SECTION–I(ii) : (Maximum Marks : 24)

 This section contains SIX questions.
 Each question has FOUR options for correct answer(s). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these
four option(s) is (are) correct option(s).
 For each question, choose the correct option(s) to answer the question.
 Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme:
Full Marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen.
Partial Marks : +2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen,
both of which are correct options.
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen
and it is a correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.
 For Example : If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with
second option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options will result in +4
marks. Selecting only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without
selecting any incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only
one of the three correct options (either first or third or fourth option), without selecting any incorrect
option (second option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second
option in this case), with or without selection of any correct option(s) will result in –2 marks.
