How is CHSE Odisha Higher Secondary Elective Logic examined?

Elective Logic carries 200 marks (100 Year-1 college-level Paper I + 100 Year-2 Council AHSE Paper II). The Council Year-2 result contributes to the final pass certificate. Papers are typically about 3 hours and mix objective and analytical written items—not a pure MCQ board paper.

What does Year 1 Logic cover?

Paper I covers the nature of logic (definition, argument, proposition, truth and validity, soundness, principles), logic and language, classification of propositions and the Square of Opposition, nature and procedures of induction (scientific induction, simple enumeration, analogy), formal and material grounds of induction and hypothesis, plus Jainism (Syadvada, Anekantavada) and Buddhism (Four Noble Truths, Dependent Origination).

What does Year 2 Logic cover?

Paper II covers theory of inference (conversion, obversion), categorical syllogism (structure, figure, mood, rules), mixed syllogism and dilemma, fallacies, symbolic/propositional logic and truth tables, Mill's five experimental methods, scientific explanation, Nyaya theory of knowledge (perception, inference, vyapti), Niskama Karma of the Bhagavad Gita, and the Gandhian concept of non-violence.

Is this practice bank the same format as the official CHSE paper?

No. Official papers mix objective and constructed-response logical analysis. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for concept revision—not an official blueprint replica.

What is the pass mark?

CHSE Odisha AHSE practice commonly requires about 30% as the minimum pass floor in theory (for example, 24 out of 80 where theory is 80 with internal assessment). Confirm the current AHSE notification on chseodisha.nic.in.

What does the exam cost?

Examination charges are included in the CHSE Odisha AHSE fee structure notified for the session and collected through the affiliated college/H.S. school—no separate public per-elective marketplace fee.

Sample CHSE Odisha Elective Logic Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your CHSE Odisha Elective Logic exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In the CHSE +2 Logic syllabus, logic is best defined as the science of:

A.Correct reasoning and valid inference from premises to conclusions

B.Only memorising famous philosophers' biographies

C.Only measuring physical quantities with instruments

D.Only writing creative fiction without evidence

Explanation: Logic studies the principles of correct reasoning—how conclusions follow validly from premises—not biography, physics measurement, or fiction writing.

2In an argument, the statements offered as reasons for accepting a claim are called:

A.Conclusions only

B.Premises

C.Fallacies only

D.Hypotheses only

Explanation: Premises are the supporting statements from which a conclusion is drawn; structure of argument is a core Year-1 unit topic.

3Which distinction is fundamental in logic?

A.Only verb tense versus adjective colour

B.Only poem versus novel

C.Sentence (grammatical unit) versus proposition (truth-bearing claim)

D.Only integer versus fraction in arithmetic alone

Explanation: The syllabus distinguishes sentences (linguistic expressions) from propositions (declarative contents that are true or false).

4Truth applies primarily to which of the following?

A.Arguments as a whole in place of validity

B.Only the physical shape of printed letters

C.Only the length of a written paragraph

D.Propositions (or statements that assert something)

Explanation: Truth and falsity are properties of propositions; validity is a property of arguments. Confusing the two is a classic exam trap.

5An argument is valid when:

A.If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true (the form preserves truth)

B.The conclusion is popular with many people

C.The premises are written in long sentences

D.The speaker has a high social status

Explanation: Validity is formal: true premises guarantee a true conclusion. Popularity, length, and status are irrelevant to validity.

6A sound argument is one that is:

A.Invalid but persuasive in advertising

B.Valid and has all true premises

C.Valid with at least one false premise only

D.A mere collection of unrelated questions

Explanation: Soundness = validity + true premises. An unsound argument fails either validity or truth of premises (or both).

7Which of the following best illustrates an unsound but valid argument?

A.Any set of true premises with a true conclusion, regardless of form

B.A random list of adjectives with no inference

C.All fish are mammals. All mammals breathe air with lungs only. Therefore all fish breathe air with lungs only. (valid form, false premises)

D.A single true proposition with no premises and no conclusion relation

Explanation: The form can be valid (if premises true, conclusion must be) while premises are factually false—hence valid but unsound.

8The traditional principles of thought often associated with classical logic include the laws of:

A.Only supply and demand

B.Only gravity and inertia

C.Only rhyme and metre

D.Identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle

Explanation: Principles of logic in the syllabus framework include identity (A is A), non-contradiction (not both A and not-A), and excluded middle (A or not-A).

9In logic and language, denotation of a term primarily refers to:

A.The class of objects to which the term applies (extension)

B.Only the emotional tone of a poem

C.Only the ink colour used to print the word

D.Only the number of syllables in the word

Explanation: Denotation (extension) is the set of things a term applies to; connotation (intension) is the attributes the term implies.

10Connotation of a term is best described as:

A.Only the alphabetical order of letters

B.The attributes or qualities the term implies (intension)

C.Only the geographic origin of the speaker

D.Only the font size of the printed term

Explanation: Connotation (intension) comprises defining attributes; it contrasts with denotation/extension of objects covered.
