Multi-correct questions with partial marking

Judge each option on its own, and stop when your confidence drops.

In the JEE Advanced pattern, choosing any wrong option gives negative marks for the whole question, while choosing only correct options earns partial credit.

  1. Treat every option as a separate true/false question.
  2. Mark the options you are certain of. Each one already earns +1.
  3. Add an uncertain option only if you would bet on it at better than about 2:1 odds, since one wrong pick wipes out the partial credit.
  4. Options that are derived from the same quantity (like v_max and a_max from A and ω) succeed or fail together. Compute the shared quantity once.
