Case based questions are a prevalent format in CBSE Class 10 examinations in India, particularly in disciplines such as Science, Mathematics, and Social Science. These questions are intended to assess your ability to apply your knowledge to real-world settings or situations. They typically include a chapter or scenario followed by a series of questions. Here are some examples of case-based questions you might come across.
Science
Physics: Case based questions will be given in form of a scenario with a real-world situation, like as an object’s motion, and asked to evaluate it or compute related numbers such as speed, acceleration, or force. As for example:
- Scenario: Imagine a scenario where a car accelerates from rest to 60 km/h in 10 seconds. It then travels at a constant speed for 20 minutes.
- Question: Calculate the car’s acceleration during the initial 10 seconds and the distance it travels at a constant speed for 20 minutes.
Chemistry: A case based question may demonstrate a study of chemical reaction or an environmental concern, and you will be asked to discuss the process, its consequences, or alternative remedies. As for example:
- Scenario: A case study might describe the process of rusting in iron and its impact on structures.
- Question: Explain the chemical process of rusting, its consequences, and suggest preventive measures.
Biology: Case based questions in biology may require you to describe or evaluate a description of a biological phenomenon, a health issue, or an ecological condition. As for example:
- Scenario: You might read a passage about the decline of a particular bird species due to habitat loss.
- Question: Analyze the factors contributing to the decline of this bird species and propose conservation measures.

Mathematics
Case based questions based on real-life problem solving. You may be given a scenario in which mathematical ideas must be used. This could include questions with profit and loss, statistics, geometry, or mathematics. As for example:
- Scenario: You might be presented with a situation where a shopkeeper buys and sells items with different profit percentages.
- Question: Calculate the profit percentage on buying and selling a product, and determine the selling price if the cost price and profit percentage are given.

Social Science
History: Case based questions may require you to assess the reasons, repercussions, or importance of a historical event or circumstance.
- Scenario: The case study could discuss the causes and effects of a significant historical event, such as the American Revolution.
- Question: Explain the causes of the American Revolution and the impact it had on the world.
Geography: In case based questions, you may be given a geographical topic, such as climate change or urbanization, and asked to discuss the implications and potential solutions.
- Scenario: You could be presented with a case involving the consequences of climate change on a coastal region.
- Question: Discuss the impact of rising sea levels and extreme weather events on coastal communities and suggest adaptation strategies.
Civics: In case based questions, Civics case studies can feature real-world political or social concerns, and you may be required to describe their ramifications, government policies, or potential citizen activities.
- Scenario: A scenario might describe a local governance issue, like waste management problems in a city.
- Question: Analyze the challenges faced by the local government in managing waste and propose citizen initiatives to address the issue.

Case based questions may differ from year to year. In each of these examples, the case-based questions require you to apply your subject knowledge to a real-life or hypothetical scenario. They test your understanding of concepts, your problem-solving skills, and your ability to provide reasoned, well-explained answers. It’s essential to be thorough in your subject knowledge and practice solving such questions to perform well in CBSE Class 10 examinations.
It is critical to be well-versed in the subject matter and to practice with previous question papers to have a sense of the types of case based questions that are asked. Practice makes one perfect.
