TNUSRB Common Recruitment | Part II — Main Written Examination

TNUSRB Common Recruitment: 16-question main-paper practice mock

A compact TNUSRB main written exam practice mock: 16 original English-medium questions in the official 45:25 GK-to-Psychology ratio (GK 10, Psychology 6), each with a worked solution. No negative marking. Tamil eligibility prep is separate.

Before you start

16 questions in 16 minutes on a single clock — a short drill, not the full 70-question main paper.
Each question carries 1 mark with no negative marking, as in the TNUSRB main written examination.
Questions follow the official Part II split: General Knowledge 10, Psychology 6.
Every question is original, written to the pattern, with a worked solution shown after you submit.
Part I Tamil Language Eligibility Test (80 Q, qualifying at 40%) is not covered here — prepare Tamil separately from the official syllabus and model questions.

General Intelligence & Reasoning · solved example

You notice a fellow recruit spreading false rumours about a senior officer during training. The most appropriate first step is to:

Ignore it completely because it is not your problem
Calmly advise the recruit to stop and report the matter to the training instructor if it continuesCorrect
Confront the senior officer immediately with the rumour

Uniformed service requires integrity and chain-of-command discipline. Advising the recruit to stop and escalating to the instructor if needed balances correction with proper reporting. Spreading rumours or ignoring misconduct undermines team trust.
