Topic Covered
Mathematics : NMTC full syllabus

GENERAL INSTRUCTION:

1. Each question carries 1 mark.

2. a) This is a Multiple Choice and fill in the blanks test. In multiple choices each Question is followed by four
answers (A), (B), (C) and (D). Only one of them is correct. When you have decided on your choice, shade the
corresponding letter in the box against the question number.
b) In the case of fill in the blanks questions write the correct answer in the space provided.
3. a) If you are unable to solve a problem, it is better not to answer the question. Avoid guessing, since you are
penalized for each wrong answer.
b) ½ mark will be deducted for wrong answers in part A.
c) ¼ mark will be deducted for wrong answers in part B.
4. Be certain that you understand thoroughly the coding system for your answer sheet. If you are not sure, ask your
supervisor to clarify it.
5. You are permitted to use Blank rough paper. No other aid, like the instrument box, calculator, etc., are permitted.
6. Before commencing to write your answers, fill in the details of your Bio-data (Name, Roll number) in the
appropriate places in the response sheet.
7. After completion, return only the response sheet. The question paper and the rough-worksheets may be retained
by you or as directed by your supervisor.
8. When your supervisor instructs you to begin, you have 120 minutes of working time.
