INSTRUCTION
Number of Questions : 30 Max. Marks : 102
1. Use of mobile phones, smartphones, ipads, calculators, programmable wrist watches is STRICTLY
PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed inside the examination hall.
2. The correction is done by machine through scanning. On OMR sheet, darken bubbles completely
with a black pencil or a black blue pen. Darken the bubbles completely only after you are sure of
your answer: else, erasing lead to the OMR sheet getting damaged and the machine may not be
able to read the answer.
3. The name, email address and date of birth entered on the OMR sheet will be your login credentials
for accessing your PROME score.
4. Incomplete /incorrectly and carelessly filled information may disqualify your candidature.
5. Each question has a one or two digit number as answer. The first diagram below shows improper
and proper way of darkening the bubble with detailed instructions. The second diagram shows how
to mark a 2–digit number and a 1–digit number.
6. The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darken bubble will be considered as your final
answer.
7. Questions 1 to 6 carry 2 marks each: Questions 7 to 21 carry 3 marks each: Questions
22 to 30 carry 5 marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9. There are no negative marks.
10. Do all rough work in the space provided below for it. You also have pages at the end of the question
paper to continue with rough work.
11. After the exam, you may take away the Candidate’s copy of the OMR sheet.
12. Preserve your copy of OMR sheet till the end of current Olympiad season. You will need it further for
verification purposes.
13. You may take away the question paper after the examination.

Draw BL perpendicular to AC and join L to D.

Since BCL = 30°. we get CBL = 60°. Since BLC is a right triangle with BCL = 30°, we have BL =
BC/2 = BD. Thus in triangle BLD, we observe that BL = BD and DBL = 60° and ADB = 45°, we get
ADL = 15° But DAL = 15°. Thus LD = LA. We hence have LD = LA = LB. This implies that L is the
