All parts of a ques. (a, b, etc.) should be answered at 1 place.
ans should be brief and to-the-point and be supplemented with neat sketches.
Unnecessary long ans may outcome in loss of marks.
Any missing or wrong data may be presumed suitably giving proper justification.
Figures to the right-hand side margin indicate full marks.
