Questions No. 1 and 5 are compulsory and out of the remaining, THREE are to be attempted
choosing at least ONE question from each Section.
Toe number of marks carried by a question/part is indicated against it.
1 Answers must be written in the medium authorized m the Admission Certificate which must
J be stated clearly on the cover of this Question-cum-Answer (QCA) BookJet in the space
provided.
No marks will be given for answers written in a medium other than the authorized one.
