Please read the instructions carefully:

The important points to note:
I Each question carries 04 (four) marks and, for each correct answer candidate will get 04 (four) marks.
|II For each incorrect answer, 01 (one) mark will be deducted from the total score.
IILTo answer a question, the candidate has to find, for each question, the correct answer/ best option.
IVHowever, after the process of thechallenge ofkey, ifmore than one option is found to be correct then all'any one
ofthe multiple correct/best options marked will be given four marks (+4).
