CBSE 2018 Business Studies Question Paper for Class 12

About this paper

This is the CBSE Class 12 Business Studies question paper code 66/2 (Series SGN, Set 2) from the 2018 board examination, printed in both Hindi and English. It carries 80 marks over three hours and has 25 questions, from one-mark questions up to six-mark long answers. Many questions are case studies: a farmer-entrepreneur in Chhattisgarh whose story illustrates the features of planning, a hospital chain that rewards doctors with running trophies, a washing-machine buyer refused service after self-installation, and an aloe vera business setting its prices. A few cases also ask for values communicated to society. This copy has the questions only, without answers.
