ƒ All Kinds of calculators or mobiles are not allowed to be used.
ƒ Solve each of the following problems; then indicate the correct answer by filling in the
corresponding oval on the answer sheet in the last page.
ƒ Darken no more than one oval for the same problem.
ƒ For the data sufficiency problems; each problem consists of a question and two statements,
labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data
given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Using the data given in
the statements plus your knowledge of mathematics, you must indicate in the answer
sheet; whether:
(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to
answer the question asked;
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to
answer the question asked;
(C) BOTH statement (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question
asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question.
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked;
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question
asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.
