Q.No.1 You have four choices for each objective type question as A,B,C and D. The choice which you think is correct, fill the
relevant circle in front of that question number on computerized answer sheet. Use marker or pen to fill the circles.
Cutting or filling two or more circles will result zero marks in that question. Attempt as many questions as given in
objective type question paper and leave other circle blank.
