West Bengal Police Constable | Written Examination

West Bengal Police Constable: 16-question practice mock

A compact WBPRB Constable practice mock: 16 original questions in the official 25:10:25:25 section ratio (GA, English, Maths, Reasoning), each with a worked solution. 0.25 negative marking applies. English-only — does not replace Bengali/Nepali preparation.

Before you start

16 questions in 16 minutes on a single clock — a short drill, not the full 85-question paper.
Each question carries 1 mark and 0.25 marks are deducted for a wrong answer, as in the WBPRB written test.
Questions follow the official section split: GA/GK 5, English 2, Elementary Maths 5, Reasoning 4.
Every question is original, written to the pattern, with a worked solution shown after you submit.
The real paper is in Bengali and Nepali; this English drill covers the same topics but does not replace state-language preparation.

100
120Correct
140
160

25% of 480 = (25/100) × 480 = 0.25 × 480 = 120. A quick check: one quarter of 480 is 120.

General Intelligence & Reasoning · solved example

Find the next term: 5, 10, 20, 40, ?

60
70
80Correct
90

Solution

Each term doubles the previous one: 5 × 2 = 10, 10 × 2 = 20, 20 × 2 = 40, so the next term is 40 × 2 = 80. This is a simple geometric progression with ratio 2.

General Awareness · solved example

74th Amendment

Solution

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, added Part IX and Schedule XI, giving constitutional backing to Panchayati Raj in rural areas. The 74th Amendment did the same for urban local bodies (municipalities), not village panchayats.

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.
