Physics — kinematics · solved example
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
- 4 m/s²Correct
- 5 m/s²
- 10 m/s²
- 2 m/s²
Solution
Acceleration = change in velocity / time = (20 − 0) / 5 = 4 m/s².
Defence | BSF Head Constable (RO/RM)
BSF Head Constable (RO/RM) sets 60 General Science questions for 120 marks across 2 stages, so it is worth planning your preparation around the topics below.
Physics, chemistry and biology at roughly the secondary-school level, tested as direct factual recall. NCERT-level fundamentals cover most of it, and the questions repeat across cycles, so past-paper topics are the sharpest guide to what to revise.

Physics — electricity · solved example
What is the SI unit of electric current?
Solution
Electric current is measured in amperes (A). Volt is potential difference, ohm is resistance and watt is power.
Chemistry — atomic structure · solved example
Which subatomic particle carries a negative charge?
Solution
Electrons carry a negative charge. Protons are positive, neutrons are neutral and the nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
Chemistry — acids and bases · solved example
What is the pH value of a neutral solution at 25 °C?
Solution
A neutral solution has pH 7 at 25 °C. Values below 7 are acidic and above 7 are basic.
