Sample UPMSP High School Home Science (for Boys) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the UPMSP High School Home Science (for Boys) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In UPMSP High School optional Home Science (code 938), carbohydrates mainly supply the body with:

A.Immediate energy for daily activity

B.Only structural proteins for muscles

C.Fat-soluble vitamins A and D alone

D.Iodine needed solely for bone growth

Explanation: Carbohydrates (starches and sugars) are the body's preferred quick fuel. Glucose from digestion fuels brain and muscle work during school, sports, and household tasks covered in the 938 path.

2Which nutrient is most important for building and repairing body tissues after sports injury or daily wear?

A.Simple table sugar only

B.Protein

C.Pure refined oil with no other foods

D.Food colouring agents

Explanation: Proteins supply amino acids used to build and repair muscle, skin, blood, and enzymes. Optional 938 Home Science emphasises protein-rich dals, milk, eggs, meat, and soya for growing adolescents.

3A balanced diet for a Class 10 student choosing optional Home Science 938 should ideally include:

A.Only fried snacks every meal

B.Water alone with no solid food

C.Foods from all major food groups in suitable amounts

D.Only one food type for the whole day

Explanation: A balanced diet combines cereals, pulses, milk/meat/eggs or alternatives, vegetables, fruits, fats in moderation, and water so all nutrients are met without excess of one food.

4Vitamin C deficiency is classically linked with which disease?

A.Goitre only from excess vitamin C

B.Night blindness only from vitamin C lack

C.Rickets solely from vitamin C lack

D.Scurvy

Explanation: Scurvy results from prolonged lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Fresh citrus, amla, guava, and green vegetables help prevent it—standard 938 nutrition content.

5Which mineral is most closely associated with strong bones and teeth in adolescents?

A.Calcium

B.Only iron with no calcium role

C.Only sodium as the sole bone mineral

D.Chlorine gas inhaled from air

Explanation: Calcium (with phosphorus and vitamin D) mineralises bones and teeth. Milk, curd, ragi, sesame, and green leafy vegetables are practical sources taught in Home Science.

6Iron-rich foods are especially important in optional Home Science study because iron helps prevent:

A.Only vitamin D toxicity

B.Anaemia (low haemoglobin)

C.Only dental fluorosis from iron

D.Only pure protein allergy

Explanation: Iron is part of haemoglobin that carries oxygen. Green leafy vegetables, jaggery, legumes, and animal foods (where eaten) support anaemia prevention—key adolescent health content.

7Water in the human diet primarily helps the body to:

A.Replace all need for protein forever

B.Act as the only source of vitamin B12

C.Regulate temperature, transport nutrients, and remove wastes

D.Build fat stores without any food energy

Explanation: Water is essential for digestion, circulation, temperature control, and excretion. Home Science meal plans always include safe drinking water alongside solid foods.

8Roughage (dietary fibre) in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains mainly helps:

A.Replace all vitamins completely

B.Cause only night blindness when eaten

C.Act as pure table salt

D.Promote healthy bowel movement and satiety

Explanation: Fibre adds bulk, supports digestion, and helps prevent constipation. Whole grains, dal skins, fruits, and vegetables are practical fibre sources in Indian meals.

9Which cooking method generally conserves more water-soluble vitamins than prolonged boiling and discarding the water?

A.Steaming or pressure-cooking with minimal water

B.Boiling vegetables for hours then throwing away the stock

C.Deep-frying at very high heat for a long time only

D.Leaving cut vegetables in strong sunlight for days

Explanation: Water-soluble vitamins (B-complex, C) leach into cooking water. Steaming or pressure-cooking with little water and short time retains more nutrients—practical kitchen skill for 938.

10Food adulteration means:

A.Washing fruits before eating

B.Deliberately adding inferior, harmful, or non-food substances to reduce quality or cost

C.Labelling a pure product honestly

D.Cooking food at home for the family

Explanation: Adulteration is illegal or deceptive addition of cheaper/harmful materials (e.g., water in milk, stones in pulses). Consumer awareness is part of Home Science resource management and nutrition.
