Im so worried if I pass in my sem1 exam or not? will they give me any marks for attempting a question in Financial Accounting or I get a zero? Do I get any marks for getting a wrong net profit in a question and when the balance sheet also does not match?
Hello,
Unfortunately, this totally depends on the number of questions you attempted and had done correctly. There is no marks for attempting a question. However, if you calculated an answer and you balance sheet did not match and your net profit also was wrong, you will still get step marks and also marks on the correct entries in the balance sheet.
Hope this helps,
Thank you

Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
Wetlands are amongst the most productive ecosystems on the Earth and provide many important services to human society. They exhibit enormous diversity according to their genesis, geographical location, water regime and chemistry, dominant species, and soil and sediment characteristics. Globally, the area extent of wetland ecosystems ranges from 917 million hectares (m ha) to more than 1275 m ha. One of the first widely used wetland classification systems, devised by Cowardin et al., 1979, categorised wetlands into marine (coastal wetlands), estuarine (including deltas, tidal marshes, and mangrove swamps), lacustrine (lakes), riverine (along rivers and streams), and palustrine ( marshes, swamps and bogs) based on their hydrological, ecological and geological characteristics.The
The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands was an international treaty signed in 1971. Overall, 1052 sites in Europe; 289 sites in Asia; 359 sites in Africa; 175 sites in South America; 211 sites in North America; and 79 sites in the Oceania region have been identified as Ramsar sites or wetlands of International importance. As per the Ramsar Convention definition most of the natural water bodies (such as rivers, lakes, coastal lagoons, mangroves, peat land, coral reefs) and man-made wetlands (such as ponds, farm ponds, irrigated fields, sacred groves, salt pans, reservoirs, gravel pits, sewage farms and canals) in India constitute the wetland ecosystem distributed in different geographical regions ranging from Himalayas to Deccan plateau. As of February 2022, India has 49 Ramsar sites covering an area of 10,93,636 hectares, the highest in South Asia. As per the estimates, India has about 757.06 thousand wetlands with a total wetland area of 15.3 m ha, accounting for nearly 4.7% of the total geographical area of the country. Out of this, areas under inland wetlands account for 69%, coastal wetlands 27%, and other wetlands (smaller than 2.25 ha) 4%. Gujarat has the highest proportion (17.5%) and Mizoram has the lowest proportion (0.66%) of the area under wetlands. Among Union Territories, Lakshadweep has the highest proportion (around 96%) and Chandigarh has the lowest proportion (3%) of the geographical area under wetlands.
Question:
Under which category of wetlands, are delta and mangrove swamps included?
Option 1: marine
Option 2: estuarine
Option 3: lacustrine
Option 4: palustrine
Correct Answer: estuarine
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation: Delta and mangrove swamps are included in the estuarine category of wetlands. The passage mentions that one of the wetland classification systems categorises wetlands into marine, estuarine, lacustrine, riverine, and palustrine based on their hydrological, ecological, and geological characteristics. Estuarine wetlands include deltas, tidal marshes, and mangrove swamps.
Therefore, the correct answer is estuarine.
