Duration: Three Hours Maximum Marks: 150

Read the following instructions carefully.
1. This question paper contains all objective
questions. Q. 1 to Q. 30 carries one mark each and
Q. 31 to Q.80 carries two marks each. Q. 81 to Q.
85 each contains part a and b. In these
questions, part a as well as b carry two marks
each.
2. Answer all the questions.
3. Questions must be answered on special machine
gradable Objective Response Sheet (ORS) by
darkening the appropriate bubble (marked A, B, C,
D) against the question number on the left hand
side of the ORS, using HB pencil. Each question
has only one correct answer. In case you wish to
change an answer, erase the old answer completely
using a good soft eraser.
4. There will be negative marking. In Q.1 to Q.30,
0.25 mark will be deduced for each wrong answer
and in Q. 31 to Q. 80, 0.5 mark will be deduced for
each wrong answer. In Q.81 to Q.85, for the part
a, 0.5 mark will be deduced for a wrong answer.
Marks for correct answers to part b of Q. 81 to
Q.85 will be given only if the answer to the
corresponding part a is correct. However, there is
no negative marking for part b of Q. 81 to Q. 85.
More than one answer bubbled against a question
will be deemed as an incorrect response.
5. Write your registration number, name and name of
the center at the specified locations on the right half
of the ORS.
6. Using HB pencil, darken the appropriate bubble
under each digit of your registration number and
the letters corresponding to your paper code.
7. Calculator is allowed in the examination hall.
8. Charts, graph sheets or tables are not allowed.
9. Use the blank pages given at the end of the
question paper for rough work.
10. This question paper contains 28 printed pages
including pages for rough work. Please check all
pages and report, if there is any discrepancy.

The symbols N, Z, R and C denote the set of
natural numbers, integers, real numbers and
complex numbers, respectively throughout the
paper.
