decimal places, truncate/round-off the value to TWO decimal places; e.g. 6.25, 7.00, –0.33, –.30,
30.27, –127.30, if answer is 11.36777..... then both 11.36 and 11.37 will be correct).
 Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme:
Full Marks : +4, if ONLY the correct numerical value is entered as answer.
Zero Marks : 0 in all other cases.
Negative Marks : –1 in all other cases.
