choices (A) (B) (C) (D) out of which only one is correct.
D. Marking Scheme.
12. For each question in Section I, you will be awarded 3 marks if you have darkened only the bubble
corresponding to the correct answer and zero mark if no bubble is darkened. In all other cases, minus one (–
1) mark will be awarded.
13. For each question in Section II, you will be awarded 4 marks, if you darken only the bubble corresponding to
the correct answer and zero mark if no bubble is darkened. In all other cases, (–1) mark will be awarded.
14. For each question in Section III, you will be awarded 3 marks, if you darken only the bubble corresponding
to the correct answer and zero mark if no bubble is darkened. In all other cases, (–1) mark will be awarded.
15. For each question in Section IV, you will be awarded 3 marks, if you darken only the bubble corresponding

Paragraph

The complex slope of a line passing through two points represented by

complex numbers z1 and z2is defined by ̅ ̅ and we shall denote by w. If zo
is complex number and c is a real number, then ̅ z + zo ̅ + c = 0
represents a straight line. Its complex slope is ̅
. Now consider two lines

 ̅+
̅ z + i = 0 —— (i)

and a ̅ + ̅z + b = 0 —— (ii)

where ,  and a, b are complex constants and their complex slopes be

denoted by w1 and w2 respectively.
