Important Notes for Long Questions

According to the official scheme, both part (a) and part (b) of any long question can be numerical problems or both can be theory questions. This may vary from board to board, so students are advised to prepare both theoretical concepts and numerical problems from all chapters.

Marks Distribution

The total paper is structured as follows:

• 75% (45 Marks) – Knowledge‑based questions
• 25% (15 Marks) – Analytical‑based questions

Students should focus on understanding fundamental concepts and also practice application‑based problems to perform well in both sections.
