SECTION–1 (Maximum marks :32)

• This section contains EIGHT (08) questions.

• Each question has FOUR options ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four option(s) is (are)
correct answer(s).
• Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme.
Full marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen;
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen
and both of which are correct
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen
and it is a correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If two or more options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered)
Negative Marks : –1 in all other cases
• For example, in a question, if (A),(B) and (D) are the ONLY three options corresponding to
correct answer, then
choosing ONLY (A), (B) and (D) will get +4 marks
choosing ONLY (A) and (B) will get +2 marks
choosing ONLY (A) and (D) will get +2 marks
choosing ONLY (B) and (D) will get +2 marks
choosing ONLY (A) will get +1 mark
choosing ONLY (B) will get +1 mark
choosing ONLY (D) will get +1 mark
choosing no option (i.e., the question is unanswered) will get 0 marks; and
choosing any other combination of options will get –1 mark

Section 3
• This section contains TWO (02) List -Match sets
• Each List Match set has TWO (02) Multiple Choice Questions.
• Each List Match set has two lists. List I and List II
• List I has Four entries (I), (II),(III) and (IV) and List II has Six entries (P),(Q)(R),(S),(T)and (U)
• Four options are given in each multiple choice question based on List I and List II and only one of
these four options satisfies the condition asked in the multiple choice question.
• Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme.
Full marks +3 If ONLY the option corresponding to the correct combination is chosen
Zero Marks 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e., the question is unanswered)
Negative marks –1 in all other cases.
Anser the following by appropriately matching the lists based on the information given in the
paragraph

1. Let f(x) = sin(cosx) and g(x) = cos(2 sinx) be two functions defined for x > 0. Define the
following sets whose elements are written in the increasing order :
X = {x : f(x) = 0}, Y = {x : f'(x) = 0},
Z = {x : g(x) = 0}, W = {x : g'(x) = 0},
List -I contains the sets X, Y, Z and W. List-II contains some information regarding these sets.
