SAMPLE QUESTION PAPER

Class:XI Maximum Marks: 70
Time Duration: 3 hrs No of pages: 2
General Instructions:
All questions are compulsory.
This question paper consists of four sections A, B, C and D. Section A contains 8
questions of one mark each, Section B is of 10 questions of two marks each, Section C is
of 9 questions of three marks each and Section D is of 3 questions of five marks each.
There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in one
question of 2 marks, one question of 3 marks and two questions of 5 marks weight age. A
student has to attempt only one of the alternatives in such questions.
Whenever necessary. The diagrams should be neat and properly labeled.
