Sample Kerala Plus Two Hindi (DHSE) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Kerala Plus Two Hindi (DHSE) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Hindi व्याकरण (vyakaran), what is संधि (sandhi)?
A.Joining of two adjacent sounds at a word boundary with a possible phonetic change
B.Only a figure of speech comparing two things
C.Only counting mātrās in a poetic line
D.Only the main idea of a prose paragraph
Explanation: Sandhi is the joining of two adjacent sounds (from two word-parts) so the boundary sound may change by a fixed rule (e.g., विद्या + आलय → विद्यालय). It is a core Plus Two Hindi grammar skill.
2In स्वर संधि, हिम + आलय typically becomes:
A.हिमआलय without sandhi
B.हिमालय
C.आलयहिम
D.हिमालय without long आ
Explanation: When final अ of हिम meets initial आ of आलय, स्वर संधि yields हिमालय. This is a standard schoolbook sandhi example.
3Which result correctly shows स्वर संधि for सूर्य + उदय?
A.सूर्यउदय with no change
B.उदयसूर्य
C.सूर्योदय
D.सूर्य्उदय
Explanation: अ/आ-class meeting उ often yields o-sound sandhi: सूर्य + उदय → सूर्योदय. Students should apply the vowel rule rather than paste both words unchanged.
4विसर्ग संधि is primarily concerned with changes involving:
A.Only long compounds of two nouns
B.Only verb tense endings
C.Only English punctuation commas
D.The visarga sound (ः) when it meets following sounds
Explanation: Visarga sandhi covers how the visarga (ः) behaves before vowels or consonants (e.g., patterns producing o, r, or other changes depending on context). It is one of the three major sandhi classes taught in school Hindi.
5In व्यंजन संधि, वाक् + ईश commonly becomes:
A.वागीश
B.वाक्ईश
C.ईशवाक्
D.वाक्-ईश with a hyphen only
Explanation: When क् meets a voiced sound environment in textbook patterns, क् can voice to ग्: वाक् + ईश → वागीश. This is a classic व्यंजन संधि illustration.
6Which pair best illustrates a sandhi result students must recall, not invent?
A.राम + अयन → रामअयन only
B.राम + अयन → रामायण
C.राम + अयन → अयनराम
D.राम + अयन → रमयन
Explanation: रामायण is the conventional sandhi result of राम + अयन taught in school Hindi. Correct answers use established forms rather than unjoined or reordered strings.
7What is समास (samas) in Hindi grammar?
A.Only the emotion (ras) of a poem
B.Only correcting spelling errors
C.Combining two or more words into a compact compound with a single meaning unit
D.Only counting lines in a stanza
Explanation: Samas is compounding: multiple words fuse into one complex word (e.g., राजपुत्र). Class 12 Hindi expects type identification (तत्पुरुष, कर्मधारय, द्विगु, द्वंद्व, बहुव्रीहि, अव्ययीभाव).
8In तत्पुरुष समास, the relationship is typically that:
A.Both parts are equally co-ordinate with 'and' sense only
B.Only numbers combine with nouns
C.There is never a meaningful relation between parts
D.The first member depends on the second (उत्तरपद is प्रधान)
Explanation: In tatpurusha, the latter member is principal and the former is subordinate (e.g., राजपुत्र = राजा का पुत्र). Other samas types have different hierarchy patterns.
9Which compound is the best example of द्विगु समास?
A.त्रिलोक / त्रिभुवन type number-based whole
B.गंगा-यमुना as pure co-ordinate rivers only
C.राजपुत्र as 'king’s son' dependence
D.यथाशक्ति as an indeclinable pattern
Explanation: Dvigu compounds are number-led totalities (त्रि + लोक → त्रिलोक). Tatpurusha (राजपुत्र), dvandva (गंगा-यमुना style co-ordination), and avyayibhava (यथाशक्ति) are different types.
10द्वंद्व समास is best described as:
A.A compound that only uses English hyphens
B.A compound where parts are co-ordinate (often with an 'and' sense)
C.A compound that never names two things
D.Only a metaphor figure of speech
Explanation: Dvandva compounds join co-ordinate members (माता-पिता, राम-लक्ष्मण). Students should not confuse them with tatpurusha dependency or pure alankar.

About the Kerala Plus Two Hindi (DHSE) Exam

Kerala Plus Two Hindi is the Class 12 Higher Secondary public examination Hindi language paper under the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Government of Kerala. It assesses SCERT Higher Secondary Hindi skills: sandhi and samās, gender and tense accuracy, vākya-śuddhi, ras and alankār, literary genres, major authors and movements, prescribed-reader themes, and letter/essay structure. Official assessment combines Terminal Evaluation (TE) with Continuous Evaluation (CE); the TE theory paper is mixed objective + subjective and is commonly about 2.5 hours for non-practical language subjects. Fees and exact schemes are notified on dhsekerala.gov.in and hseportal.kerala.gov.in; pass is commonly framed as D+/about 30% under TE+CE rules. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that retains Hindi terms and short examples where the language skill is tested, with English explanations; they are not a full simulation of the official mixed TE paper, CE requirements, or an official English sitting.

Exam sponsor: Directorate of Higher Secondary Education (DHSE), Directorate of General Education, Government of Kerala. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official Kerala DHSE Plus Two Hindi is assessed as Terminal Evaluation (TE) plus Continuous Evaluation (CE). The public TE paper is a mixed written language examination in Hindi (Devanagari) — objective-style items plus short and long answers — commonly lasting about 2.5 hours for non-practical language subjects. Syllabus work follows SCERT Higher Secondary Hindi readers organised in thematic units (for example motherland/patriotism; language progress; women’s dignity; social awakening) with poems, letters, speeches, travel notes, autobiographical prose, stories, haiku, memoirs, and satire, plus grammar (sandhi, samās, gender, tense, sentence purity), literary devices (ras, alankār), and composition (letter, essay). This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for concept and judgment fluency — it does not simulate official attempt limits, full Hindi handwriting tasks, CE project/assignment evidence, or full TE blueprint marks.
