UP Police Constable: 12-question practice mock

A compact UP Police Constable practice mock: 12 original questions across General Knowledge, Numerical and Mental Ability, and Reasoning, each with a worked solution. Modelled on the UPPRPB written-exam pattern, not copied from any paper.

Before you start

  • 12 questions in 12 minutes on a single clock — a short drill, not the full 150-question paper.
  • Each question carries 2 marks and 0.5 marks are deducted for a wrong answer, exactly as in the UP Police Constable written exam.
  • The real paper also has a General Hindi section, which this English-language drill does not cover — prepare that separately.
  • Every question is original, written to the pattern, with a worked solution shown after you submit.
