Date and time: 17 Nov, 2008, 9:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Maximum Marks: 45
Important Instructions:
1. The question paper has two parts: I and II.
Part I of the paper contains 25 multiple choice objective questions.
For each question three choices A, B, C are given.
For the questions marked with * , multiple correct/incorrect choices
are possible. For all other questions, only one of the given choices is
correct.
Answers for all questions of part-I must be entered in the separate
answer-sheet provided for this part.
You should not only mark the correct choice by () but also mark
other choices by () .
For example, if you think for a question, A is correct and B and C are
wrong, then write
Question Number A B C

If a blank is left unmarked for a question, that question will not be
checked.
Check that all the pages of your question paper have the same code.
2. Maximum time allotted for Part I is 75 minutes, after which the answer
sheets for Part I will be collected back. If you nish attempting Part I
early, you can start answering Part II.
3. Part II of the paper is of descriptive type for 20 marks. Attempt all the
questions.
4. Make an index for the part II of the answerbook.
