INSTRUCTIONS
STRICTLY
1. Use of mobile phones, smartphones, ipads, calculators, programmable wrist watches is
PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed inside the examination hall.
2. 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 ue 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.
3. The registration number and date of birth will be your login credentials for accessing your
SCOre.

4. Incompletely, incorrectly or carelessly flled information may disqualify your candidature.

5. 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 seconddiagram shows
how to mark a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number.

INSTRUCTIONS
Q.1 Q.2
1. Think before your ink.
2. Markingshould be done with Blue/Black BallPoint Pen only.
3. Darken only one circle for each question as shown in
4705
Example Below.
WRONG METHODS CORRECT METHOD

4. If more than one circle is darkened or if the response is

marked in any other way as shown "WRONG" above, it shall
be treated as wrong way of marking.
5. Make the marks only in the spaces provided.
6. Carefully tear off the duplicate copy of the OMR wthout
tanpering the Original.
7. Please do not make any stray marks on the answer sheet.

6. The answer you writeon OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darkened bubble will be considered as
your final answer.

7. Questions 1 to 10 carry 2marks each; questions 11 to 20 carry 3 marks each; questions 21 to 30

carry 5marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9. Thereare no negative marks.
10. Doall 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.
11. After the exam, you may take away the Candidate's copy of the OMR sheet.
12. Preserve your copy of OMR sheet till the end of current olympiad season. You will need it later
for verification purposes.
13. You may take away the question paper after the examination.
Note:

1. gcd(a, b) denotes the greatest common divisor of integers a and b.

2. |æ denotes the largest integer less than or equal to æ.
3. For a positive real number m, Vm denotes the positive square root of m. For example, V4=+2.
4. Unless otherwise stated all numbers are written in decimal notation.

14. Initially, there are 3t0 particles at the origin (0,0). At each step the particles are moved to points
above the a-axis as follows: if there are n particles at any point (z,y), then of them are moved
