Read the following instructions carefully.

I. This question paper contains 85 objective type questions. Q.I to Q.20 carry one mark
each and Q.2 I to Q.85 carry two marks each.
2. Attempt all the questions.
3. Questions must be answered on Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by darkening the
appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C, D) using HB pencil against the question number on
the left hand side of the ORS. Each question has only one correct answer. In case you
wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely.
4. Wrong answers will carry NEGATIVE marks.

In Q.l to Q.ZO, 0.25 mark will be

deducted for each wrong answer. In Q.21 to Q.76, Q.78, Q.80, Q.82 and in Q.84, 0.5
mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. However, there is no negative marking in
Q.77, Q.79, Q.81, Q.83 and in Q.85. More than one answer bubbled against a question
will be taken as an incorrect response. Unattempted questions will not carry any marks.
5. Write your registration number, your name and name of the examination centre at the

specified locations on the right half of the ORS.
