QUERY POSTED STARTS HERE

Sir With all due regards to Our Institute, I was a bit confused with the Marks distribution in the Costing & FM paper of PCC May 2011. Sir Sylbs states 50 marks Costing & 50 Marks FM but the paper contained 72 marks FM & Appx 42 Marks Costing summed up to all 7 Quest.Excluding the Compulsary Quest Taking all different combinations of leaving 1 question to Option with least marks of Costing the marks distribution was at app 36 marks Costing & 64 marks FM. Many Students with me as one of them are confused that is there any strict distribution of Marks in Papers to both this subjects also at 50:50 as mentioned in the sylbs or marks distribution in paper can be anything immaterial of the Subject just Total of 100 marks put to gather for Costing & FM. & if such what does it mean as 50:50 mentioned in the sylbs
Sir It would be very very kind of you if I can get a reply on this so as to even have this concept cleared with other students coming up for Future exams.
Sir We all know that ICAI Exam dept must be aware with this fact & must have done this very much within frame of Law permiting it & so
Sir this query is asked not to Offend or teach or make any one aware of this thing as a mistake of ICAI but this was just to clear the wrong conceptions in our Minds if any regarding the distribution of marks mentioned in the Sylbs
