Sample Maharashtra SSC Automotive Service Technician Pre-Voc/NSQF Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Maharashtra SSC Automotive Service Technician Pre-Voc/NSQF exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The main purpose of personal protective equipment (PPE) in an automotive workshop is to:
A.Replace safe work procedures completely
B.Reduce the risk of injury from hazards that cannot be fully eliminated
C.Make the workshop look more professional only
D.Allow technicians to skip tool inspections
Explanation: PPE is the last line of defence after engineering and administrative controls. It reduces injury risk from remaining hazards such as flying debris, chemicals, noise, and sharp edges, but it does not replace safe procedures or proper equipment.
2Safety shoes with steel or composite toe caps are worn mainly to protect against:
A.Electric shock from high-voltage EV batteries only
B.Impact from falling tools or heavy parts on the feet
C.Engine overheating
D.Low tyre pressure
Explanation: Safety footwear protects toes and the top of the foot from crushing and impact injuries common when tools, wheels, or components are dropped.
3Before working under a vehicle raised on a jack, the safest practice is to:
A.Leave the vehicle supported only by the hydraulic jack
B.Support the vehicle on rated jack stands at approved lift points, then remove the jack if not needed for positioning
C.Place wooden blocks under the bumper only
D.Crawl under immediately while a helper holds the jack handle
Explanation: Hydraulic jacks can fail or slowly lower. Jack stands rated for the load and placed at manufacturer-approved points provide stable mechanical support before anyone works underneath.
4Eye protection such as safety goggles or a face shield is especially important when:
A.Writing a job card at a desk
B.Grinding, cutting, or using compressed air that can throw particles
C.Reading a service manual
D.Washing hands with soap
Explanation: Grinding, cutting metal, and blowing debris create flying particles and dust that can injure the eyes. Impact-rated eye or face protection is required for these tasks.
5Used engine oil should be handled by:
A.Pouring it down a workshop floor drain
B.Collecting it in a labelled container for authorised recycling or disposal
C.Burning it openly in the yard
D.Mixing it with drinking water for storage
Explanation: Used oil is a hazardous waste that can pollute soil and water. Workshops collect it in proper containers and send it to authorised recyclers or disposal facilities.
6A Class B fire typically involves:
A.Ordinary paper and wood only
B.Flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, or oil
C.Energised electrical equipment only
D.Cooking oils in a commercial kitchen only
Explanation: Class B fires involve flammable liquids and greases commonly found in automotive workshops. Correct extinguisher selection depends on matching the fire class.
7When using a multi-purpose dry chemical extinguisher on a petrol spill fire near a vehicle, the correct technique is to:
A.Aim only at the flames high above the spill
B.Aim at the base of the fire and sweep across the burning surface
C.Throw the extinguisher into the flames and run
D.Spray water from a hose first to cool the fuel
Explanation: Extinguishers work best when agent is directed at the base of the fire where fuel is burning, with a sweeping motion to cover the surface. Water on petrol can spread the liquid fire.
8Spill of battery acid on skin should first be treated by:
A.Neutralising with undiluted strong alkali on the skin
B.Flushing immediately with plenty of clean water and seeking first aid
C.Wiping with dry cotton waste only
D.Ignoring it if the burn feels mild
Explanation: Immediate dilution and rinsing with large amounts of clean water reduces chemical burn severity. Strong alkali on skin can cause a second burn. Medical follow-up is needed for significant exposure.
9Why should oily rags be stored in a closed metal container, not in an open pile?
A.To keep them soft for reuse
B.To reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion and fire
C.To make the workshop smell stronger
D.Because open piles dry the rags faster for sale
Explanation: Oil-soaked rags can heat through oxidation and ignite spontaneously. Sealed metal waste cans limit oxygen and contain any smouldering.
10A technician must work near a running engine for a short test. The most important safety control is to:
A.Wear loose clothing and jewellery for comfort
B.Keep hands, tools, and clothing clear of belts, fans, and rotating parts
C.Disable all guards so access is easier
D.Stand directly over the cooling fan at all times
Explanation: Rotating belts, pulleys, and cooling fans can catch clothing or hands instantly. Guards should stay in place, loose items removed, and body parts kept clear during running tests.
