खालीलपैकी कोणती जीवनसत्त्वे पाण्यात विद्राव्य आहेत ?
This MPSC previous-year question is drawn from MPSC Group B Combined Pre 2026 (Marathi). It belongs to the Science section and is reproduced here in Marathi exactly as it appeared in the official Maharashtra Public Service Commission paper, along with the four options, the official Set A answer key and a compact explanation of why the correct option is correct.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
पडताळलेले उत्तर पर्याय C आहे. पाण्यात विरघळणारी जीवनसत्त्वे म्हणजे ब-समूह (B-complex) व क जीवनसत्त्व; अ, ड, ई व के ही स्निग्धांत विरघळणारी. म्हणून ब-समूह अधिक क हा पाण्यात विरघळणारा संच.
Why this question matters
The Maharashtra Public Service Commission recycles science question patterns across its main five recruitment examinations. Solving a PYQ from one paper substantially increases your accuracy on adjacent papers because the underlying facts and the option-craft are identical. That cross-transfer is the strongest argument for prioritising PYQ practice over generic textbook review.
How to attempt this in the exam
Do the arithmetic on scratch paper even for one-step science numericals. The most common wrong answer in MPSC's numerical items is a rounding error or a unit mismatch, not a conceptual mistake. Writing each step out costs ten seconds and prevents the majority of those errors.
Subject-specific tip
Tip for Science: write the underlying formula or chemical equation in the margin. MPSC Science numericals are usually one-step substitutions; the trap is in the units, not the concept.
How MPSC frames science questions
MPSC's General Science items are almost never conceptual essays — they are precisely worded factual items with four options that swap one attribute at a time (a wrong element, a wrong hormone, a wrong disease, a wrong scientist). Recognising that pattern is worth two to three marks a paper. Practise reading the option set FIRST, then the question — if all four options are elements, you know the question is about chemistry; if all four are diseases, you know the question is about pathology. This inversion habit shaves seconds off each item.
The Nobel-related, ISRO-related and biotechnology-related items are the most current-affairs-driven part of General Science. Skim the last twelve months of PIB releases and the annual ISRO / DAE / DBT summaries — those roughly one thousand words cover every current-science item MPSC is likely to ask. Our topic-wise Science packs on the practice mode include the most recent picks from these sources.
For MPSC PSI, RTO AMVI and Technical Services papers, the science portion additionally tests applied physics — vehicle dynamics, tyre friction, engine efficiency, braking distance. Those specialised items are a large fraction of the RTO AMVI syllabus and appear on our RTO AMVI practice pack.
