Environmental Management - Paper Pattern

Achaa, just to make it easy, we have four sections.
Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, and Biosphere, which we are going to study in detail. And before we move onto the syllabus, lets check out the paper pattern..  Its the same for Oct/Nov 2014, and May/June 2015. We have two papers, paper 1, and paper 2.

Paper 1 (120 marks)

It has 2 sections. Section A, and section B.
In Section A, there are four questions, each taken from one section, that is, one from lithosphere, one from hydrosphere, and so on. Candidates have to attempt all four questions! They are compulsory. And they have a total of 40 marks.
(matlab selective study bhi nai ho sakti :p )

Then there is Section B. It has structured questions, which are again compulsory, all of them, they comprise of free-response and source questions, on global environmental issues. It carries 80 marks.
You have 2 hours and 15 minutes for this.
