MPSC Gazetted TS Combined Pre 2021 — Question Paper with Answer Key & Explanations

Correct answer: B

Match adverbial types: 'Pudhe patangan aahe' (kite ahead) — parinamavaachak (IV); 'Jase karaave tase bharaave' — reeteevaachak (III); 'Hallee mahagaai zhaali' — kaalavaachak (II); 'Unhaalyaat bharpoor paani pyaave' — sthalavaachak (I). Option B's IV, III, II, I sequence alone preserves Marathi grammar labels.

Correct answer: A

The answer is option A: Mahapraan consonants (ख, घ, छ, etc.) are articulated with a strong puff of breath—'great breath' consonants. Alpapraan use minimal aspiration; sanyukt are conjunct clusters; kanthya are guttural class labels—not the aspiration criterion in the stem. You can eliminate B (Alpapraan vyanjane), C (Sanyukt vyanjane), D (Kanthy vyanjane) — each one conflicts with the principle or calculation that leads to option A. MPSC papers often recycle this type of detail, so read the question carefully before you commit to an option.

Correct answer: B

Option B matches the question because With the '-ik' suffix the stem vowel stays hrasva (short): saahityik (short i) is standard; bhaugolik/saamajeek/praasangeek often show dirgha or irregular vowel length in exam keys. Apply the '-ik' hrasva rule before picking the 'shuddha' form. Distractors A (Bhaugolik), C (Saamajeek), D (Praasangeek) look plausible but do not follow from the facts stated in the question. If the question asks what is incorrect, identify the false statement first and then match it to the answer choice.

Correct answer: C

'Aajanma' (from birth/lifelong) splits as ajan + janma with the avyayeebhava compound—first member is indeclinable ('aja' = until). Tatpurusha and karmadhaaraya need different head-modifier relations; dvigu requires numeral quantifiers.

Correct answer: B

Option B works here because Option B reflects the passage thesis: understanding human nature requires excavating knowledge, research, and manan (reflective thinking)—not merely mapping Earth's eight directions (a), emotional wave-reading alone (c), or forcing a science–temperament test link (d). You can eliminate A (Pruthviche sarvageen ashtailutva jaanny…), C (Maanavi manaache bhaavtarang samajoon d…), D (Svabhaav pareekshanaalaa vidnyaanaachi …) — each one conflicts with the principle or calculation that leads to option B. Keep the name, formula, and unit together in your notes — that helps you spot incomplete distractors quickly.

Correct answer: D

The passage cites solar research as the wonder tied to human investigative limits—'sooryavaril sanshodhan' as the marvel boundary. Moon soils, thousands of particles, or Mysore-mine ivory sorting illustrate science but not the passage's chosen 'kamaal maryadaa' example.
