INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES
1. This question book consists of 43 questions. You should attempt ALL questions in this question book.
6. If the additional space is needed to complete your answer, you will be provided by the invigilator. Clearly
write the number of question that you are answering on this additional paper.
7. Diagrams MUST be drawn in pencil and labeled in black or blue ink. All other working should be
written in blue or black ink.
8. Any working that you do not wish to be marked should be crossed out by a single line from right corner
of the calculation to the left corner of the same calculation.
9. If you have any questions at any time during the examination, you must raise your hand and wait for
invigilator. DO NOT attempt to communicate, by any means, with any other candidate at any time
before or during the examination.
10. At the end of examination, DO NOT speak or leave your seat until you have handed this question paper
and answer sheet to an invigilator and you have been told by an invigilator that you may leave the room.
