16. For a current in a long straight solenoid, N and S poles are created at the
two ends. Among the following statements, the incorrect statement is :
(a) The magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are in the form of
straight lines, which indicates that the magnetic field is uniform at
all points inside the solenoid.
(b) The strong magnetic field produced inside the solenoid can
magnetize the soft iron placed inside it.
(c) The pattern of the magnetic field associated with a current
carrying solenoid is different from the pattern of the magnetic field
around a bar magnet.
(d) The N and S poles exchange positions when the direction of
current through the solenoid is reversed.

For questions number 17 to 20, two statements are given one labelled
as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct
answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given
below :
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the
correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not
the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
17. Assertion (A) : In the following reaction
ZnO + C Zn + CO
ZnO undergoes reduction.
Reason (R) : Carbon is a reducing agent that reduces ZnO to Zn.
18. Assertion (A) : Human populations show a great deal of variations in
traits.
Reason (R) : All variations in a species have equal chances of surviving
in the environment in which they live.
19. Assertion (A) : The walls of atria are thicker than those of the ventricles.
Reason (R): Ventricles have to pump blood into various organs at high
pressure.
20. Assertion (A): Two magnetic field lines around a current carrying
straight wire do not intersect each other.
Reason (R): The magnitude of the magnetic field produced at a given
point increases as the current through the wire increases.

37. Metals are required for a variety of purposes. For this we need their
extraction from their ores. Ores mined from the earth are usually
contaminated with many impurities which must be removed prior to the
extraction of metals. The extraction of pure metal involves the following
steps :

(2) Extraction of the metal from the concentrated ore
(3) Refining of the metal

combined to increase the magnification and sharpness of the image. The
net power (P) of the lenses placed in contact is given by the algebraic sum
of the powers of the individual lenses P1, P2, P3
P = P1 + P2 + P3

This is also termed as the simple additive property of the power of lens,
widely used to design lens systems of cameras, microscopes and
telescopes. These lens systems can have a combination of convex lenses
and also concave lenses.

Secondary School Examination, 2023
Marking Scheme – Science (SUBJECT CODE -086)
(PAPER CODE –31/5/1)
General Instructions: -

1. You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious
problems which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching
profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must
read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.

2. “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect
the life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to
anyone, publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may
invite action under various rules of the Board and IPC.”

3. Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not
be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking
Scheme should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while
evaluating, answers which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are
innovative, they may be assessed for their correctness otherwise and due marks be
awarded to them. In class-X, while evaluating two competency-based questions,
please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not from marking
scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks should
be awarded.

4. The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers. These are in
the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students
can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be
awarded accordingly.
5. The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each
evaluator on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the
instructions given in the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be
zero after delibration and discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation
shall be given only after ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of
individual evaluators.

6. Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.

7. If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

8. If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

9. If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more
marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.

086_31/5/1_Science # Page-1
10. No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only
once.

11. A full scale of marks 80 (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question

Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves
it.

12. Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books
per day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).This is in view of the
reduced syllabus and number of questions in question paper.

13. Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past:-
• Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
• Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
• Wrong totaling of marks awarded on a reply.
• Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
• Wrong question wise totaling on the title page.
• Wrong totaling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
• Wrong grand total.
• Marks in words and figures not tallying / not same.
• Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
• Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
• Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.

14. While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should
be marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0)Marks.

15. Any unassessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all
concerned, it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and
judiciously.

16. The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines
for spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation. Examiners should acquaint
themselves with the guidelines given in the Guidelines for spot Evaluation before starting
the actual evaluation.

17. Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over
to the title page, correctly totaled and written in figures and words.

18. The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on
payment of the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head
Examiners/Head Examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that
evaluation is carried out strictly as per value points for each answer as given in the
Marking Scheme.
