KTET 2025 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 17 PYQ-pattern questions in this set — freshly worded in that year's pattern, not the original questions. Answers and solutions open under each question.

1. Q1 · Intelligence and Creativity

   A 12-year-old child has a mental age of 15 years. What is the child's Intelligence Quotient (IQ)?

   • A. 80
   • B. 100
   • C. 125
   • D. 150
   Answer and solution

   Answer: C

   IQ is calculated as (Mental Age/Chronological Age) × 100. Here, (15/12) × 100 = 125.

2. Q2 · Child Development

   A child progresses from babbling to speaking single words and then to forming sentences. This progression illustrates which principle of development?

   • A. Development is continuous and sequential
   • B. Development is uniform for all children
   • C. Development is independent of environment
   • D. Development occurs in isolation
   Answer and solution

   Answer: A

   Language development follows a continuous and sequential pattern, moving from simple sounds to complex sentence structures in a predictable order.

3. Q3 · Pedagogy of Language I

   According to Vygotsky's theory, which of the following best describes the 'Zone of Proximal Development'? A. The range of tasks a child can perform independently B. The difference between what a learner can do without help and what they can do with guidance C. The innate language acquisition mechanism in children D. The stage where language and thought become separate

   • A. The range of tasks a child can perform independently
   • B. The difference between what a learner can do without help and what they can do with guidance
   • C. The innate language acquisition mechanism in children
   • D. The stage where language and thought become separate
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development refers to the gap between a learner's independent capability and what they can achieve with scaffolding or support from a more knowledgeable person.

4. Q4 · Fractions and Decimals

   A teacher divides a chocolate bar into 12 equal parts. She gives 3/4 of it to students and keeps the rest. How many parts does she keep?

   • A. 2 parts
   • B. 3 parts
   • C. 4 parts
   • D. 6 parts
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   3/4 of 12 = 9 parts given to students. Remaining parts = 12 - 9 = 3 parts.

5. Q5 · Data Handling

   The marks obtained by 5 students in a test are: 18, 22, 15, 20, and 25. What is the average mark?

   • A. 18
   • B. 20
   • C. 22
   • D. 24
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   Average = Sum of marks ÷ Number of students = (18 + 22 + 15 + 20 + 25) ÷ 5 = 100 ÷ 5 = 20.

6. Q6 · Agriculture

   Which irrigation method delivers water directly to the base of plants using narrow tubing and is most water-efficient?

   • A. Flood irrigation
   • B. Sprinkler irrigation
   • C. Drip irrigation
   • D. Furrow irrigation
   Answer and solution

   Answer: C

   Drip irrigation uses narrow tubes to deliver water directly at the plant base, minimizing water waste and making it the most water-efficient method.

7. Q7 · Plants

   Seeds require air, water and which of the following to grow into a plant?

   • A. Darkness
   • B. Sunlight
   • C. Ice
   • D. Sand
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   Seeds need air, water, and sunlight (or warmth) to germinate and grow into healthy plants. Sunlight provides energy for photosynthesis.

8. Q8 · Algebra

   If 3x + 7 = 22, then the value of 2x - 5 is:

   • A. 3
   • B. 5
   • C. 7
   • D. 10
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   3x + 7 = 22 gives 3x = 15, so x = 5. Then 2x - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5.

9. Q9 · Pedagogy of Math and Science

   Which of the following is an example of a constructivist approach to teaching science?

   • A. Teacher demonstrates an experiment and students copy the procedure
   • B. Students design their own experiments to test a hypothesis
   • C. Teacher provides detailed notes and students memorize them
   • D. Students watch a video on scientific concepts
   Answer and solution

   Answer: B

   In constructivist learning, students actively construct knowledge through hands-on activities and inquiry. Designing their own experiments allows students to explore, discover, and build understanding independently.

10. Q10 · Pedagogy of Social Science

    Which of the following is the most effective method for teaching historical chronology to students?

    • A. Making students memorize dates
    • B. Using timelines and visual representations
    • C. Reading textbook chapters aloud
    • D. Conducting written tests frequently
    Answer and solution

    Answer: B

    Using timelines and visual representations helps students understand the sequence of historical events better and makes chronology more comprehensible and memorable than mere memorization.
