GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• The Daily Practice Problem Sheet contains 30 MCQ's. For each question only one option is correct. Darken the correct circle/
bubble in the Response Grid provided on each page.
• You have to evaluate your Response Grids yourself with the help of solution booklet.
• Each correct answer will get you 4 marks and 1 mark shall be deduced for each incorrect answer. No mark will be given/ deducted
if no bubble is filled. Keep a timer in front of you and stop immediately at the end of 60 min.
• The sheet follows a particular syllabus. Do not attempt the sheet before you have completed your preparation for that syllabus.
Refer syllabus sheet in the starting of the book for the syllabus of all the DPP sheets.
• After completing the sheet check your answers with the solution booklet and complete the Result Grid. Finally spend time to
analyse your performance and revise the areas which emerge out as weak in your evaluation.
