Sample Karnataka II PUC Marathi (KSEAB) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Karnataka II PUC Marathi (KSEAB) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Marathi sandhi analysis, the correct sandhi-vigraha (संधि-विग्रह) of 'सज्जन' is:
A.सज् + जन
B.सत् + जन
C.सद + जन
D.सज + जन
Explanation: 'सज्जन' is formed by व्यंजन-संधि from सत् + जन. When final त्/द् meets initial ज्, the result becomes ज्ज्, giving सज्जन.
2Which sandhi type is illustrated by देव + आलय = देवालय?
A.व्यंजन-संधि
B.विसर्ग-संधि
C.स्वर-संधि (दीर्घ/गुण related)
D.Only विसर्ग-संधि with no vowel change
Explanation: When अ/आ at the end of the first word meets आ at the start of the second, the vowels combine into one long आ: देव + आलय = देवालय — a classic स्वर-संधि pattern taught in school Marathi grammar.
3The sandhi result of सूर्य + उदय is most correctly written as:
A.सूर्यउदय (with no vowel fusion)
B.सूर्योदय
C.सूर्या उदय as two unjoined words only
D.सूर्य्यउदय with doubled य् only
Explanation: सूर्य + उदय → सूर्योदय by गुण/related vowel sandhi (अ + उ → ओ), a standard school example.
4Identify the correct sandhi-vigraha of 'नमस्कार':
A.नमः + कार
B.नमस् + कार
C.नम + स्कार
D.न + मस्कार
Explanation: 'नमस्कार' is classically analysed as नमः + कार (visarga sandhi). The visarga form is retained in the vigraha even though the written compound shows स्.
5Which compound type (समास) is best illustrated by 'राजपुत्र' (son of a king)?
A.द्वंद्व समास
B.तत्पुरुष समास
C.केवल अव्ययीभाव
D.Only बहुव्रीहि with no relation to genitive sense
Explanation: राजपुत्र means 'son of a king' — the first member relates to the second in a case-relation sense (typically genitive). That is classic तत्पुरुष समास.
6The compound 'त्रिभुवन' (the three worlds) is best classified as:
A.द्विगु समास
B.केवल द्वंद्व of two kings
C.Only अव्ययीभाव meaning 'near the village'
D.Only तत्पुरुष of king + son
Explanation: When a numeral is the first member quantifying the second, the compound is द्विगु (e.g., त्रिभुवन = three worlds).
7In Marathi grammar, the term विभक्ती (vibhakti) primarily refers to:
A.Only the meaning of a proverb
B.Noun/pronoun case endings that show relation in a sentence
C.Only the rhyme scheme of a poem
D.Only the name of a sandhi rule
Explanation: विभक्ती are case forms (प्रथमा, द्वितीया, …) that mark grammatical relations of nouns and pronouns in a sentence.
8Which form correctly shows the Marathi genitive/possessive sense for 'of the boy' with मुलगा?
A.मुलगा (unchanged nominative only)
B.मुलाचा / मुलाचे / मुलाची (as gender of possessed requires)
C.मुलगाला only as the sole possessive
D.मुलगातून only as the sole possessive
Explanation: Marathi possession commonly uses -चा/-ची/-चे agreeing with the possessed noun’s gender/number: मुलाचा pen, मुलाची book, etc.
9In Marathi, the grammatical category लिंग (linga) classifies nouns primarily as:
A.Past, present, and future only
B.पुल्लिंग, स्त्रीलिंग, and नपुंसकलिंग (masculine, feminine, neuter)
C.Only singular and plural
D.Only sandhi and samas
Explanation: Marathi nouns are traditionally classified into three genders: masculine (पुल्लिंग), feminine (स्त्रीलिंग), and neuter (नपुंसकलिंग), which affect agreement of adjectives and verbs.
10Which statement about वचन (vachana) in Marathi is correct?
A.Marathi has only dual number and no singular
B.Marathi commonly distinguishes एकवचन (singular) and बहुवचन (plural)
C.Vachana means only 'proverb'
D.Vachana is only a type of alankar
Explanation: School Marathi grammar teaches number as singular (एकवचन) vs plural (बहुवचन); forms of nouns, pronouns, and verbs change accordingly.
