IOQM MOCK 2

Instructions :
• All answers are in the integer range of 00 − 99. Although there is a non-zero chance of an
intentional bonus.
• Question paper consists of 30 problems. Problems 1 − 10 are 2 Markers, 11− 20 are 3
Markers and 21 − 30 are 5 Markers.
• Total time is 3 Hours.
• Answer Key will be provided tentatively three days after the mock.
• Syllabus - Fundamental of Mathematics, Algebra, Inequality, Number Theory, Triangle
Geometry, Miscellaneous.
• Assume angles in degrees, π = 22/7, numbers in base 10 until mentioned otherwise.
• Mock compiled by Abhishek Kumar.
• Difficulty is a subjective parameter, so a question which is a 3 marker equivalent to me
maybe a 2 marker equivalent to the atendee or vice-versa. Overall the paper is pretty
difficult. Good Luck!
