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. 1.In a Class I lever, the effort arm is 1.5 m and the load arm is 0.5 m. If an effort of 50 N is applied, what load can be lifted?
    • A.50 N
    • B.100 N
    • C.150 N
    • D.200 N
  2. 2.In the case of a single movable pulley, as shown in the diagram img-2.jpeg, what is the value of the Mechanical Advantage (M.A.)?
    • A.M.A. = 1
    • B.M.A. = 2
    • C.M.A. = 0.5
    • D.M.A. = 4
  3. 3.Which of the following correctly describes a pulley and the mechanical advantage of a single fixed pulley?
    • A.A pulley is a disc with a grooved rim; mechanical advantage is 2.
    • B.A pulley is a disc with a grooved rim; mechanical advantage is 1.
    • C.A pulley is a lever; mechanical advantage is 0.
    • D.A pulley is a wheel without a groove; mechanical advantage is 1.
  4. 4.A pulley system consisting of four pulleys has efficiency as 90%. Calculate the Mechanical advantage of the system.
    • A.36
    • B.0.36
    • C.360
    • D.3.6
  5. 5.Why is the mechanical advantage of a class II type of lever always more than 1?
    • A.The effort arm is always greater than the load arm, making M.A. > 1.
    • B.The load arm is longer than the effort arm, increasing the mechanical advantage.
    • C.The fulcrum is placed closer to the load, reducing the mechanical advantage.
    • D.The effort and load arms are equal, resulting in M.A. = 1.
