MATHEMATICS
Class Test 2
Time: 3 hours Maximum Marks: 250

Please read each of the following instructions carefully before attempting questions:
1) There are eight questions divided into 2 parts.
2) You have to attempt five questions in all. Question 1 and 5 are compulsory and out of
the remaining questions, three are to be attempted. Choose at least one question from each
section.
3) The number of marks carried by a question/part is indicated against it. Assume suitable
data, if considered necessary and indicate the same clearly.
4) Unless and otherwise stated, symbols and notations carry their usual standard meaning.
5) Attempts of questions shall be counted in chronological order. Unless struck off, attempt
of a question shall be counted even if attempted partly. Any page or portion of the page
left blank in the answer booklet, must be clearly struck off.
6) Do not write anything in the margins of the answer booklet. Rough page only at the end.
