B.Sc.(IT) Entrance Test - Sample Paper - Mathematics Questions

Aug 25, 2026

B.Sc. (IT) entrance test sample covering Mathematics through 25 multiple-choice questions. The paper tests probability on tickets, dice and coin scenarios, and applies logic to common seat-allocation and overlap problems. It also includes pipes and work-time problems, age-ratio questions, and mixture problems involving sugar, wine-water, honey-water, and acid blending for profit-loss outcomes. Questions are presented with four answer options and require selecting the correct ratio, minimum count, or time.

FAQs

What types of questions are included in Section-A?

Section-A focuses on Mathematics with probability, time-and-work (pipes), age ratios, and mixture/profit-loss problems presented as MCQs.

How are the probability questions framed?

They commonly describe random selections such as drawing from mixed tickets, rolling dice, or tossing coins, and ask for the probability of meeting a condition.

What does the instructions section for questions 9–11 involve?

It describes three instrument classes (Tabla, Violin, Guitar) and seat overlap rules, then asks for counts in categories such as only one seat, or specific class combinations.
