This Question Paper consists of three sections A, B and C.
Candidates are required to attempt all questions from Section A and all questions
EITHER from Section B OR Section C.
Section A: Internal choice has been provided in two questions of two marks each, two
questions offour marks each and two questions ofsix marks each.
Section B: Internal choice has been provided in one question of two marks and one question
offour marks.
Section C: Internal choice has been provided in one question of two marks and one qlleSJion
offour marks.
A II working, including rough work, should be done on the same sheet as, and adjacent to the
rest of the answer.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets {].
Mathematical tables and graph papers are provided.
