Question:

DIRECTIONS: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below:

The order of attempting the sections for maximum net score would be EL-QA-GA-LR.

In the first 125 mm, 50 questions each of EL, QA and GA can be attempted. In the remaining 25 min, (5 + 15 = 20) questions of LR can be attempted. Thus, the maximum possible net score

=37.5 + 37.5 + 37.5 + 13.75 = 126.25
