 This section contains EIGHT (8) questions.

 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four
options is correct
 Marking scheme:
For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories :
Full Marks : +4 If only the option(s) corresponding to all the correct option(s) is(are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +1 For selecting option corresponding to each correct option, provided NO
incorrect option is chosen.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the option is chosen.
Negative Marks : –1 In all other cases.
 For example, if (A), (C) and (D) are all the correct options for a question, darkening all these three will
result in +4 marks; darkening only (A) and (D) will result in +2 marks and darkening (A) and (B) will
result in –1 marks, as a wrong option is also darkened.

Conformation isomerism :

Different non-identical arrangement of atoms or group in a molecule that result by the rotation about a
single bond and that can easily be reconverted at room temperature are known as conformational
stereoisomers of conformers.
The different arrangement of atoms is space that result from the free rotation of group about C–C bond
axis are called conformers, and this phenomenon is called conformation isomerism. The basic
structure of the molecule various bond length and bond angle remain the same. There are infinite no. of
conformers of any molecule two out of them are defined as staggered and eclipsed.

 This section contains EIGHT (8) questions.

 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four
options is correct
 Marking scheme:
For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories :
Full Marks : +4 If only the option(s) corresponding to all the correct option(s) is(are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +1 For selecting option corresponding to each correct option, provided NO
incorrect option is chosen.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the option is chosen.
Negative Marks : –1 In all other cases.
 For example, if (A), (C) and (D) are all the correct options for a question, darkening all these three will
result in +4 marks ; darkening only (A) and (D) will result in +2 marks and darkening (A) and (B) will
result in –1 marks, as a wrong option is also darkened.
