Odisha Police Sepoy/Constable | Computer Based Recruitment Examination (CBRE)

Odisha Police Sepoy/Constable: 16-question practice mock

A compact OPSSB battalion CBRE practice mock: 16 original questions across English, GK, arithmetic, reasoning and basic computers, each with a worked solution. 0.25 negative marking. Section mix is illustrative — the official notice does not publish subject-wise counts.

Before you start

16 questions in 16 minutes on a single clock — a short drill, not the full 100-question CBRE.
Each question carries 1 mark and 0.25 marks are deducted for a wrong answer, as in the OPSSB CBRE.
The official notification fixes 100 MCQs in 120 minutes but does not publish subject-wise question counts; this drill uses an illustrative topic mix only.
Every question is original, written to the pattern, with a worked solution shown after you submit.
The real CBRE is bilingual (English and Odia); this English drill does not replace Odia-language preparation.

visible
honest

Solution

Transparent means allowing light to pass through so objects can be seen clearly; the opposite is opaque, which blocks light. Clear and visible are near-synonyms, and honest relates to character, not physical clarity.

The series skips one letter each time: A (+2) C (+2) E (+2) G (+2) I. Each step adds 2 to the alphabet position, so the next letter is I.

Because a blank carries no penalty, guessing only pays when you can eliminate at least two options. The analysis screen after the test shows you exactly where guessing cost you marks.
