General Instructions :
The question paper is divided into four sections :
(1) Section A : Q. No. 1 contains eight multiple choice type questions carrying two
marks each.
Q. No. 2 contains four very short answer type questions carrying one mark each.
(2) Section B : Q. No. 3 to 14 contains twelve short answer type questions carrying
two marks each (Attempt any eight)
(3) Section C : Q. No. 15 to 26 contains twelve short answer type questions carrying
three marks each (Attempt any eight)
(4) Section D : Q. No. 27 to 34 contains eight long answer type questions carrying
four marks each (Attempt any five)
(5) Use of log table is allowed. Use of a calculator is not allowed.
(6) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
(7) Use of graph paper is not necessary. Only rough sketch of graph is expected.
(8) For each multiple choice type questions, it is mandatory to write the correct
answer along with its alphabet, e.g., (a)…/(b)…/(c)…/(d)… . No mark(s) shall be
given if only the correct answer or the alphabet of the correct answer is written.
Only the first attempt will be considered for evaluation.
(9) Start answer to each section on a new page.
