Course Code: MA111 Course Name: Engineering Mathematics-II
Date: 20/06/2022 Time: 5.30 PM - 6.30 PM Maximum Marks: 15

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Answer ALL the questions and rough work should be done only in the space provided for it.
2. Encircle the right choice(s) for multiple choice questions.
3. If a multiple choice question carries ‘M’ marks and it has ‘N’ correct options, then each correct option carries
‘M/N’ marks and each wrong answer carries ‘-M/N’ marks. If net marks gained for a question is negative,
a zero mark will be awarded.
