Sample Maharashtra SSC FL Marathi Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Maharashtra SSC FL Marathi 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 a 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 vowel fusion)
D.Only यण-संधि as the sole correct school label
Explanation: When अ/आ at the end of the first word meets आ at the start of the second, the vowels fuse into one long आ: देव + आलय = देवालय — a classic स्वर-संधि pattern in school Marathi grammar.
3The compound यथाशक्ती (as per one's strength) is classified as which समास?
A.द्वंद्व समास
B.अव्ययीभाव समास
C.तत्पुरुष समास
D.बहुव्रीही समास
Explanation: यथाशक्ती analyses as 'शक्तीप्रमाणे'. The first member यथा dominates and the whole form functions as an indeclinable adverbial unit — classic अव्ययीभाव समास.
4The word राजपुत्र (son of a king) is an example of:
A.द्वंद्व समास
B.अव्ययीभाव समास
C.तत्पुरुष समास
D.द्विगु समास
Explanation: राजपुत्र vigraha is 'राजाचा पुत्र'. The second member पुत्र is primary and a genitive relation is compressed — standard तत्पुरुष समास.
5In 'मुलांनी खेळले', the ending 'नी' on मुलांनी marks which विभक्ति?
A.द्वितीया
B.तृतीया
C.चतुर्थी
D.पंचमी
Explanation: Marathi third case (तृतीया) plural markers include नी (and related forms). मुलांनी is agentive/instrumental plural of मुलगा/मुले.
6Which word is a भाववाचक नाम (abstract noun)?
A.पुस्तक
B.शौर्य
C.गंगा
D.वर्ग
Explanation: भाववाचक नाम names a quality, state, or feeling. शौर्य (bravery) is abstract. The others are common, proper, or collective nouns.
7Identify the प्रयोग in: 'शिक्षकाने विद्यार्थ्याला शिकवावे.'
A.कर्तरी प्रयोग
B.कर्मणी प्रयोग
C.भावे प्रयोग
D.Bare-agent only with no case markers
Explanation: In भावे प्रयोग, both agent and object carry markers (ने / ला) and the verb stays third-person neuter singular independent of their gender/number — matching शिकवावे with शिक्षकाने … विद्यार्थ्याला.
8The feminine form of उंट (male camel) in standard school Marathi vocabulary is:
A.उंटिणी
B.सांडणी
C.उंटणी
D.मादी उंट as the only accepted dictionary headword
Explanation: Standard school Marathi lists सांडणी as the feminine counterpart of उंट — an irregular gender pair learners must memorise.
9Which of the following is a तद्भव word rather than तत्सम?
A.दुग्ध
B.हात
C.पुष्प
D.जल
Explanation: तद्भव words are Sanskrit-derived but phonologically adapted in Marathi. हात comes from हस्त. दुग्ध, पुष्प, and जल keep classical forms and are तत्सम.
10In 'ताजी फळे', the word ताजी is which type of विशेषण?
A.गुणविशेषण
B.संख्याविशेषण
C.सार्वनामिक विशेषण
D.केवल क्रियाविशेषण
Explanation: गुणविशेषण describes a quality of the noun. ताजी attributes freshness to फळे.

About the Maharashtra SSC FL Marathi Exam

Maharashtra MSBSHSE SSC First Language Marathi is the Class 10 public examination language paper for students who offer Marathi as First Language under the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education. Official assessment is conducted in Marathi (Devanagari script) as a mixed written language paper under subject code 01 (commonly about 100 marks; duration often about 3 hours — confirm date sheet), covering prose, poetry, grammar, vocabulary, figures of speech, proverbs/idioms, and composition aligned to the Class 10 First Language Marathi syllabus (Balbharati pathway). Mixed written/oral components can feature in language designs depending on the year. The official paper is not a pure multiple-choice test. This free bank provides English four-option MCQs for revision of Marathi grammar concepts, literature devices and authors, comprehension strategies, vocabulary, composition-structure recognition, and related Class 10 literary knowledge. It is a study adaptation only — not an official translation, writing substitute, or inventory guaranteeing every annual chapter cut.

Mixed written/oral elements may apply under some year schemes. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation of Marathi language knowledge — not a full writing simulation or official translation of the board paper.

What is subject code 01?

MSBSHSE SSC subject lists (mahahsscboard.org/sscsub.htm) list First Language Marathi as code 01 among first-language options. Use the current year’s date sheet, syllabus, and model/activity papers on mahahsscboard.org / mahahsscboard.in for exact timing and year-specific instructions.

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

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

Where can I get official syllabus and model papers?

MSBSHSE publishes SSC subject lists, circulars, and related materials at http://mahahsscboard.org/ (including sscsub.htm for subject codes such as First Language Marathi — 01) and https://mahahsscboard.in/. Use those for timed handwritten practice after MCQ concept work.
