Duration: 1:00 hr. Maximum Marks: 50

Read the following instructions carefully

1. This question paper contains 30 objective questions. Q.1-1 O carry one mark each and
Q.11-30 carry two marks each .

2. Answer all the questions.

3. Questions must be answered on Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening the appropriate
bubble (marked A , B, C, D) using HB pencil against the question number. Each question has
only one correct answer. Jn case you wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely
using a good soft eraser.

4. There will be NEGATIVE marking . For each wrong answer 113rd of the full marks of the question
will be deducted. More than one answer marked against a question will be deemed as an
incorrect response and will be negatively marked .

5. Write your name & Roll No. at the specified locations on the right half of the ORS.

6. No charts or tables will be provided in the examination hall.

7. Choose the Closest numerical answer among the choices given .

8. If a candidate gives more than one answer, it will be treated as a wrong answer even if one
of the given answers happens to be correct and there will be same penalty as .above to that
questions.

9. If a question is left blank, i.e., no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for
that question.
