ICSE Class 10 Machines — Mock Test (2027)
Free online mock test for Machines (ICSE Class 10 Physics) — 20 competency-based questions based on the latest CISCE 2027 syllabus, with instant marking. Try the samples below, then take the full test free.
What to expect: This mock test covers key concepts from the Machines chapter — including application-based and competency-focused questions aligned with how ICSE actually sets the paper.
Tip: Attempt without notes first to identify gaps, then review explanations for any wrong answers. Retake after a few days for best retention.
Sample questions
-
1.Efficiency is defined as
- A.Mechanical advantage + velocity ratio
- B.Mechanical advantage - velocity ratio
- C.Mechanical advantage / velocity ratio
- D.Mechanical advantage × velocity ratio.
-
2.The actual mechanical advantage of a single movable pulley is :
- A.two
- B.less than 2, but more than 1
- C.one
- D.none of these
-
3.Assertion (A): In a second-class lever, the load is located between the fulcrum and the effort. Reason (R): Second-class levers always provide a mechanical advantage greater than 1. (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true, but R is false. (d) A is false, but R is true.
- A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
- B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- C.A is true, but R is false.
- D.A is false, but R is true.
-
4.In operating a water pump, a resistance of $480\mathrm{N}$ is overcome by an effort of $72\mathrm{N}$. If the distance of the fulcrum from the point where the resistance act is $0.2\mathrm{m}$. Find the distance from the fulcrum where effort is applied.
- A.$1.5\mathrm{m}$
- B.$2.58\mathrm{m}$
- C.$0.8\mathrm{m}$
- D.$1.33\mathrm{m}$
-
5.For a single movable pulley (refer to diagram:
), what are its mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, and efficiency in an ideal system?- A.M.A. = 1, V.R. = 1, Efficiency = 100%
- B.M.A. = 2, V.R. = 2, Efficiency = 100%
- C.M.A. = 2, V.R. = 1, Efficiency = 50%
- D.M.A. = 1, V.R. = 2, Efficiency = 50%
