SECTION IV
Matrix Match Type
This section contains 2 questions. Each question contains statements given in two columns
which have to be matched. Statements (A), (B), (C), (D) in Column I have to be matched
with statements (1, 2, 3, 4) in Column II. One statement in first column has one or more than
one match with the statements in second column. The answers to these questions have to be
appropriately bubbled as illustrated in the following example.
If the correct matches are A 1,3, B 3, C 2,3 and D 2,4, then the correctly bubbled
4 4 matrix should be as follows:

Subjective or Numerical Type
The answer to these questions would lie between
0 to 9999. For any answer all four bubbles must be
filled, for example if you plan to answer as 16 then fill
0016 and if you plan to answer 0 then fill 0000 in the
grid provided in answer sheet. Any incomplete filling
will be considered as incorrect filling.
Illustration: If you want to fill 2379 as your answer
then it will be filled as
