1In Hindi grammar, what does संधि (sandhi) primarily describe?

A.The division of a sentence into subject and predicate only

B.The joining of sounds/letters at word boundaries with possible change

C.The translation of a Hindi sentence into English

D.The counting of matras in a poetic line

Explanation: संधि (sandhi) is the joining of two sounds or letters at a word boundary, often with a phonetic change (e.g., सूर्य + उदय → सूर्योदय). It is a core Class 10 matter-of-language topic, not mere translation or metre counting.

2Identify the correct स्वर संधि (vowel sandhi) form of 'महा + ईश'.

A.महाईश

B.महीश

C.महेश

D.महाश

Explanation: In स्वर संधि, when आ + ई meet in this classic lexical pair, the standard form taught is महेश. The other spellings are incorrect joins.

3Which pair illustrates व्यंजन संधि (consonant sandhi) most clearly?

A.राम + अय = रामाय (vowel lengthening only)

B.सूर्य + उदय = सूर्योदय (vowel join only)

C.नमः + ते = नमस्ते (visarga-focused join)

D.सत् + जन = सज्जन (त् + ज → ज्ज)

Explanation: व्यंजन संधि involves changes where consonants meet. सत् + जन → सज्जन is a standard example of consonant assimilation. सूर्योदय is primarily स्वर संधि; नमस्ते is typically classed under विसर्ग संधि patterns.

4The form 'नमस्ते' from 'नमः + ते' is primarily an example of which sandhi class?

A.विसर्ग संधि (visarga sandhi)

B.केवल स्वर संधि

C.समास

D.कारक

Explanation: नमः + ते → नमस्ते is the standard textbook illustration of विसर्ग संधि, where the visarga (ः) changes in combination. It is not समास (compounding of meanings) or कारक (case relation).

5What is समास (samas) in Hindi grammar?

A.A compound word formed by combining two or more words with a compact meaning relation

B.A list of synonyms only

C.A type of punctuation mark

D.A rule for writing English loanwords in Devanagari

Explanation: समास is compounding: two or more words join into one compact form whose internal relation is classified (तत्पुरुष, द्वंद्व, बहुव्रीहि, अव्ययीभाव, कर्मधारय, etc.). It is not synonym listing or punctuation.

6In 'राजपुत्र' (son of a king), which समास type is typically taught?

A.तत्पुरुष समास (tatpurusha)

B.द्वंद्व समास

C.अव्ययीभाव समास

D.बहुव्रीहि समास

Explanation: राजपुत्र = राजा का पुत्र is a classic तत्पुरुष example where the first member is subordinate (often case-related) to the second. द्वंद्व is coordinate; बहुव्रीहि points to a third entity; अव्ययीभाव is indeclinable adverbial compounds.

7Which compound is the best example of द्वंद्व समास (dvandva)?

A.राजपुत्र (king's son)

B.यथाशक्ति (according to strength)

C.माता-पिता (mother and father)

D.चतुर्भुज (one with four arms)

Explanation: द्वंद्व समास joins two (or more) members of equal status with an 'and' relation. माता-पिता is a standard example. राजपुत्र is तत्पुरुष; यथाशक्ति is अव्ययीभाव; चतुर्भुज as epithet is often बहुव्रीहि territory.

8In Hindi, लिंग (ling) classification of nouns is primarily into which pair?

A.पुल्लिंग and स्त्रीलिंग (masculine and feminine)

B.Past and future only

C.Singular and plural only

D.Subject and object only

Explanation: Hindi nouns are classified by लिंग into पुल्लिंग (masculine) and स्त्रीलिंग (feminine), which affects agreement of adjectives, verbs, and possessives. Number (वचन) and case (कारक) are separate systems.

9Which noun is स्त्रीलिंग (feminine) in standard Hindi?

A.लड़का (ladka / boy)

B.घर (ghar / house)

C.पुस्तक (pustak / book)

D.पेड़ (ped / tree)

Explanation: पुस्तक is feminine (e.g., यह पुस्तक अच्छी है). लड़का, घर, and पेड़ are masculine in standard Hindi agreement patterns.

10Choose the form that correctly shows स्त्रीलिंग agreement: 'मेरी _____ बहुत तेज़ है।'

A.बहन (behen / sister)

B.भाई (bhai / brother)

C.पिता (pita / father)

D.दादा (dada / grandfather)

Explanation: The possessive मेरी is feminine, so the noun must be feminine. बहन is feminine and agrees. भाई, पिता, and दादा are masculine and would typically take मेरा.

About the AP SSC Hindi (First Language) Exam

AP SSC Hindi (First Language) is the Class 10 public examination Hindi paper conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP) for students who offer Hindi as First Language. It is a written, Hindi-medium language paper of about 3 hours 15 minutes for 100 marks, assessing poetry and prose from the SCERT Andhra Pradesh Class 10 Hindi textbook (units such as बरस्ते बादल, ईदगाह, हम भारतवासी, कण-कण का अधिकारी, लोकगीत, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर हिंदी, भक्ति पद, स्वराज्य की नींव, दक्षिणी गंगा गोदावरी, नीति दोहे, जल ही जीवन है, धरती के सवाल अंतरिक्ष के जवाब), Upvachak passages, creative literary response, and matter of language (व्याकरण). The official assessment is not a pure multiple-choice test. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of Hindi grammar, literature concepts, vocabulary, and reading/writing knowledge for 2026 revision — not a full simulation of handwritten Hindi writing tasks or an official translation of the board paper.

Exam sponsor: Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP) / Directorate of Government Examinations, Andhra Pradesh. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Typical public-exam organisation for Hindi First Language (confirm current model paper/blueprint on bse.ap.gov.in): Poem; Prose; Upvachak (supplementary reader); creative questions from poetry/prose; Matter of language (व्याकरण).

Blueprint summaries often describe a mix of essay-type, short, very short, and objective items. Duration about 3 hours 15 minutes. This 100-question bank trains recognition of grammar, vocabulary, literature concepts, reading strategies, and writing structure only — it does not replace timed handwritten Hindi practice of official model papers.

AP SSC Hindi (First Language): Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill व्याकरण (sandhi, samas, ling-vachan, muhavare) until recognition is automatic — matter of language often carries high weight (~32 marks in reported patterns).

2Re-read SCERT Class 10 Hindi prose/poetry for themes and key characters (especially ईदगाह / Hamid and the tongs, भक्ति पद devotion themes, नीति दोहे morals, गोदावरी geography-literature links).

3Practise Upvachak and unseen-style passages: identify main idea first, then answer detail and inference with evidence.

4Memorise Hindi writing formats (औपचारिक/अनौपचारिक पत्र layout, अनुच्छेद structure, निबंध outline) as checklists even when using English MCQs for structure knowledge.

5After MCQ revision, write full Hindi answers from official BSEAP model papers under exam timing — MCQs build recognition, not handwriting stamina in Hindi.
