CSIR NET 2024 Mathematical Science Question Paper (25-Jul-2024); Download PDF
Download the CSIR NET 2024 Mathematical Sciences question paper held on 25th July 2024 in PDF format. The exam followed the standard pattern with three sections: Part A (General Aptitude), Part B (Subject Knowledge), and Part C (Advanced Mathematics). Candidates had to attempt a total of 60 questions out of 120, with varying marking schemes and negative marking in Parts A and B. This paper is a helpful tool for understanding the question trends, difficulty level, and preparation strategy for future attempts.

Q1.
The diagrams show the distribution of trees in two forest patches A and B. Each patch is divided into smaller "quadrats". The number of trees in each quadrat is shown. Which one of the following statements about the means (μ) and standard deviations (σ) of the numbers of trees in the two patches is true? Forest Patch A 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Forest Patch B 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6
Q2.
Q4.
The graph shows the growth curves for three independent populations (A, B, and C). The growth model for each of these populations is
N(t) = No e rt
where N(t) is the population at time t, No is the initial population and r is the per capita growth rate. 
If rA, rB, rC are the intrinsic growth rates of populations A, B, and C respectively, which of these statements is true?
