2. The question paper consist of 29 questions divided into three sections A, B and C.
Section A comprises of10 questions of one mark each, section B comprises of 12
questions of four marks each and section Ccomprises of 7 questions of six marks each.
3. All questions in Section A are to be answered in one word, one sentence or as per the
exact requirement ofthe question.
4. There is no overall choice. However, Internal choice has been provided in 4 questions of
four marks and 2questions of six marks. You have to attempt only one of the
alternatives in all such questions.
5. Use of calculator is not permitted. You may ask for logarithmic tables, if required.
