Sample Punjab PSEB SS Computer Science Practice Questions

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

1Which Microsoft Office application is primarily used as a word processor for creating resumes and letters?
A.Microsoft Word
B.Microsoft Excel
C.Microsoft PowerPoint
D.Microsoft Access
Explanation: Microsoft Word is the word processor used for documents such as resumes, letters, and reports. PSEB Class 12 Office Automation practicals include preparing Word resumes and saving them as PDF.
2In MS Word, which feature automatically detects and suggests corrections for many spelling mistakes as you type?
A.Mail Merge
B.AutoCorrect / Spelling & Grammar tools
C.Track Changes only
D.Macros only
Explanation: Word’s proofing tools include AutoCorrect and Spelling & Grammar checking. They flag or fix many spelling and grammar issues during document writing and editing.
3MS Excel is best described as:
A.A pure text-only chat client
B.An operating system kernel
C.A spreadsheet application for data, formulas, and charts
D.A hardware device driver
Explanation: Excel is spreadsheet software. Cells hold data and formulas; common Class 12 tasks include result sheets, AutoSum, and functions such as SUM, AVERAGE, and IF.
4In Excel, which function returns the total of a range of numbers?
A.AVERAGE
B.MAX
C.COUNT
D.SUM
Explanation: SUM adds numeric values in a range (for example, =SUM(A1:A10)). AVERAGE finds the mean, MAX the largest value, and COUNT how many numbers are present.
5Touch typing primarily refers to:
A.Typing without looking at the keyboard using correct finger placement
B.Typing only with the mouse
C.Converting audio files to video
D.Printing without paper
Explanation: Touch typing uses home-row finger placement so the typist can type accurately without watching the keys. Voice typing is a different input method using speech.
6In Excel, the formula =IF(B2>=33,"Pass","Fail") primarily demonstrates:
A.A network routing protocol
B.A conditional function that returns different text based on a test
C.A Python dictionary method
D.A hardware MAC address
Explanation: IF is a conditional function: if the logical test is true it returns the first value ("Pass"), otherwise the second ("Fail"). PSEB Excel work commonly uses IF, SUMIF, and COUNTIF.
7Which Excel feature keeps selected rows or columns visible while you scroll the rest of the sheet?
A.Conditional Formatting only
B.PivotChart only
C.Freeze Panes
D.Data Validation only
Explanation: Freeze Panes locks header rows/columns in view so labels remain visible while scrolling large tables—useful for result sheets and timetables.
8To convert an Excel workbook to a portable document for sharing without editable formulas, students typically:
A.Rename the file extension to .py
B.Upload only the MAC address
C.Disable the CPU fan
D.Export or save/print the sheet as a PDF file
Explanation: PSEB practical guidance includes converting Excel files to PDF for fixed, shareable output. PDF preserves layout for printing and review without spreadsheet editing.
9In Word, Page Setup options that control how the page is laid out before printing include:
A.Margins, orientation, and paper size
B.Only font colour of the title
C.Only the computer’s IP address
D.Only the Excel AutoSum button
Explanation: Page Setup covers margins, orientation (portrait/landscape), paper size, borders, and related print settings. Print Preview helps check the layout before printing.
10Excel’s COUNTIF function is used to:
A.Always sort text alphabetically only
B.Count cells that meet a specified criterion
C.Send email via SMTP
D.Create a Python module
Explanation: COUNTIF counts cells in a range that satisfy a condition (for example, how many marks are greater than or equal to 33). It pairs with SUMIF and IF for result analysis.

About the Punjab PSEB SS Computer Science Exam

Punjab PSEB Senior Secondary Computer Science (Subject Code 146) is compulsory for Class 12 candidates across streams under the PSEB Scheme of Studies.

Official assessment is Theory 50 + Practical 45 + Project work/Internal Assessment 5 = 100 with board-level evaluation and board-level practicals via external examiners. Pass requires at least 33% separately in theory, practical, and project/INA, and 33% overall. This free local bank provides English four-option MCQs for theory revision; pair it with official syllabi and hands-on lab practice via pseb.ac.in. Official languages commonly include English and Punjabi; this bank is an English MCQ study adaptation only and is not a substitute for practical/performance assessment.

Punjab PSEB SS Computer Science: Suggested Study Strategy

1Treat Practical (45) and Project/INA (5) as half the subject—MCQ speed does not replace completed lab files and board practical readiness.
2Build one resume in Word (print + PDF) and one formula-driven Excel result sheet so Office Automation theory maps to practical tasks.
3Memorize the OSI seven layers with one real service example each (e.g., HTTP at Application, IP at Network).
4Drill Python built-ins (bin/oct/hex, ord/chr, divmod, sorted) and write small UDFs for circle area and list traversal as in the practical list.
5For collections, practise list/string slicing, membership, dictionary add/update/delete, and tuple packing/unpacking with short dry-runs.
6After each MCQ set, rewrite one short theory answer (definitions + examples) so MCQ recall transfers to the official written theory paper.
