out the answer sheet and fill in the particulars carefully.

3. The test is of 3 hours duration

4. The test booklet consists of 90 questions. The maximum marks are 360

5. There are three parts in the question paper A,B,C consisting of physics, chemistry and mathematics having
30 questions in each part of equal weightage. Each question is allotted 4 (four) marks for correct re-
sponse.

6. Candidates will be awarded marks as stated above in instruction No.5 for correct response of each
question. 1/4 (one fourth) marks will be deducted for indicating incorrect response of each question. No
deduction from the total score will be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet.

7. There is only one correct response for each question. Filling up more than one response in any question
will be treated as wrong response and marks for wrong response will be deducted accordingly as per
instruction 6 above.

8. Use Blue/Black Ball Pen only for writting partulars/marking responses on side-1 and side-2 of the An-
swer sheet. Use of pencil is strictly prohibited.

3) Statement - I is true, Statement - II is false
4) Statement - I is false, Statement - II is true

false when additional shunt is connected across ammeter net resistance decreases hence
range increases. Statement – II is true
