Question 1Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 8 Science syllabus, which of the following is classified as a synthetic fibre produced from petroleum-based raw materials?

  1. Nylon Correct answer.
  2. Jute
  3. Cotton
  4. Silk

Explanation

Nylon is a fully synthetic fibre made by polymerising petrochemical-derived monomers such as adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. Jute, silk and cotton are natural fibres obtained from plants or animals.

Question 2Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Science teacher demonstrates that a freely suspended bar magnet always comes to rest pointing roughly north-south. This observation is best explained by the fact that the Earth behaves like a:

  1. gravitational field that aligns all metals
  2. rotating conductor that induces static charge
  3. uniform electric field directed towards the equator
  4. large magnetic dipole with its magnetic south pole near geographic north Correct answer.

Explanation

The Earth acts as a huge magnetic dipole whose magnetic south pole lies close to the geographic north pole. The north pole of a suspended magnet is attracted towards it, so the magnet aligns north-south.

Question 3Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

While teaching 'Separation of Substances' in Class 6, which technique is most appropriate for separating a mixture of common salt and water to recover both components?

  1. Distillation Correct answer.
  2. Filtration
  3. Sedimentation
  4. Handpicking

Explanation

Salt dissolves completely in water, so filtration or sedimentation cannot separate the dissolved solute. Distillation evaporates the water and condenses it, leaving the salt behind and recovering both components.

Question 4Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 9 Mathematics lesson on polynomials, what is the remainder when p(x) = 2x³ − 3x² + 4x − 5 is divided by (x − 2)?

  1. −5
  2. 7 Correct answer.
  3. 11
  4. 3

Explanation

By the Remainder Theorem, the remainder on division by (x − a) equals p(a). Here p(2) = 2(8) − 3(4) + 4(2) − 5 = 16 − 12 + 8 − 5 = 7.

Question 5Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT English teacher wants learners to identify the literary device in the line 'The wind whispered through the deserted corridors.' Which device is being used?

  1. Personification Correct answer.
  2. Simile
  3. Onomatopoeia
  4. Hyperbole

Explanation

Personification attributes human qualities or actions to non-human things; 'whispered' is a human action given to the wind. A simile would require an explicit comparison using 'like' or 'as'.

Question 6Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the EMRS context, a TGT English is teaching the poem 'The Road Not Taken'. Which interpretation of the closing lines best matches Frost's ironic tone?

  1. The speaker confidently claims his choice changed everything for the better
  2. The speaker states that both roads were physically identical in every respect
  3. The speaker regrets ever having to choose between the roads
  4. The speaker admits he will later retell the choice with a sigh, possibly misrepresenting it Correct answer.

Explanation

The final stanza's 'I shall be telling this with a sigh' signals that the speaker will narrate the past selectively, perhaps falsely, to justify his choice. Frost's irony lies in the gap between the actual trivial difference and the later heroic retelling.

Question 7Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In Hindi grammar taught at the upper primary level, the word 'सुंदरता' is formed by adding which suffix (प्रत्यय) to the base word?

  1. ता Correct answer.
  2. पन
  3. इक
  4. आई

Explanation

'सुंदरता' is formed by adding the suffix 'ता' to 'सुंदर'. Suffixes like 'ता' typically convert adjectives into abstract nouns denoting a quality.

Question 8Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 7 Social Science lesson on the Mughal Empire, which administrative feature is most closely associated with Sher Shah Suri's revenue reforms later adopted by Akbar?

  1. The mansabdari ranking of officers
  2. The zabti system of measuring land for revenue Correct answer.
  3. The jagir assignment to military commanders
  4. The din-i-ilahi religious order

Explanation

Sher Shah Suri introduced a system of measuring cultivated land and fixing revenue on that basis, which Akbar's finance minister Todar Mal developed into the zabti (dahsala) system. Mansabdari and jagir systems are more closely identified with Akbar's own administrative structure.

Question 9Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 6 Geography chapter on motions of the Earth, which statement correctly describes the consequence of the Earth's revolution around the Sun?

  1. It causes the change of seasons Correct answer.
  2. It causes deflection of winds to the right in the northern hemisphere
  3. It causes day and night alternately at a place
  4. It causes the daily apparent movement of stars

Explanation

The Earth's revolution combined with the tilt of its axis produces the annual cycle of seasons. Day and night and the apparent daily motion of stars arise from rotation, not revolution.

Question 10Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Computer Science teacher asks students to write a Python expression. Which expression evaluates to True when x = 10 and y = 20?

  1. x > y or x == y
  2. x != 10 and y == 20
  3. not (x < y)
  4. x < y and y > 15 Correct answer.

Explanation

With x = 10 and y = 20, both x < y (True) and y > 15 (True) hold, so the conjunction is True. The other options each contain at least one False operand that makes the whole expression False.

Question 11Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 8 Science lesson on combustion, which of the following substances has the lowest ignition temperature and is therefore most easily ignited?

  1. Kerosene
  2. Coal
  3. Charcoal
  4. White phosphorus Correct answer.

Explanation

White phosphorus has a very low ignition temperature (around 30 °C) and catches fire spontaneously in air. Coal, kerosene and charcoal require much higher temperatures to ignite.

Question 12Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Mathematics teacher is teaching the Pythagorean theorem. A right-angled triangle has legs of length 9 cm and 12 cm. What is the length of its hypotenuse?

  1. 15 cm Correct answer.
  2. 18 cm
  3. 21 cm
  4. 13 cm

Explanation

By the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared equals 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225, so the hypotenuse is √225 = 15 cm. This is a 3-4-5 triangle scaled by a factor of 3.

Question 13Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In English grammar for the upper primary stage, identify the sentence in which the underlined clause functions as a noun clause:

  1. She left early because the hall was crowded.
  2. That she won the debate surprised everyone. Correct answer.
  3. The boy who scored the goal is my cousin.
  4. He ran so quickly that no one could catch him.

Explanation

In 'That she won the debate surprised everyone', the clause 'That she won the debate' is the subject of the verb 'surprised' and thus functions as a noun clause. The other clauses are adverbial or relative in function.

Question 14Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 10 Science lesson on electricity, which quantity remains the same across each resistor connected in a parallel combination?

  1. Current
  2. Voltage Correct answer.
  3. Resistance
  4. Power dissipated

Explanation

In a parallel circuit, each resistor is connected directly across the same two nodes, so the potential difference (voltage) across each branch is identical. Current divides among the branches in inverse proportion to their resistances.

Question 15Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

While teaching the Class 8 chapter 'Cell - Structure and Functions', a teacher asks which structure is present in a plant cell but absent in an animal cell.

  1. Nucleus
  2. Plasma membrane
  3. Cell wall Correct answer.
  4. Mitochondrion

Explanation

Plant cells have a rigid cellulose cell wall outside the plasma membrane that provides shape and protection. Animal cells lack a cell wall, though they share the nucleus, mitochondria and plasma membrane.

Question 16Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Social Science is explaining the Indian Constitution. Which feature ensures that the fundamental rights of citizens cannot be taken away by an ordinary law of Parliament?

  1. Directive Principles of State Policy
  2. The Preamble
  3. Judicial review Correct answer.
  4. The Eleventh Schedule

Explanation

Judicial review empowers the courts, especially the Supreme Court, to examine laws and strike down those that violate fundamental rights. This makes the rights enforceable rather than merely declaratory.

Question 17Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 9 Science chapter on sound, a student asks why sound cannot travel through a vacuum. The correct explanation is that:

  1. sound travels only through gases
  2. vacuum absorbs all frequencies of sound
  3. sound requires a material medium for its mechanical vibrations to propagate Correct answer.
  4. sound waves are electromagnetic and need a conductor

Explanation

Sound is a mechanical wave, so it must have a material medium whose particles vibrate to carry the disturbance. A vacuum has no particles, hence no sound propagation.

Question 18Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Mathematics is teaching the topic of rational numbers in Class 8. Which of the following rational numbers lies between 1/3 and 1/2?

  1. 5/12 Correct answer.
  2. 3/4
  3. 1/6
  4. 2/3

Explanation

Converting to twelfths gives 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/2 = 6/12, so 5/12 lies exactly between them. The other fractions fall outside the interval.

Question 19Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 10 Social Science lesson on resources, which classification best describes wind energy in the context of renewable and non-renewable resources?

  1. Non-renewable and non-recyclable
  2. Renewable and inexhaustible Correct answer.
  3. Non-renewable but recyclable
  4. Renewable but exhaustible

Explanation

Wind energy is continuously replenished by natural atmospheric processes and is not depleted by use, so it is a renewable and inexhaustible resource. It does not fall into the non-renewable category.

Question 20Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 7 Science chapter on nutrition in plants, which statement about the role of chlorophyll is accurate?

  1. It transports water from roots to leaves
  2. It stores starch produced in leaves
  3. It traps solar energy for photosynthesis Correct answer.
  4. It absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

Explanation

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, mainly in the blue and red regions, to drive photosynthesis. It does not itself absorb carbon dioxide or transport water.

Question 21Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT English teacher is teaching formal letter writing. Which salutation is appropriate for a letter to the editor of a national daily?

  1. My dear Editor
  2. Respected Sir/Madam Correct answer.
  3. Hi there
  4. Dear friend

Explanation

Formal letters to officials or editors use a respectful salutation such as 'Respected Sir/Madam' or 'Sir/Madam', followed by a formal closing. Casual greetings belong to informal correspondence.

Question 22Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In Class 9 Physics, a body moving with uniform acceleration covers 20 m in the 3rd second and 40 m in the 5th second. What is its acceleration?

  1. 10 m/s² Correct answer.
  2. 15 m/s²
  3. 20 m/s²
  4. 5 m/s²

Explanation

The distance covered in the nth second is u + a(n − ½). Subtracting the expressions for the 5th and 3rd seconds gives a(5 − 3) = 40 − 20, so 2a = 20 and a = 10 m/s².

Question 23Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 6 Mathematics lesson on whole numbers, which property is illustrated by the statement 7 × (10 + 3) = (7 × 10) + (7 × 3)?

  1. Associative property of multiplication
  2. Distributive property of multiplication over addition Correct answer.
  3. Commutative property of multiplication
  4. Closure property of addition

Explanation

The distributive property states that a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c), which is exactly the form shown. Commutative and associative laws concern order and grouping, not distribution over a sum.

Question 24Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Social Science is discussing the Indian freedom movement. Which session of the Indian National Congress adopted the resolution demanding 'Purna Swaraj'?

  1. Calcutta session, 1928
  2. Nagpur session, 1920
  3. Karachi session, 1931
  4. Lahore session, 1929 Correct answer.

Explanation

At the Lahore session in December 1929, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress adopted the Purna Swaraj resolution and declared 26 January 1930 as the first Independence Day. The Karachi session of 1931 dealt with the Gandhi-Irwin Pact and fundamental rights.

Question 25Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 8 Science chapter on microorganisms, which microorganism is used in the production of curd from milk?

  1. Lactobacillus Correct answer.
  2. Penicillium
  3. Yeast
  4. Rhizobium

Explanation

Lactobacillus bacteria convert lactose in milk into lactic acid, which curdles the milk and gives curd its sour taste. Yeast is used in baking and fermentation of sugars, not curd formation.

Question 26Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT English teacher in an EMRS is introducing the poem 'The Road Not Taken'. Which element of the poem best supports a discussion of metaphor in the classroom?

  1. The rhyme scheme of the poem's four-line stanzas
  2. The repeated use of the word 'sigh' in the final stanza
  3. The description of the undergrowth and the leaves on the ground
  4. The two roads that diverge in a yellow wood standing for life's choices Correct answer.

Explanation

A metaphor works by presenting one thing as another so that a comparison is implied rather than stated. The diverging roads in the wood are the central extended metaphor for the choices a person makes in life, which is why they support metaphor analysis. The rhyme scheme and the literal scenery are poetic features but do not function symbolically in the same way.

Question 27Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In Hindi grammar at the upper primary stage, the word 'लिखावट' is formed by adding which प्रत्यय to the root?

  1. पन
  2. ता
  3. इक
  4. आवट Correct answer.

Explanation

A प्रत्यय is a suffix added after a root word to form a new word. The root 'लिख' takes the suffix 'आवट' to yield 'लिखावट', meaning handwriting or writing style. The other suffixes attach to different roots and form different words, so they cannot explain this particular formation.

Question 28Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

While teaching the Mughal Empire in Class 7 Social Science, a teacher explains the mansabdari system. Which statement best describes the mansabdar's obligation under this system?

  1. He controlled only religious endowments granted by the emperor.
  2. He served as a hereditary governor of a province with no fixed military duty.
  3. He collected revenue directly from peasants and kept one-sixth for himself.
  4. He held a rank that fixed his salary and the number of troops he had to maintain. Correct answer.

Explanation

Mansabdars were holders of ranks (mansabs) expressed in zat and sawar, which determined their status and pay and required them to maintain a specified number of cavalrymen for the emperor. Their position was not hereditary and depended on imperial service. This made the system a key instrument of Mughal military and administrative control.

Question 29Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 6 Geography chapter on the Earth's motions, which observation is a direct consequence of the Earth's rotation on its axis?

  1. The change of seasons over the year
  2. The varying length of daylight in summer and winter
  3. The occurrence of day and night at a given place Correct answer.
  4. The deflection of planetary winds across latitudes

Explanation

Rotation is the spinning of the Earth on its tilted axis once in about 24 hours, so different longitudes face the Sun at different times, producing day and night. Seasons and the varying length of daylight arise from revolution combined with the tilt of the axis. Wind deflection is a separate effect of rotation on moving air, not the day-night cycle itself.

Question 30Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Computer Science teacher asks students to evaluate a Python expression. If x = 15 and y = 4, which expression evaluates to True?

  1. x // y == 3 and x % y == 3 Correct answer.
  2. x // y == 4 or x % y == 0
  3. x % y == 4
  4. x / y == 3

Explanation

In Python, '//' performs floor division and '%' gives the remainder. Here 15 // 4 equals 3 and 15 % 4 equals 3, so both parts of the conjunction are True. The other expressions compare values that do not match the actual results of these operations.

Question 31Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 8 Science lesson on combustion, a teacher explains spontaneous combustion. Which material is commonly cited as undergoing spontaneous combustion when stored in bulk in warm conditions?

  1. Iron nails in water
  2. Coal dust in a heap Correct answer.
  3. Dry wood shavings
  4. Kerosene in a closed can

Explanation

Spontaneous combustion occurs when a material's temperature rises through slow oxidation or biological activity until it reaches its ignition point without an external flame. Coal dust piled in bulk can heat up internally and catch fire, which is why such heaps are monitored. The other materials need an external ignition source or react in ways that do not produce self-ignition.

Question 32Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Mathematics teacher gives a right-angled triangle with legs of 7 cm and 24 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

  1. 25 cm Correct answer.
  2. 31 cm
  3. 17 cm
  4. 23 cm

Explanation

By the Pythagorean theorem the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the legs. Here 7 squared is 49 and 24 squared is 576, giving 625, whose square root is 25 cm. This is a standard Pythagorean triple, so the result is exact.

Question 33Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In English grammar at the upper primary stage, a teacher wants a sentence in which the underlined part is a subordinate noun clause acting as the object of the verb. Which sentence fits?

  1. The book that she borrowed is on the table.
  2. Although it rained, the match continued.
  3. She believes that hard work always pays off. Correct answer.
  4. The boy standing near the gate is my cousin.

Explanation

A noun clause performs the work of a noun, here serving as the direct object of the verb 'believes'. The clause 'that hard work always pays off' answers the question 'believes what?'. The other sentences contain a relative clause, an adverb clause, and a participial phrase respectively.

Question 34Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 10 Science lesson on electricity, three resistors are connected in parallel across a battery. Which statement about the parallel arrangement is correct?

  1. The current through each resistor is the same.
  2. The total current divides equally only if the resistances are equal.
  3. The equivalent resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.
  4. The potential difference across each resistor is the same. Correct answer.

Explanation

In a parallel circuit every resistor is connected directly across the same two nodes, so the potential difference across each branch equals the battery voltage. Current divides in inverse proportion to resistance, and the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance equals the sum of the reciprocals. Equal current division happens only when the resistances are equal.

Question 35Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

While teaching the Class 8 chapter 'Cell - Structure and Functions', a teacher asks which structure is found in a plant cell but absent in an animal cell.

  1. Mitochondrion
  2. Golgi apparatus
  3. Plastid Correct answer.
  4. Ribosome

Explanation

Plastids, including chloroplasts, are organelles characteristic of plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis and storage. Mitochondria, ribosomes and the Golgi apparatus occur in both plant and animal cells. The presence of a rigid cell wall and plastids are the standard distinguishing features taught at this level.

Question 36Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Social Science teacher is explaining judicial review under the Indian Constitution. Which power best illustrates judicial review?

  1. A high court striking down a state law that violates a fundamental right Correct answer.
  2. Parliament amending a schedule of the Constitution
  3. The Election Commission cancelling a candidate's nomination
  4. The President returning a bill to Parliament for reconsideration

Explanation

Judicial review is the power of the courts to examine laws and executive actions and declare them invalid if they conflict with the Constitution, especially fundamental rights. Courts striking down a law for violating a right is the clearest example. The other options are legislative, executive or administrative actions rather than judicial scrutiny of constitutionality.

Question 37Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 9 Science chapter on sound, a student asks why sound cannot travel through a vacuum. Which explanation is scientifically correct?

  1. Sound waves are electromagnetic and are blocked by empty space.
  2. Sound travels only through solids because gases cannot vibrate.
  3. Sound needs a material medium whose particles can vibrate and transmit the disturbance. Correct answer.
  4. Sound is absorbed completely by the walls of a vacuum chamber.

Explanation

Sound is a mechanical wave, so it propagates by the vibration of particles in a medium such as air, water or a solid. A vacuum has no particles to carry the disturbance, so sound cannot travel through it. This is why sound cannot cross the empty space between two objects in a vacuum chamber.

Question 38Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Mathematics teacher asks Class 8 students to place rational numbers on a number line. Which rational number lies between 2/5 and 3/5?

  1. 4/5
  2. 1/2 Correct answer.
  3. 1/5
  4. 7/10

Explanation

Converting to decimals, 2/5 is 0.4 and 3/5 is 0.6, and 1/2 equals 0.5, which lies between them. A reliable method is to compare fractions by cross-multiplication or to find a common denominator. The other fractions fall outside the interval.

Question 39Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 10 Social Science lesson on resources, a teacher classifies wind energy. Which classification is most appropriate?

  1. Non-renewable and non-conventional
  2. Renewable and conventional
  3. Renewable and non-conventional Correct answer.
  4. Non-renewable and conventional

Explanation

Wind energy is replenished naturally and is not exhausted by use, so it is renewable. It is also a newer source that does not rely on the traditional fuels such as coal and petroleum, so it is classified as non-conventional. Combining these two criteria gives the correct classification.

Question 40Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 7 Science chapter on nutrition in plants, which statement about chlorophyll is accurate?

  1. It breaks down starch into glucose inside the leaf.
  2. It is the gas released into the air during photosynthesis.
  3. It absorbs light energy that drives the synthesis of food during photosynthesis. Correct answer.
  4. It transports water from the roots to the leaves.

Explanation

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight, and this captured energy powers the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrate. Oxygen is the gas released, and water transport is the function of xylem. Chlorophyll itself does not digest starch.

Question 41Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In Class 9 Physics, a body moves with uniform acceleration. It covers 20 m in the third second and 40 m in the fifth second. What is its acceleration?

  1. 2 m/s²
  2. 10 m/s² Correct answer.
  3. 5 m/s²
  4. 20 m/s²

Explanation

The distance covered in the nth second is u + a(2n − 1)/2. Subtracting the expression for n = 3 from that for n = 5 gives a difference of 2a, and here that difference equals 40 − 20 = 20 m, so a = 10 m/s². The initial velocity cancels out in this subtraction.

Question 42Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 6 Mathematics lesson on whole numbers, a teacher writes 7 × (10 + 3) = (7 × 10) + (7 × 3). Which property does this illustrate?

  1. Distributivity of multiplication over addition Correct answer.
  2. Closure property of whole numbers under multiplication
  3. Commutativity of multiplication
  4. Associativity of addition

Explanation

The distributive property states that a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c), allowing multiplication to be spread over each term inside the bracket. The given statement follows exactly this pattern with 7, 10 and 3. Commutativity and associativity concern changing order or grouping, which is not what happens here.

Question 43Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Social Science teacher is discussing the Indian freedom movement. Which session of the Indian National Congress adopted the resolution demanding Purna Swaraj?

  1. Calcutta session, 1906
  2. Lucknow session, 1916
  3. Lahore session, 1929 Correct answer.
  4. Karachi session, 1931

Explanation

At the Lahore session in December 1929, presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru, the Congress adopted the goal of complete independence or Purna Swaraj. The tricolour was unfurled and 26 January 1930 was declared as the first Independence Day. The other sessions are associated with different milestones of the national movement.

Question 44Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 8 Science chapter on microorganisms, a teacher asks which microorganism is responsible for converting milk into curd.

  1. Yeast
  2. Rhizobium
  3. Lactobacillus Correct answer.
  4. Plasmodium

Explanation

Curd is formed when lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus ferment lactose in milk into lactic acid, which curdles the milk proteins. Yeast is used in baking and fermentation of sugars into alcohol, while Rhizobium fixes nitrogen in legume roots and Plasmodium causes malaria.

Question 45Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Mathematics teacher is teaching polynomials in Class 10. If the quadratic polynomial has zeros 3 and −2, which expression represents it up to a constant factor?

  1. x² − x − 6 Correct answer.
  2. x² + x − 6
  3. x² − 5x + 6
  4. x² + 5x + 6

Explanation

A quadratic with zeros α and β can be written as k(x − α)(x − β). Substituting 3 and −2 gives (x − 3)(x + 2) = x² − x − 6, since the sum of zeros is 1 and the product is −6. The coefficient of x is the negative of the sum, and the constant term is the product.

Question 46Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 8 Social Science lesson on the Indian Parliament, a teacher explains the Rajya Sabha. Which statement about the Rajya Sabha is correct?

  1. Its members are elected indirectly by the elected members of the state legislative assemblies. Correct answer.
  2. It has no role in the passage of ordinary bills.
  3. Its members are directly elected by the people in general elections.
  4. It is dissolved along with the Lok Sabha every five years.

Explanation

The Rajya Sabha is the Council of States, and its members are chosen by the elected members of state legislative assemblies through proportional representation by single transferable vote. It is a permanent house that is never dissolved as a whole, with one-third of members retiring every two years. It participates fully in legislation, though it cannot vote on money bills.

Question 47Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT English teacher is teaching figures of speech. In the line 'The wind whispered through the trees', which figure is used and why?

  1. Metonymy, because a related object stands for a thing
  2. Simile, because the comparison uses 'like' or 'as'
  3. Personification, because a human ability is given to a non-human thing Correct answer.
  4. Hyperbole, because the statement is an obvious exaggeration

Explanation

Personification attributes human qualities or actions to non-human entities, and whispering is a human action given here to the wind. A simile would require an explicit comparison with 'like' or 'as', and hyperbole would involve deliberate exaggeration. Metonymy substitutes a related term for a thing, which does not apply.

Question 48Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In the NCERT Class 10 Science chapter on life processes, a teacher explains the human nephron. Which statement about the nephron is correct?

  1. Selective reabsorption occurs in the glomerulus.
  2. Glucose and most water are reabsorbed into the blood in the tubule. Correct answer.
  3. Urine is formed directly in the renal artery.
  4. Blood is filtered in the collecting duct.

Explanation

Filtration occurs in the glomerulus, and the filtrate then passes through the tubule where useful substances such as glucose, amino acids and much of the water are reabsorbed into the blood by selective reabsorption. The remaining fluid becomes urine and is collected in the collecting duct. This two-step process explains why urine is more concentrated than the initial filtrate.

Question 49Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

A TGT Computer Science teacher asks students to identify the output of a Python loop. What does the code print?\n\ntotal = 0\nfor i in range(1, 5):\n total += i\nprint(total)

  1. 15
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 10 Correct answer.

Explanation

The function range(1, 5) produces the integers 1, 2, 3 and 4, since the stop value is excluded. Adding these gives 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10. The value 15 would result if the loop ran up to and including 5.

Question 50Subject concerned (TGT discipline, e.g. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Social Studies, Computer Science, Art, Music, PET, Regional Language, Librarian)

In a Class 10 Social Science lesson on agriculture, a teacher discusses the Green Revolution in India. Which combination best describes its main features?

  1. Organic farming with no chemical inputs
  2. High-yielding seed varieties with assured irrigation and chemical fertilisers Correct answer.
  3. Shifting cultivation with slash-and-burn clearing
  4. Plantation farming of a single cash crop for export

Explanation

The Green Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s introduced high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, especially in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh. These were combined with assured irrigation, chemical fertilisers and pesticides to raise yields sharply. Organic farming, shifting cultivation and plantation agriculture are different systems altogether.
