GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• The Daily Practice Problem Sheet contains 20 Questions divided into 5 sections.
Section I has 6 MCQs with ONLY 1 Correct Option, 3 marks for each correct answer and –1 for each incorrect answer.
Section II has 4 MCQs with ONE or MORE THAN ONE Correct options.
For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories:
Full marks: +4 If only the bubble(s) corresponding to all the correct option(s) is (are) darkened.
Partial marks: +1 For darkening a bubble corresponding to each correct option provided NO INCORRECT option is darkened.
Zero marks: If none of the bubbles is darkened.
Negative marks: –2 In all other cases.
Section III has 5 Single Digit Integer Answer Type Questions, 3 marks for each Correct Answer and 0 mark in all other
cases.
Section IV has Comprehension Type Questions having 4 MCQs with ONLY ONE corect option, 3 marks for each Correct
Answer and 0 mark in all other cases.
Section V has 1 Matching Type Question, 2 marks for the correct matching of each row and 0 mark in all other cases.
• You have to evaluate your Response Grids yourself with the help of Solutions.

This section contains 1 question. It contains statements given in two columns, which have to be matched. Statements in column I
B p q r s
are labelled as A, B, C and D whereas statements in column II are labelled as p, q, r and s. The answers to these questions have
