question paper may be used for Rough Work.
8. All questions carry equal marks. Each correct answer carries 1 mark. No NEGATIVE marks for wrong
answers.
9. Shade with HB Pencil one of the four ovals against each question number in the Answer Sheet, which
according to you correspond to the correct answer.
10. If you want to change any answer, erase the Pencil shading thoroughly and shade the new oval clearly.
Only one oval for each question should remain finally shaded. Answers with multiple shading will
be considered as wrong answer.
11. Use the answer Sheet carefully. No spare Answer Sheet will be given.
