MTA-IAPT Pre-Regional Mathematical Olympiad(PRMO),2018
Kerala region and Kodagu District
Date: September 23, 2018 Time: 10 AM to 1 PM
Number of Questions: 30 Max Marks: 102
INSTRUCTIONS
1, Use of mobile phones, smartphones, tpads, calculators, programmable wrist watches is
STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed inside the examination
hall.
2. The correction is done by machines through scanning. On the OMR Sheet, darken bubbles
completely with a black pencil or a black or blue ball pen. Darken the bubbles completely only
‘after you are sure of your answer: else, erasing may lead to the OMR sheet getting damaged
and the machine may not be able to read the answer.
3. The name, email address, and date of birth entered on the OMR sheet will be your login
credentials for accessing your PRMO score.
4. Incomplete/Incorrectly and carelessly filled information may disqualify your candidature.
5. Each question has a one or two digit number as answer. The first diagram below shows
improper and proper way of darkening the bubbles with detailed instructions. The second
diagram shows how to mark a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number.

joe] ea!
6. The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darkened bubble will be considered
as your final answer.
7. Questions 1 to 6 carry 2 marks each; questions 7 to 21 carry 3 marks each; questions 22 to
30 carry 5 marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9, There are no negative marks.
10. Do all rough work in the space provided below for it. You also have blank pages at the end
of the question paper to continue with rough work.
11. After the exam, you may take away the Candidate’s copy of the OMR sheet.
12. Preserve your copy of OMR sheet till the end of current olympiad season. You will need it
later for verification purposes.
13. You may take away the question paper after the examination.1. A right circular cone with base diameter 7 fs such that its total surface area fs numerically
