Time: 3:00 Hrs Max. Marks: 100

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES:
➢ Use of mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, calculators, programmable wrist watches is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed inside the
examination hall.
➢ The correction is done by machines through scanning. On the OMR sheet, darken bubbles
completely with a black or blue ball pen. Please DO NOT use a pencil or a gel pen. Darken
the bubbles completely, only after you are sure of your answer; else, erasing may lead to
the OMR sheet getting damaged and the machine may not be able to read the answer.
➢ Incompletely, incorrectly or carelessly filled information may disqualify your candidature.
➢ Each question has a one- or two-digit number as answer. The first diagram below shows
improper and proper way of darkening the bubbles with detailed instructions. The second
diagram shows how to mark a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number.

➢ The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darkened bubble will be considered
as your final answer. Questions 1 to 10 carry 2 marks each; questions 11 to 20 carry 3
marks each; questions 21 to 30 carry 5 marks each.
➢ All questions are compulsory.
➢ There are no negative marks.
➢ Do all rough work in the space provided below for it. You also have blank pages at the
end of the question paper to continue with rough work.
