The question paper comprises of three Sections, A, B and C. You are to attempt all the sections.
All questions are compulsory.
There is no choice in any of the questions.
All questions of Section-A, Section-B and Section-C are to be attempted separately.
Question numbers 1 to 3 in Section-A are one mark questions. These are to be answered in one
word or in one sentence.
Question numbers 4 and 5 in Section-A are two marks questions. These are to be answered in
about 30 words each.
Question numbers 6 to 16 in Section-A are three marks questions. These are to be answered in
about 50 words each.
Question numbers 17 to 21 in Section-A are five marks questions. These are to be answered in
about 70 words each.
Section B has 3 OTBA questions. Question number 22 is two marks, Question number 23 is
three marks and Question number 24 is five marks question.
Question numbers 25 to 33 in Section-C are multiple choice questions based on practical skills.
Each question is a one mark question. You are to select one most appropriate response out of
the four provided to you.
Question numbers 34 to 36 in section C are two marks questions based on practical skills. These
are to be answered in about 30 words each.
