SECTION IV
Matrix-Match Type
In this section each question contains statements given in two columns, which are to be matched.
The statements in Column I are labelled (A), (B), (C) and (D), while the statements in Column II
are labelled (p), (q), (r), (s) and (t). Any given statement in Column I can have correct matching
with ONE OR MORE statement(s) in Column II. The appropriate bubbles corresponding to the
answers to these questions have to be darkened as illustrated in the following example.
If the correct matches are A—p, s and t; B—q and r; C—p and q; D—s then the correct darkening
of bubbles will look like the following.
Q 28. Match the statements/experessions given in Column I with the values given in Column II.
Column I Column II
Q 30. Match the statements/expressions in Column I with the open intervals in Column II.
Column I Column II

the correct answers to question numbers X, Y, Z and W (say) are 6,0,9 and 2 respectively, then
the correct darkening of bubbles will look like the following:
