Exam-specific and shared questions

Of the 683 distinct questions in this set, 56 are written specifically for MPHW and 627 are common general-studies questions (reasoning, aptitude, general knowledge, Punjab GK, language and computer basics). Punjab recruitment papers test these common areas at a similar level, so the same reviewed question is used in every exam set where that topic is on the syllabus, rather than being rewritten with small changes.

Sample MPHW questions with answers

A few questions from this set, with the answer and explanation shown. The full set opens in practice mode.

  1. Q1. Aam Aadmi Clinics in Punjab are associated primarily with:

    • (a) Veterinary care
    • (b) Tertiary cancer surgery
    • (c) Private insurance
    • (d) Primary healthcare services

    Answer: (d) Primary healthcare services. Aam Aadmi Clinics are part of Punjab's primary healthcare delivery network.

  2. Q2. Punjabi Grammar: In Punjabi, verbs must agree with the subject in which two grammatical categories?

    • (a) Gender only
    • (b) Person only
    • (c) Gender and number
    • (d) Number only

    Answer: (c) Gender and number. Punjabi verbs must agree with their subject in both gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural), a key grammatical agreement rule in the language.

  3. Q3. Complete the analogy: Carpenter is to Wood as Blacksmith is to?

    • (a) Forge
    • (b) Metal/Iron
    • (c) Hammer
    • (d) Fire

    Answer: (b) Metal/Iron. Just as a Carpenter primarily works with Wood, a Blacksmith primarily works with Metal/Iron, following the same 'craftsperson-to-primary material' relationship pattern.

  4. Q4. Indoor residual spraying (IRS) targets:

    • (a) Mosquito eggs in rivers
    • (b) Adult mosquitoes resting on walls
    • (c) Rodents
    • (d) Bacteria in food

    Answer: (b) Adult mosquitoes resting on walls. Insecticide on indoor walls kills mosquitoes that rest after feeding.

  5. Q5. The single most effective routine measure for reducing transmission of infection in healthcare is:

    • (a) Hand hygiene
    • (b) No PPE required
    • (c) Isolate every admission
    • (d) Antibiotics for every patient

    Answer: (a) Hand hygiene. Hand hygiene interrupts transmission at the point where organisms are most commonly transferred between patients, surfaces and staff.

  6. Q6. The first stage of labour ends when:

    • (a) The cervix is fully dilated
    • (b) The baby is born
    • (c) The placenta is delivered
    • (d) Contractions begin

    Answer: (a) The cervix is fully dilated. The first stage progresses from onset of true labour to complete cervical dilatation.
