Instructions
1. Please make sure that there are total 10 problems in this paper.
2. The Time limit for this exam is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Submissions after that will not be
evaluated.
3. Write your solution in an A4 sheet, scan it upstraight and upload the solutions page-wise
in the google classroom. Else the submission will not be evaluated. Skipping the essential
proofs will not get full credit.
4. Out of the total 10 problems, answering completely any 5 of them will give you
full marks for this paper. Only 5 problems will be evaluated, so there is no use of
answering more than 5 problems.
5. Do not attempt to search for the solutions online as you are proctored and all
solutions available online are available to us as well, so we would easily identify
you if you try to see solutions online. Those people will be directly removed from
this batch.
