Such a question is usually asked in Section I of each subject for both the papers. Statement-based Questions are those questions where students have to select one or more answers from the statements provided. Such questions are asked in Section II of the JEE Advanced Paper. Numerical Answer Type Questions are those questions where students need to write a non-integer value against each question. There are no options provided. These questions are asked in Section III of the papers. Lastly, in Section IV Match the Following Questions are asked. These questions include two lists where candidates have to match the points given in one list with the second list. The combinations are provided from where candidates have to choose the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
