MARKING SCHEME – MATHEMATICS-ENGLISH MEDIUM

HIGHER SECONDARY – FIRST YEAR - QUARTERLY EXAM SEP 2023

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Maximum Marks-90
1. The answers given in the marking scheme are Text Book and Solution Book bound.

2. If a student has given any answer which is different from one given in the marking

scheme, but carries the prescribed content meaning (rigorous) such answer should be

given full credit with suitable distribution.

3. Follow the foot notes which are given with certain answer – schemes.

4. If a particular stage is wrong and if the candidate writes the appropriate formula then award

1 mark for the formula (for the stage mark 2∗ ) , 2 mark for the formula (for the stage mark

3∗ ) This mark is attached with that stage. This is done with the aim that a student who did

the problem correctly without writing the formula should not be penalized. That is, mark

should not be deducted for not writing the formula.

* mark indicates these places in the scheme.

5. In the case of Part -II, Part II and Part IV, if the solution is correct then award full mark

directly. The stage mark is essential only if the part of the solution is incorrect.

6. Answers written only in black or blue ink should be evaluated.

Important Note for Part-II, Part-III and Part-I
In an answer to a question, between any two particular stages of marks
(greater than one ) if a student starts from a stage with correct step but reaches
the next stage with a wrong result then suitable credits should be given the
related steps instead of denying the entire marks meant for the stage.
