A.A prefix attached before a root word that modifies meaning
B.A complete independent sentence
C.A rhyme pair at the end of a dohā
D.A punctuation mark only

A.कर्म + सु → कर्मसु (as a Hindi upsarg example)

B.व्यंजन संधि (consonant sandhi)
C.स्वर संधि (vowel sandhi)

Explanation: Dvandva samās coordinates two (or more) members of equal status: माता-पिता means ‘mother and father’.

About the KSEAB SSLC TL Hindi Exam

Karnataka KSEAB SSLC Third Language Hindi is the Class 10 public examination third-language paper for students who offer Hindi under the state path (paper code 61H) of the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board. It is distinct from Third Language Hindi NCERT (60H) and from First Language Hindi. Official assessment is conducted in Hindi (Devanagari) as a mixed written language paper (commonly about 80 theory + about 20 internal; duration often about 3 hours 15 minutes — confirm date sheet), covering grammar, vocabulary, reading, literature concepts, and composition at third-language depth. The official paper is not a pure multiple-choice test. This free bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision of Hindi grammar concepts, vocabulary, comprehension strategies, composition-structure recognition, and related Class 10 third-language literary knowledge. It is a study adaptation only — not an official translation, writing substitute, or inventory guaranteeing every annual chapter cut.

KSEAB SSLC TL Hindi: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill sandhi and samās daily — high-frequency objective marks on language papers.
2Keep a personal paryāyvācī / vilom / muhāvarā notebook with one example sentence each.
3For reading, practise short extracts: main idea → detail → inference with line evidence.
4Memorise formal letter and paragraph/essay skeletons, then write full Hindi answers under official-pattern timing for code 61H.
5Confirm you are preparing the 61H state path, not 60H NCERT or First Language Hindi — textbooks and model papers differ.
6Use this English MCQ bank for speed recognition only; productive Hindi writing still decides board long-answer marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official KSEAB SSLC Third Language Hindi exam multiple choice?

No. The KSEAB SSLC Third Language Hindi paper (code 61H) is a mixed written language examination (objective + short/long answers) in Hindi. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of third-language Hindi knowledge — not a full writing simulation or official translation of the board paper.

What is paper code 61H, and how is it different from 60H?

KSEAB SSLC model-paper indexes list Third Language Hindi (state path) as HINDI-61H. Hindi (NCERT) third language is listed separately as HINDI (NCERT)-60H. First Language Hindi is a different paper again. Confirm your school’s language combination and use the matching syllabus and model papers for the year.

How long is the paper and what is the total marks?

Third Language theory is commonly about 80 marks with about 20 internal assessment toward a 100-mark subject total, and duration is often reported near 3 hours 15 minutes. Always verify the current KSEAB date sheet and model-paper instructions for code 61H.

What is the pass mark?

Pass is commonly treated as about 33% of total marks as notified for SSLC subjects. Always verify the current KSEAB notification for pass and any grace-mark rules.

What topics should I revise for Third Language Hindi (61H)?

Revise Hindi vyākaraṇa (sandhi, samās, ling, vachan, karak, upsarg-pratyay, vāchya, sentence correction), vocabulary (paryāyvācī, vilom, muhāvare), reading strategies, literature concepts from your school year’s TL Hindi reader, and composition formats (letter, paragraph/essay). Pair with official KSEAB 61H model papers.

Why are these practice questions in English if the official paper is in Hindi?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice bank per exam URL for students who research and study in English. Authentic Hindi words, short phrases, literary terms, or grammar examples appear when the skill requires them, with English explanations. This is a study adaptation, not an official English sitting of the KSEAB paper and not a substitute for timed Hindi writing practice.

Where can I get official syllabus and model papers?

KSEAB publishes SSLC model question papers and related materials at https://kseab.karnataka.gov.in and https://kseeb.karnataka.gov.in (including SSLC model QP indexes listing THIRD LANGUAGE, HINDI-61H). Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.
