each.
5. Questions 50 51 are common data questions and question pairs (52 53)
and (54 55) are linked answer questions. The answer to the second
questions of the linked answer question depends on the answer to the first
question of the pair. If the first question is wrongly answered or is un-
attempted, then the answer to the second question will not be evaluated.

Questions 56 60, 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For
Questions 26 51 and Questions 61 65,2/3 mark will be deducted for
each wrong answer.
9. The questions pairs (52 53), and (54 55) are questions with linked
answers. There will be negative marks only for wrong answers to the first
question of the linked answer question pair i.e. for Question 52 and 54, 2/3
will be deducted for wrong answer. There is no negative marking for

61. Honeybees, unlike many other varieties of bees (such as bumblebees and wasps),
are able to live through the winter. The 30,000 to 40,000 bees within a honeybee
hive could not, individually, move about in cold winter temperatures. But when
clustering together in a dense ball, the bees generate heat by constantly moving

their body parts. The cluster also moves slowly about the hive, eating honey stored
in the combs. This nutrition, in addition to the heat generated by the cluster, enables
the honeybee to survive the cold winter months.
From the four options find the statement which best describes the above passage.
(A) Honeybees, unlike many other varieties of bees, are able to live through the
winter by clustering together in a dense ball for body warmth.
(B) Honeybees survive cold winter months by eating honey stored in the combs and
generating heat.
(C) 30,000 to 40,000 honeybees with in a hive survive by forming cluster together.
(D) Honeybees unlike other bees, form clusters containing 30,000 to 40,000 bees in
winter for survival which moves slowly and eat stored honey.
62. Mr. Das decided to walk down the escalator of a mall. He found that if he walks down
26 steps, he requires 30seconds to reach the bottom. However, if he steps down 34
stair she would only require 18 seconds to get to the bottom. If the time is measured
from the moment the top step begins to descend to the time he steps off the last step
at the bottom, find out the height of the stair way insteps?
