ROLL NO (MASKED): XXXXXXXX
SUBJECT CODE: 041 (Maths)
Section A: Calculus
Q1. Integrate $\int x e^x dx$.
Ans: Using integration by parts: $\int u dv = uv – \int v du$
Let $u=x, dv=e^x dx \implies du=dx, v=e^x$.
$$ = x e^x – \int e^x dx $$
$$ = x e^x – e^x + C $$
$$ = e^x(x-1) + C $$
Q2. Evaluate $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 5x}{x}$.
Ans: Multiply and divide by 5.
$$ 5 \times \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 5x}{5x} = 5(1) = 5 $$
Section B: Vectors
Q3. Find projection of $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ on $\vec{b} = \hat{i} – \hat{j}$.
Ans: Projection $p = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}$.
$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (1)(1) + (1)(-1) = 1 – 1 = 0$.
So, projection is 0.
Q4. Find angle between vectors.
Ans: $\cos \theta = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| |\vec{b}|}$.

The Lifecycle of Your Answer Sheet
You write the exam. Cover page masks your identity.
Booklet spine is cut to separate pages.
High-speed scanners create a PDF.
Evaluators mark on screen (see Simulation tab).
Golden Rules for Scanning
✅ DO THIS
- Use Blue/Black Ball Pen.
- Write Question Numbers in the left margin.
- Use Dark Pencils (HB) for diagrams.
- Leave space between answers.
❌ AVOID THIS
- Do not use Gel Pens (smudging risk).
- Do not write in barcodes or office use columns.
- Do not use very light ink.
- Do not use Whitener (scans as black blobs).
FAQ
What if I leave a page blank?
The evaluator sees the whole PDF. Just write P.T.O so they know to scroll down.
Will graph paper be scanned?
Yes. Tie it securely in the middle of the booklet.
