Annual examination of 10th standard is an important stage in a student life. We have to prepare
students mentally and intellectually from the very beginning of the academic year to face this exam. In this
background, we have analyzed the previous years question papers of Annual and supplementary
examinations and made a small attempt to collect the questions asked in each chapter and arranded
chapterwise in this “Savi Diksoochi”.
It is helpful to know the same answer for different questions and also know that the various styles of
asking questions. That means the style of asking questions is different but the answer is same.
This “Savi Diksoochi” include the following questions of different question papers. (8+8=16 QPs)
Annual Examinations - 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
Supplementary Examinations – 2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022
Here, from April-2015 to June-2022, The questions that require same answer have been arranged
concept-wise but not arranged year-wise. Also, the questions have been arranged in a respective manner of
the concepts in each chapter.
