Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Write your index number, name and class on the OMR Form in the spaces provided. Shade the appropriate boxes. There are thirty questions on this paper. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible answers A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft pencil on the OMR Form. Read the instructions on the OMR Form very carefully. Each correct answer will score one mark. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong answer. Any rough working should be done in this booklet. The use of an appropriate scientific calculator is expected, where necessary.
