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

1Which instrument is primarily used to draw long horizontal lines parallel to the drawing board edge when guided along a T-square head?
A.Set square alone
B.T-square blade guided against the board edge
C.French curve only
D.Protractor alone
Explanation: A T-square has a head that rides on the board edge and a blade used to draw horizontal lines and to guide set squares for vertical and inclined lines.
2A 30°–60°–90° set square is most useful for drawing which pair of standard angles with a T-square?
A.Only 45° and 90°
B.30°, 60°, and combinations that yield 15° steps with a 45° set square
C.Only 120° and 150°
D.Only freehand sketch angles
Explanation: The 30°–60° set square produces 30° and 60° lines against a horizontal T-square; used with a 45° set square it supports common 15° increments used in technical drawing.
3What is the main use of a compass in geometrical drawing?
A.Measuring angles in degrees
B.Drawing circles and arcs of a chosen radius
C.Shading large watercolour washes
D.Cutting paper stencils only
Explanation: A drawing compass holds a pencil (or ink pen) at a fixed radius from a centre point to draw circles and arcs accurately.
4A divider is primarily used to:
A.Mix poster colours on a palette
B.Transfer or compare distances without marking a radius as a circle
C.Draw long freehand curves
D.Measure temperature of drying paint
Explanation: Dividers open to a distance and are used to transfer measurements, step off equal lengths, or compare sizes without necessarily drawing a full circle.
5Which instrument is designed for measuring and marking angles in degrees on a drawing sheet?
A.Scale rule only
B.Protractor
C.Mini-drafter scale only
D.Eraser shield
Explanation: A protractor is graduated in degrees and is used to measure existing angles or to mark a required angle from a baseline.
6French curves are used mainly to:
A.Draw irregular or non-circular curves smoothly
B.Replace all compass work for perfect circles
C.Mix oil and watercolour safely
D.Cut clay modelling tools
Explanation: French curves are templates with varied curved edges that help draw smooth irregular curves that are not simple circular arcs.
7For sharp construction lines that should not dominate the finished drawing, which pencil grade is generally preferred?
A.6B only
B.H or 2H for light construction lines
C.Only charcoal sticks
D.Only oil pastels
Explanation: Harder grades such as H or 2H make lighter, finer lines suited to construction layout; softer grades (B range) are darker for outlines and shading.
8Why should the drawing board’s working edge be straight and true?
A.Only for hanging finished art on a wall
B.So the T-square head rides accurately and horizontals stay parallel
C.To store wet paint brushes
D.To replace the need for a scale
Explanation: A true board edge lets the T-square head slide without wobble, keeping horizontal lines parallel and set-square angles reliable.
9A mini-drafter (or drafting machine) mainly combines the functions of:
A.Only a watercolour palette
B.T-square and set squares for parallel and angled lines
C.Only a clay extruder
D.Only a paper guillotine
Explanation: A mini-drafter clamps to the board and provides parallel motion with adjustable angle scales, replacing much T-square and set-square work.
10When inking finished mechanical lines, which practice is safest for accuracy?
A.Ink freehand over wet pencil smudges without guides
B.Use a technical pen or ruling pen along a clean guide after pencil layout is checked
C.Dilute ink with oil paint for shine
D.Ink only after folding the sheet
Explanation: Accurate inking follows a verified pencil construction, using a technical/ruling pen guided by a straightedge or template, with dry clean paper.

About the Punjab PSEB Matric Mechanical Drawing and Painting Exam

Punjab PSEB Matric Mechanical Drawing and Painting is the Class 10 elective (subject code 28) under the Punjab School Education Board. Official marks are Theory 40 + Practical 40 + INA 20 = 100. The syllabus combines geometrical and mechanical drawing with freehand drawing and painting: drawing instruments and line conventions; geometric construction of angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, and circles; scales and diagonal scales; solids and orthographic view concepts; elements of art and design principles; colour theory; model drawing with perspective and light and shade; lettering, poster layout, collage, clay modelling, and landscape/figure/imaginative drawing ideas. Pass requires 33% aggregate with a minimum of 25% in theory per the Scheme of Studies (confirm the current circular). Fees are notified by PSEB and paid through schools. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of theory knowledge only; they are not a substitute for practical drawing sheets, painting portfolio work, or INA.

Exam sponsor: Punjab School Education Board (PSEB). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Official PSEB Matric Mech. Drawing & Painting (code 28) is a Group-B elective assessed as Theory 40 + Practical 40 + Internal Assessment (INA) 20 = 100 under the Scheme of Studies. Syllabus Part-1 covers geometrical/scale drawing and mechanical drawing (tools, lines, angles, plane figures, scales, circles, similar/inscribed figures, solids and inclination concepts). Part-2 covers drawing and painting (art definition/types/aims; elements of art; colour theory; design principles; clay modelling; collage; model drawing with perspective and light/shade; paper craft; lettering/calligraphy; poster and layout; stencilling; landscape, imaginative, and figure drawing). The written theory paper is mixed format (not pure MCQ); practical studio/sheet work is essential. English, Punjabi, and Hindi media may be available depending on school offerings. Typical theory duration is about 2–3 hours — confirm the year’s date sheet on pseb.ac.in. This practice bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for instruments, geometric construction concepts, orthographic views, colour theory, perspective, and painting media/safety — it does not simulate official practical drawing/painting performance, portfolio assessment, or board attempt rules.

Time Limit

About 2–3 hours for theory (confirm year date sheet); practical drawing/painting tasks are separately timed as notified

Passing Score

33% aggregate of theory + practical + INA with a minimum of 25% in theory (Scheme of Studies); verify the current pass criteria circular.

Exam / Certification Fees

As notified by PSEB and paid through schools for regular Matric sittings (no single fixed public subject fee for all categories).

Punjab PSEB Matric Mechanical Drawing and Painting: Suggested Study Strategy

1Keep a personal instrument kit (T-square or mini-drafter, 30°-60° and 45° set squares, compass, divider, protractor, pencils H/HB/2B) and practise clean line control weekly.
2Drill geometric constructions (bisectors, regular polygons, tangents) with a compass before freehand work — accuracy habits transfer to mechanical sheets.
3For orthographic views, always identify the front view first, then project top and side views; sketch the glass-box relationship on scrap paper.
4Memorise primary–secondary–tertiary colour relationships and common schemes (complementary, analogous) with a small painted colour wheel.
5Practise one-point and two-point perspective boxes to place vanishing points and the horizon correctly before landscape or figure compositions.
6Treat studio safety seriously: cap paints, store blades safely, wash brushes properly, and ventilate solvent-based media if used.
7Do not neglect Practical 40 and INA 20 — complete school sheets, posters, and portfolio work on schedule alongside MCQ theory drills.
