Sample Bihar BSEB Matric Science Practice Questions

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

1Which of the following is an example of a combination reaction?
A.CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
B.2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
C.Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
D.2AgCl → 2Ag + Cl2
Explanation: In a combination reaction two or more reactants form a single product. Hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water.
2A chemical equation is balanced so that it obeys which fundamental law?
A.Law of constant proportions only
B.Law of conservation of mass
C.Charles's law
D.Boyle's law
Explanation: Balancing ensures the same number of each type of atom on both sides, reflecting the law of conservation of mass.
3Which reaction is a double displacement (precipitation) reaction?
A.2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
B.Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl
C.2H2O → 2H2 + O2
D.CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
Explanation: Sodium sulfate and barium chloride exchange ions; insoluble BaSO4 precipitates — a classic double displacement.
4Rusting of iron is best classified as:
A.Displacement only
B.Decomposition only
C.Oxidation (corrosion involving oxygen and moisture)
D.Neutralization
Explanation: Rusting is corrosion of iron in the presence of oxygen and moisture; iron is oxidized to hydrated iron(III) oxide.
5In Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu, zinc acts as a:
A.Reducing agent
B.Oxidizing agent
C.Catalyst
D.Precipitating agent
Explanation: Zinc loses electrons (is oxidized) and reduces Cu2+ to Cu, so zinc is the reducing agent.
6Heating lead(II) nitrate typically produces brown gas. That gas is mainly:
A.CO2
B.NO2
C.SO2
D.NH3
Explanation: Thermal decomposition of lead(II) nitrate yields PbO, nitrogen dioxide (brown NO2), and oxygen.
7The reaction 2AgBr → 2Ag + Br2 in sunlight is an example of:
A.Electrolytic decomposition
B.Photochemical decomposition
C.Thermal combination
D.Neutralization
Explanation: Silver bromide decomposes under light (used in traditional photography), so it is photochemical decomposition.
8Which ion is primarily responsible for the acidic nature of aqueous HCl?
A.Cl−
B.H+ (or H3O+)
C.OH−
D.Na+
Explanation: Acids produce H+ (hydronium) ions in water; these ions give the acidic properties of HCl(aq).
9A solution of pH 2 compared with a solution of pH 5 has [H+] that is:
A.Lower by a factor of 3
B.Higher by a factor of 1000
C.Exactly three times higher
D.The same
Explanation: pH is logarithmic: each unit is a tenfold change in [H+]. From pH 5 to pH 2 is 3 units, so [H+] is 10^3 = 1000 times greater.
10Which indicator is red in acid and blue in base?
A.Phenolphthalein
B.Methyl orange only
C.Litmus
D.Universal indicator only
Explanation: Litmus is red in acid and blue in base — the classic qualitative acid–base indicator at Class 10.

About the Bihar BSEB Matric Science Exam

Bihar BSEB Matric Science for Class 10 covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology aligned to the Board’s Matric syllabus and NCERT-style Class 10 Science. Core topics include chemical reactions and equations; acids, bases and salts; metals and non-metals; carbon compounds; periodic classification; life processes; control and coordination; how organisms reproduce; heredity and evolution; light reflection and refraction; the human eye; electricity; magnetic effects of current; sources of energy; our environment; and management of natural resources. Official assessment commonly combines a mixed objective/descriptive theory paper with practical and internal work (often described as about Theory 60 + Practical 20 + Internal 20 out of 100). This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision and numerical practice; pair it with official model papers (e.g., 112-SCIENCE) and laboratory work via biharboardonline.com. Languages of the official exam are typically Hindi and English; this bank is an English MCQ study adaptation only.

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 Matric Science is assessed as a Class 10 board subject spanning Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Secondary sources and board logistics commonly describe a theory + practical + internal structure totaling 100 subject marks (often about Theory 60 + Practical 20 + Internal 20, or other theory/practical splits as notified for the year), with a written paper of about 3 hours 15 minutes mixing objective and descriptive questions — not a pure multiple-choice paper. Papers are typically available in Hindi and English media. Exact section splits, internal weightage, and blueprints are set by BSEB for each academic year; always confirm the current model paper and circulars on biharboardonline.com. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and numerical fluency — it does not simulate the official constructed-response Matric paper or practical exam.

Time Limit

About 3 hours 15 minutes (theory/written public examination; confirm year’s timetable)

Passing Score

About 30% minimum subject pass is commonly cited for BSEB Matric; theory, practical, and internal components may have notified separate minima where practicals apply. Always verify the current BSEB circular.

Exam / Certification Fees

As notified by BSEB and paid through schools for regular Matric sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).

Exam sponsor website

Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

Bihar BSEB Matric Science: Suggested Study Strategy

1Balance revision time roughly equally across Physics, Chemistry, and Biology — BSEB Matric Science spans all three portions.
2Memorize core equations (reaction types, Ohm’s law, lens formula, mirror formula) and practise unit consistency before every numerical.
3Draw ray diagrams, circuit diagrams, and labelled life-process pathways even for MCQs — the same diagrams win descriptive Matric marks.
4Treat practical skills as theory too: indicators, reactivity series demos, Ohm’s law apparatus, and plant/animal specimens appear as conceptual items.
5After each MCQ set, rewrite one related short or long Matric-style answer so you transfer MCQ speed into the official mixed written format.
6Use current BSEB model papers from biharboardonline.com to allocate revision time by chapter weightage for your year.
