Sample BSEB Inter Home Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the BSEB Inter Home Science exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Adolescence is generally described as the developmental period between:
A.Childhood and adulthood
B.Adulthood and old age only
C.Infancy and toddlerhood only
D.Middle age and retirement only
Explanation: Standard lifespan texts place adolescence between childhood and adulthood, covering puberty through emerging adult roles.
2Which physical change is characteristic of puberty in adolescence?
A.Complete loss of all primary teeth only
B.Development of secondary sexual characteristics
C.Sudden permanent inability to learn language
D.Immediate full skeletal maturity at age five
Explanation: Puberty brings secondary sexual characteristics (e.g., breast development, voice change, body hair) under hormonal control.
3According to Erikson’s psychosocial theory, the main crisis of adolescence is:
A.Trust versus mistrust only
B.Integrity versus despair only
C.Identity versus role confusion
D.Industry versus inferiority only
Explanation: Erikson assigns identity vs role confusion to adolescence—forming a coherent sense of self and future roles.
4Peer influence during adolescence is especially strong for:
A.Only motor reflexes in newborns
B.Only retirement financial planning
C.Only prenatal nutrition decisions of the foetus
D.Identity formation, social norms, and risk behaviours
Explanation: Peers shape belonging, norms, fashion, and sometimes risky choices—central Intermediate human-development content.
5Early adulthood (roughly 20s–30s) commonly involves which developmental task?
A.Establishing intimate relationships, career, and independent living
B.Learning to walk and talk as first milestones only
C.Complete cognitive decline as the only focus
D.Only primary school enrolment decisions for oneself as a toddler
Explanation: Havighurst-style adult tasks include intimacy, vocation, household independence, and civic roles.
6Middle adulthood is most associated with Erikson’s crisis of:
A.Autonomy versus shame and doubt only
B.Generativity versus stagnation
C.Initiative versus guilt only
D.Trust versus mistrust only
Explanation: Generativity vs stagnation—caring for next generations through family, work, and community—defines middle adulthood in Erikson’s model.
7A hallmark cognitive feature of adolescence (Piagetian formal operations) is the ability to:
A.Only use reflexes without any thought
B.Never plan or think about the future
C.Think abstractly and reason about hypothetical possibilities
D.Only copy actions without symbolic thought forever
Explanation: Formal operational thought allows abstract, scientific, and hypothetical-deductive reasoning typical of adolescence onward.
8Body image concerns and eating-disorder risk often rise in adolescence mainly because of:
A.Only improved bone density always reducing all concerns
B.Complete absence of any social comparison
C.Only mandatory retirement rules
D.Rapid physical changes, media ideals, and peer comparison
Explanation: Pubertal body changes plus social comparison and media ideals heighten body-image sensitivity in many adolescents.
9Late adulthood developmental emphasis commonly includes:
A.Maintaining health, adjusting to retirement, and life review
B.Only first tooth eruption as the main task
C.Only starting primary school
D.Only adolescent identity exploration as the sole task
Explanation: Later life tasks include health maintenance, retirement adjustment, relationship changes, and reviewing life meaning.
10Storm and stress theories of adolescence suggest this period may show:
A.Complete emotional flatness with zero conflict always
B.Heightened emotional intensity and conflict with parents for some youth
C.No interest in independence ever
D.Only prenatal reflex development
Explanation: Classic ‘storm and stress’ descriptions emphasise emotional volatility and parent–teen conflict for some adolescents (modern views note wide individual variation).

About the BSEB Inter Home Science Exam

Bihar Intermediate Home Science under BSEB covers Class 12 applied home science as an elective aligned to Board Intermediate curricula and official model papers (319-HOME SCIENCE). Core Intermediate topics include human development (adolescence and adulthood), early childhood care, nutrition and meal planning with Indian food groups, public-health nutrition (including anaemia and classic deficiency diseases), therapeutic diet basics, food safety and hygiene, fabric and apparel care, resource management, work simplification, consumer education, family communication, and interior design basics. Official assessment combines a mixed objective–subjective theory paper (about 3 hours 15 minutes, Full Marks 70 on the 2026-style model paper) with a practical/project component commonly reported near 30 marks in practical-subject patterns. This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs for concept and applied-reasoning practice; pair it with official model papers and practical/project work via biharboardonline.com.

Exam sponsor: Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

BSEB Intermediate Home Science is an elective subject under the Intermediate Public Examination (I.A. THEORY branding on 2026-style model paper 319-HOME SCIENCE). Official model-paper logistics: Time about 3 hours 15 minutes; Full Marks 70 (theory); Section A — 70 objective four-option questions, answer any 35 (1 mark each); Section B — short-answer items (e.g., 20 questions × 2 marks, answer any 10) and long-answer items (e.g., 6 × 5 marks, answer any 3); Total Questions 70 + 20 + 6 = 96. For practical-bearing Intermediate subjects, secondary reporting commonly describes about 70 theory + 30 practical/project out of 100 subject marks, with separate theory/practical minimums. Wording should stay careful: exact practical mark splits and internal policies are set by BSEB for each year. Instruction may be bilingual (Hindi/English). This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of Intermediate home science (human development, early childhood care, nutrition and meal planning, public-health nutrition, therapeutic diets, food safety, fabric and apparel care, resource management, work simplification, consumer education, family communication, and interior design basics). It does not replace laboratory/project practical examination or simulate the official mixed-format paper.

BSEB Inter Home Science: Suggested Study Strategy

1Map deficiency diseases to single nutrients (A→night blindness, C→scurvy, D→rickets, B1→beriberi, niacin→pellagra, iodine→goitre/IDD, iron→anaemia).
2Link meal-planning principles to real family constraints: budget, season, culture, time, and special physiological states (lactation, adolescence).
3Treat textiles as fibre + care: cotton/linen (cellulose), wool/silk (protein), polyester (synthetic), plus labels and stain-safe methods.
4Prepare practicals/projects separately: meal planning records, textile care demos, resource charts, and viva definitions; MCQs only reinforce theory recognition.
5After each MCQ set, write one short Intermediate-style answer so objective speed transfers to Section B (2-mark and 5-mark items).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is BSEB Intermediate Home Science officially examined?

Home Science is examined under the Bihar Intermediate Public Examination as an elective (I.A. THEORY).

Official papers may use Hindi/English; this bank is English MCQ adaptation.

What syllabus does this bank follow?

It follows Intermediate secondary/board Home Science style: human development (adolescence and adulthood), early childhood care, nutrition and meal planning, public-health nutrition (including anaemia and standard deficiency diseases), therapeutic diet basics, food safety, fabric and apparel care, resource management, work simplification, consumer education, family communication, and interior design basics — aligned to BSEB Intermediate Home Science model-paper themes (319).

What is the pass mark for BSEB Intermediate Home Science?

For practical-bearing subjects, theory and practical are commonly required separately (often cited near 21/70 theory and 12/30 practical). Overall subject wording is frequently near a 30–33% floor. Always verify the current BSEB Intermediate notification.
