Student should go in assumption basis rather than blaming the institute

I have confirmed it with Parag Gupta sir. As per him :

"I agree with you that it should have been 36 inspite of 16, but such mistakes are not new to CA Exams. In last attempt i.e. Nov 08, Direct Material was written twice in question paper [i.e. Direct Labour was also written as Direct Material]in Linear programming question. Similar kind of mistake was also in MAFA paper in Nov 08 itself, wherein Forex rate inversely written.

Generally (almost always), Institute provides benefit of doubt to students in such cases, provided you have either done that question with wrong figure itself or you have written an assumption correcting the question. "
