5Preface
It gives me an immense pleasure and satisfaction in presenting solved questions for undergraduate students. The main idea of writing this book is to help the student's community prepare for their examination in a short period of time.
Though students have knowledge about the subject they are unable to put it on the paper in a proper way, this book will guide the students to prepare and write in a meaningful way.
I am aware that during the preparation of this book there might be a few errors; if such errors are brought to my notice, suggestions for improvement will be gratefully accepted.
G Vijayalakshmi Venkatesh6
