Sample CUET PG Practice Questions

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

1In the series 3, 6, 11, 18, 27, what is the next term?

A.38

B.36

C.37

D.40

Explanation: The differences are 3, 5, 7, 9 — successive odd numbers. The next difference is 11, so the next term is 27 + 11 = 38.

2If BOOK is coded as CPPL, how is WORD coded in the same scheme?

A.XPSE

B.VPSE

C.XQSE

D.XPTE

Explanation: Each letter is replaced by the next letter of the alphabet. W -> X, O -> P, R -> S, D -> E, giving XPSE.

3A shopkeeper marks goods 40% above cost and offers a 25% discount. What is the percentage profit?

A.5%

B.10%

C.15%

D.20%

Explanation: Let cost = 100. Marked price = 140. Selling price = 140 x 0.75 = 105. Profit = 105 - 100 = 5, so profit percentage = 5%.

4A train 180 m long crosses a pole in 12 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?

A.54

B.45

C.60

D.48

Explanation: Speed = distance / time = 180 / 12 = 15 m/s. Convert to km/h by multiplying by 18/5: 15 x 18/5 = 54 km/h.

5The average age of 5 students is 14 years. If a teacher aged 38 joins, what is the new average?

A.18

B.16

C.20

D.22

Explanation: Total age of students = 5 x 14 = 70. New total = 70 + 38 = 108. New average = 108 / 6 = 18 years.

6All poets are dreamers. Some dreamers are realists. Which conclusion follows?

A.Some poets may be realists

B.All poets are realists

C.No poet is a realist

D.All realists are poets

Explanation: From the premises, the overlap between dreamers and realists is partial. Poets are a subset of dreamers, so the only valid conclusion is the possibility that some poets are realists.

7Choose the word most similar in meaning to 'ubiquitous'.

A.Omnipresent

B.Unique

C.Unusual

D.Underrated

Explanation: Ubiquitous means present, appearing or found everywhere. Omnipresent is its closest synonym in standard English usage.

8Fill the blank: The committee ____ unable to reach a consensus on the new policy.

A.was

B.were

C.be

D.been

Explanation: In standard Indian and American English, collective nouns such as 'committee' take a singular verb when treated as a single unit, so 'was' is correct.

9If A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 4:5, what is A:C?

A.8:15

B.2:5

C.4:5

D.6:15

Explanation: Equalise the B terms. Multiply A:B by 4 to get 8:12, and B:C by 3 to get 12:15. Therefore A:C = 8:15.

10A pie chart shows that 25% of a household's INR 20,000 monthly budget goes to food. How much is spent on food?

A.INR 5000

B.INR 4000

C.INR 2500

D.INR 8000

Explanation: 25% of 20,000 = 0.25 x 20,000 = 5,000. Reading the pie chart, the food slice corresponds to a quarter of the total budget.
