Sample Punjab PSEB Matric Hindi Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Punjab PSEB Matric Hindi exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Hindi grammar (व्याकरण), what does संधि (sandhi) primarily describe?
A.Dividing a sentence into subject and predicate only
B.Joining of sounds/letters at word boundaries with possible change
C.Translating a Hindi sentence into English
D.Counting matras in a poetic line
Explanation: Sandhi is the joining of two sounds or letters at a word boundary, often with phonetic change (e.g. सूर्य + उदय → सूर्योदय). PSEB Class 10 Hindi explicitly lists sandhi (especially स्वर संधि) under objective grammar.
2PSEB Class 10 Hindi syllabus specifically highlights which type of sandhi for board practice?
A.विसर्ग संधि (visarga sandhi)
B.स्वर संधि (vowel sandhi)
C.व्यंजन संधि (consonant sandhi)
D.समास (compounding, not sandhi)
Explanation: The official 2025-26 PSEB Class 10 Hindi syllabus lists संधि (स्वर संधि) under भाग-क objective grammar items.
3Which result correctly shows दीर्घ संधि (a common स्वर संधि type)?
A.राम + अयन → रामायण (a/aa + a/aa → aa)
B.विद्या + आलय formed only by inserting a hyphen with no sound change
C.गुरु + उपदेश with no vowel change possible under any rule
D.सूर्य + उदय remaining as two permanently separate words only
Explanation: Dirgha sandhi lengthens matching/similar vowels: अ/आ + अ/आ → आ, as in राम + अयन → रामायण. It is a core Class 10 स्वर संधि pattern.
4Which option correctly illustrates a समास (samas) compound?
A.राम जाता है
B.राजपुत्र (king's son formed as one word)
C.वह धीरे बोलता है
D.क्या तुम आओगे?
Explanation: Samas combines two or more words into one compound (राज + पुत्र → राजपुत्र). Full sentences are not samas compounds. PSEB Class 10 lists समास (तत्पुरुष व कर्मधारय).
5In तत्पुरुष समास (tatpurusha), the relationship between members is typically:
A.Both members have equal status like a pure dual listing with no dependency
B.The first member depends on the second (often case/relation sense; second is primary)
C.Only colours may form tatpurusha
D.Only foreign loanwords may form tatpurusha
Explanation: In tatpurusha, the first member is subordinate (case/relation sense) and the second is primary—e.g. राजपुत्र 'king's son'. PSEB Class 10 names तत्पुरुष explicitly.
6कर्मधारय समास (karmadharaya) is best described as a compound where:
A.The first member is only a verb root always
B.One member qualifies the other as adjective/apposition (visheshan-visheshya type), e.g. नीलकमल
C.Only numbers form the compound
D.No meaning relationship exists between members
Explanation: Karmadharaya joins a qualifier and the qualified (e.g. नील + कमल → नीलकमल 'blue lotus'). PSEB Class 10 lists कर्मधारय with तत्पुरुष.
7Which pair is the best कर्मधारय example?
A.माता-पिता (coordinated dual pair)
B.महापुरुष (great + person as one compound sense)
C.गंगाजल with no qualifier reading
D.राम जाता है
Explanation: महा + पुरुष → महापुरुष is classic karmadharaya (qualifier + noun). माता-पिता is द्वंद्व-type coordination; गंगाजल is typically tatpurusha ('water of the Ganga').
8भाववाचक संज्ञा निर्माण (forming abstract nouns) means:
A.Creating abstract nouns that name a quality, state, or action (e.g. सुंदर → सुंदरता)
B.Listing concrete objects (जातिवाचक संज्ञा like मेज़, किताब)
C.Forming verbs from roots (क्रिया निर्माण)
D.Joining words into compounds (समास)
Explanation: Bhavavachak sangya names a quality, state, or action (सुंदरता, मिठास, बचपन). PSEB Class 10 lists भाववाचक संज्ञा निर्माण under objective grammar.
9Which correctly forms a भाववाचक संज्ञा from the given base?
A.बच्चा → बचपन
B.बच्चा → बच्चाना only as the abstract noun
C.बच्चा → बच्चों without meaning change
D.बच्चा → बच्चा ही always
Explanation: बचपन is the standard abstract noun for childhood from बच्चा/बाल. Other options are not standard abstract-noun formation for this base.
10विशेषण निर्माण (adjective formation) in Class 10 Hindi typically means:
A.Deriving adjectives from nouns/roots so they can modify another noun (e.g. इतिहास → ऐतिहासिक)
B.Forming abstract nouns (भाववाचक संज्ञा निर्माण)
C.Writing finite verbs (क्रिया)
D.Joining words into compounds (समास)
Explanation: Visheshan nirman builds adjectives (ऐतिहासिक, राष्ट्रीय, वैज्ञानिक) from bases. PSEB lists विशेषण निर्माण under other objective items.
