SECTION 3 (Maximum Marks: 16)

 This section contains TWO questions.
 Each question contains two columns, Column I and Column II
 Column I has four entries (A), (B), (C) and (D)
 Column II has five entries (P), (Q), (R), (S) and (T)
 Match the entries in Column I with the entries in Column II
 One or more entries in Column I may match with one or more entries in Column II.
 The ORS contains a 4  5 matrix whose layout will be similar to the one shown below:
(A) (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T)
(B) (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T)
(C) (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T)
(D) (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T)
 For each entry in Column I, darken the bubbles of all the matching entries. For example, if entry (A) in Column I
matches with entries (Q), (R) and (T), then darken these three bubbles in the ORS. Similarly, for entries (V), (C)
and (D).
 Marking entry in Column I.
+2 If only the bubble(s) corresponding to all the correct match (s) is (are) darkened.
0 If none of the bubbles is darkened.
–1 In all other cases.
