convenience.
Please remember the following for examination (if possible try this):
1. All Ur solution Theory or Programs must be in well manner and up to the point. Also
highlight important points.
2. If problem solved then please make a habit to outline Ur answers by drawing square or
underline it (Don’t use other ink pen other than blue or black).
3. If u attempt que -1 Part (a) and u wish to attempt then Part (b) or (c) of que -1 later but not
at the moment leave the space for it. But don’t solve other questions part and then again
remaining parts of que -1 its make lot of confusion for the checker so it must be ignore.
4. Finally all blank spaces are simply cross.
