SECTION 3 (MAXIMUM MARKS : 12)<br />

• This section contains TO paragraphs.<br />

• ased on each paragraph, there are TO questions.<br />

• Each question has FOUR options (a), (b), (c) and (d). ONLY ONE<br />

of these four options is correct.<br />

• For each question, darken the bubble corresponding to the<br />

correct option in the ORS.<br />

• For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following<br />

categories :<br />

Full Marks : +3 If only the bubble corresponding to the correct<br />

option is darkened.<br />

Zero Marks : 0 In all other cases.<br />

fourth quadrants, respectively. Tangents to the circle at<br />

P and Q intersect the x-axis at R and tangents to the<br />

parabola at P and Q intersect the x-axis at S.<br />
