1Solve 2x + 3 = 11 for x.
A.4
B.7
C.3
D.11
Explanation: Solving 2x = 8 by dividing both sides by 2 gives x = 4.
2Solve 5x − 5 = 20 for x.
A.5
B.4
C.15
D.25
Explanation: Solving 5x = 25 by dividing both sides by 5 gives x = 5.
3Solve 3x = 0 for x.
A.0
B.3
C.1
D.−3
Explanation: The only solution is x=0.
4If y = 2x − 1, then when x=4, y=
A.7
B.8
C.6
D.9
Explanation: Subtracting 1 from both sides gives y = 8 − 1 = 7.
5Slope of the line y = −(1/2)x + 9 is:
A.−1/2
B.9
C.1/2
D.0
Explanation: Coefficient of x is the slope.
615% of 80 equals:
A.12
B.15
C.80
D.8
Explanation: Fifteen percent of 80 is 0.15 × 80 = 12.
7A value increases from 40 to 50. Percentage increase is:
A.25%
B.10%
C.20%
D.50%
Explanation: Increase 10 on 40 is 25%.
8Ratio 3:4 with first term 9 implies second term:
A.12
B.7
C.36
D.4
Explanation: Cross-multiplying 9/x = 3/4 gives 3x = 36, so x = 12.
9Mean of 6, 8, 10 is:
A.8
B.6
C.10
D.24
Explanation: The arithmetic mean is (6 + 8 + 10) / 3 = 8.

WBCHSE HS Basic Mathematics for Social Sciences: Suggested Study Strategy

1Focus on interpreting data rather than just crunching numbers.
2Understand the conceptual meaning of derivatives (e.g., marginal cost/revenue).
3Practice calculating standard deviation and variance accurately.
4Review basic linear programming and optimization for social resource allocation.
5Use Venn diagrams for set theory and logic problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who takes this exam?

Arts and Social Sciences students who opt for BMSS as an elective subject.

Is calculus mandatory?

Yes, but it focuses on applications like marginal utility and rates of change rather than complex derivations.

What is the passing mark?

Students must secure at least 30% in theory and in practical/project independently for the mandatory best-of-five subjects (two languages and three electives), per the Council examination FAQ.

Can I use a calculator?

Basic non-programmable calculators are generally permitted, subject to specific year guidelines.

Are there project marks?

Yes, standard WBCHSE structure typically allocates 20 marks to project work and 80 to theory.

How is this different from core mathematics?

BMSS avoids complex geometry and pure math in favor of statistical and algebraic tools used in social sciences.

Are these MCQs identical to the official WBCHSE BMSS question paper?

No. Official non-language elective papers are set in Bengali and English under the semester system and may include descriptive and practical/project components. These items are an English MCQ study adaptation only.
