Sample Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational PDFM (RMPDFM) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational PDFM (RMPDFM) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What is the primary objective of tillage in field preparation?
A.To store harvested grain safely in bulk silos
B.To apply only foliar pesticides without disturbing the soil surface
C.To create a suitable soil condition for seed germination and plant growth by modifying soil structure
D.To harvest mature grain as quickly as possible
Explanation: Tillage is mechanical soil manipulation mainly to prepare a seedbed, improve aeration and water movement, control weeds, and create conditions favourable for germination and root growth.
2In standard classification used in farm-machinery courses, primary tillage implements are those that:
A.Only grade farm roads after harvest
B.Perform the initial major soil cutting and inversion or deep stirring, such as ploughs
C.Only broadcast fertiliser on the soil surface
D.Only measure soil moisture with sensors
Explanation: Primary tillage opens and loosens untilled soil, often cutting and turning furrows (for example mould-board or disc ploughs). Secondary tillage then further pulverises and levels the seedbed.
3Which component of a mould-board plough is the soil-cutting edge that penetrates and severs the furrow slice?
A.Landside
B.Share
C.Frog
D.Mould board
Explanation: The share is the cutting element at the bottom front of the plough bottom. The mould board turns the slice, the landside bears against the furrow wall, and the frog is the central casting that joins parts.
4On a mould-board plough, the landside primarily:
A.Mists pesticide onto the crop canopy
B.Bears against the furrow wall to stabilise the plough bottom and resist side thrust
C.Meters seed into the seed tube
D.Acts as the tractor’s PTO shaft guard
Explanation: After the share cuts the slice, side forces push the bottom sideways; the landside slides on the furrow wall and helps keep the plough running straight and at depth.
5Horizontal suction (or suction in the horizontal plane) of a mould-board plough bottom mainly helps the plough to:
A.Pull into the unploughed land and maintain proper width of cut
B.Generate electricity for the headlights
C.Cool the radiator without a fan
D.Increase engine RPM automatically
Explanation: Horizontal suction is the slight lead of the share point toward the unploughed land so the bottom tends to take full width of cut. Vertical suction helps the plough penetrate to working depth.
6Vertical suction of a mould-board plough is provided so that the plough tends to:
A.Float on the surface without penetrating
B.Steer the tractor without a steering wheel
C.Disengage the clutch automatically
D.Enter the soil and maintain the desired depth of cut
Explanation: Vertical suction is the downward lead of the share point relative to the heel of the landside, which encourages penetration and helps hold working depth.
7A coulter fitted ahead of a mould-board plough bottom is mainly intended to:
A.Inject liquid fertiliser into the seed row
B.Measure hitch draft electronically
C.Replace the need for a tractor differential
D.Cut trash and soil ahead of the share to reduce clogging and improve clean cutting
Explanation: Coulters (rolling or knife types) cut crop residue and help start the furrow slice so the share and mould board work cleaner, especially in trashy conditions. Jointers help bury trash in the furrow corner.
8Compared with a mould-board plough, a disc plough is generally preferred when:
A.Only lawn mowing is required
B.No soil disturbance of any kind is allowed
C.The field is a perfect fine seedbed already prepared by hand hoes only
D.Soil is hard, sticky, or trashy and a rolling disc can cut and turn with less blockage risk
Explanation: Disc ploughs use large concave discs that roll through hard, abrasive, sticky, or residue-rich soils where a mould-board bottom may scours poorly or clog. They still provide primary tillage inversion/stirring.
9On a disc plough, the disc angle primarily influences:
A.How aggressively the disc cuts into the land (width/penetration behaviour of the cut)
B.The octane rating of diesel fuel
C.The battery charging voltage only
D.The colour of the tractor paint
Explanation: Disc angle is the angle between the plane of the disc and the direction of travel; larger disc angle increases the cutting/side action into the unploughed land. Tilt angle is the inclination from vertical that affects penetration and soil throw.
10The tilt angle of a disc plough disc is best described as:
A.The inclination of the disc from the vertical plane, affecting penetration and soil-throw characteristics
B.The temperature of engine coolant at idle
C.The number of teeth on the gearbox main shaft
D.The angle of the PTO shaft relative to the axle
Explanation: Tilt angle tips the disc from vertical. Changing tilt alters how the disc bites downward and how soil is lifted/thrown, and is adjusted along with disc angle for depth and quality of work.

Odisha CHSE +2 Vocational PDFM (RMPDFM): Suggested Study Strategy

1Map every Paper I–IV unit from Part-1-1.pdf before drilling MCQs so adjustments and part names stay tied to official wording.
2Sketch mould-board plough, disc plough, clutch, and differential diagrams and label frog, landside, share, PTO, and final drive from memory.
3For sprayers and chemicals, always pair theory with PPE and safe handling sequences — safety questions are high-yield.
4Practise four-stroke event order and the roles of fuel, lube, and cooling systems before engine troubleshooting items.
5Treat clutch free play, tyre inflation/ballasting, and hydraulic hitch categories as adjustment-focused questions, then confirm on the workshop floor.
6Use official previous/model patterns for short and long written answers; this bank only trains objective recall.
7Never skip practical journals: depth/width of cut, disc/tilt angles, cutter-bar registration, and injector/tappet settings are assessed hands-on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official CHSE PDFM/RMPDFM exam only multiple choice?

No. Under the AHSE 2025 regular pattern, Vocational Trade theory is Full Marks 40 in about 2 hours and mixes MCQs with short and long answers, and each paper also has a substantial practical component (Full Marks 60 in the notified trade pattern). CHSE Part I organises PDFM as four papers (I–IV) across two years with theory and practical for each. This bank is an English MCQ study adaptation for theory knowledge — not a full paper simulation or a practical substitute.

What does PDFM / RMPDFM stand for under CHSE Odisha?

In the official Vocational Courses Part I catalog the trade is titled Repair and Maintenance of Power Driven Farm Machinery and abbreviated PDFM. Annual Higher Secondary Examination programmes commonly list the same trade as REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF POWER DRIVEN FARM MACHINERY (RMPDFM) with paper codes such as 549/550. Confirm the year’s programme PDF on chseodisha.nic.in.

What theory topics does the official PDFM syllabus cover?

Part I (Part-1-1.pdf) covers primary and secondary tillage implements, sowing and plant-protection equipment, harvesting/threshing/combines and special-purpose machines, IC engines and engine systems, tractor introduction and safety, power transmission, steering/brakes/tyres, hydraulic and electrical systems, and power tillers/rotavators — each paired with practical repair and adjustment work.
