General Science and Ability Past Paper 2016

The General Science and Ability past paper 2016 breaks the pattern that later years follow. Part-II runs from Q.2 to Q.13, and candidates attempt eight questions: five from Section-I and three from Section-II. Section-I asks about the Clean Development Mechanism and criticism of the Kyoto Protocol, DNA vaccines, dengue, and the liver as the body’s chief chemist. It also sets the earthquake that struck Pakistan on 26 October 2015 and asks for its intensity and locus. Section-II stays short: triangles, mean, median, mode and range for the ages of nine students, a blood group probability sum, and mental ability scales against IQ tests.
