 Note :  A question may vary in difficulty level from individual to individual as such the approximation in respect of each question will be made by the paper setter on the basis of general anticipation from the group as a whole taking the examination.  The provision is only to make the paper balance in its weight rather than to determine the pattern of marking at any stage.
