Sample WBBSE Madhyamik Physical Science Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your WBBSE Madhyamik Physical Science exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which gas is the main constituent of natural gas and biogas?
A.Methane
B.Carbon dioxide
C.Ethane
D.Hydrogen sulfide
Explanation: Methane (CH4) makes up over 75% of natural gas and 50-70% of biogas, serving as the primary combustible component.
2In which layer of the Earth's atmosphere is the protective ozone layer located?
A.Troposphere
B.Stratosphere
C.Mesosphere
D.Thermosphere
Explanation: The ozone layer (O3) is situated in the lower region of the stratosphere, roughly 15 km to 35 km above Earth's surface, absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation.
3Which atmospheric gas contributes most significantly to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect on Earth?
A.Oxygen
B.Nitrogen
C.Carbon dioxide
D.Argon
Explanation: Carbon dioxide (CO2) released from fossil fuel combustion is the leading contributor to human-induced global warming and climate change.
4Which chemical species catalytic cycle is primarily responsible for artificial ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere?
A.Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
B.Carbon monoxide
C.Methane
D.Sulfur dioxide
Explanation: Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) release free chlorine radicals under solar UV light, which catalytically decompose ozone molecules into diatomic oxygen.
5Which of the following is classified as a non-renewable source of energy?
A.Solar energy
B.Coal
C.Wind energy

A.13.75 MJ
B.220 MJ
C.110 MJ
D.440 MJ
Explanation: Total heat energy released = mass * calorific value = 4 kg * 55 MJ/kg = 220 MJ.
8What is the SI unit of pressure?
A.Pascal
B.Atmosphere
C.Torr
D.Bar
Explanation: The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa), defined as 1 Newton per square meter (N/m^2).
9What is the theoretical value of absolute zero temperature on the Celsius scale?
A.0 °C
B.-273.15 °C
C.-100 °C
D.273.15 °C
Explanation: Absolute zero corresponds to 0 Kelvin, which equals -273.15 °C (commonly rounded to -273 °C).
10What is the volume occupied by 1 mole of any ideal gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)?
A.11.2 Liters
B.22.4 Liters
C.44.8 Liters
D.2.24 Liters
Explanation: According to Avogadro's hypothesis, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies a molar volume of 22.4 L (22,400 cm^3) at STP.

About the WBBSE Madhyamik Physical Science Exam

The WBBSE Madhyamik Physical Science examination evaluates Class 10 secondary students on core physics and chemistry topics. Physics units include Light, Current Electricity, Thermal Phenomena, and Atomic Nucleus. Chemistry units encompass the Periodic Table, Chemical Bonding, Electricity and Chemical Reactions (Electrolysis), Inorganic Chemistry (laboratory and industrial preparation of Ammonia, Hydrogen Sulfide, Nitrogen, Nitric Acid, and Sulfuric Acid), Metallurgy, and Organic Chemistry. Note: This practice question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation for the WBBSE Madhyamik Physical Science examination.

Assessment

Madhyamik Physical Science: 90-mark written paper (objective, very-short, short and long answer) plus 10 marks internal assessment, written in a single 3-hour-15-minute sitting.

Time Limit

3 hours 15 minutes (10:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., including 15 minutes' reading time)

Passing Score

WBBSE reports each subject on a seven-point grade scale: AA 90-100, A+ 80-89, A 60-79, B+ 45-59, B 35-44, C 25-34 (marginal pass) and D below 25 (disqualified). Grade C is therefore the minimum subject grade and a D in any compulsory subject makes the overall result unsuccessful. Division bands are separate: 1st division 480+, 2nd 360+, 3rd 272+ out of 800.

Exam Fee

WBBSE does not publish a single per-candidate examination fee with the Madhyamik routine. Enrolment is made by the school online through wbbsedata.com within the Board's registration window, and the amount payable is set by the Board's enrolment circular for that session. Confirm the current figure with your school or the Board's notification rather than relying on a quoted estimate. (West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE))
