About UP Police Constable Numerical & Mental Ability previous year questions
This page collects every Numerical & Mental Ability question that has appeared in past UP Police Constable papers on AajExam — 80 questions in total, organised into 8 short, timed practice sets. Each question is shown with its four options, the correct answer, and an explanation of the reasoning, so you can use the page either as a self-test or as a revision reference.
Why previous year questions are the highest-value Numerical & Mental Ability preparation you can do for UP Police Constable: recruitment boards reuse a stable pool of concepts across cycles. The wording changes, the underlying idea rarely does. Working through a few hundred genuine past Numerical & Mental Ability questions teaches you which sub-topics the paper actually rewards, how the examiner likes to frame distractors, and roughly how long each question type should take — none of which a syllabus document can tell you.
How to use this page: attempt questions in blocks of ten without looking at the answers, then review every question you got wrong or guessed. Read the explanation for the concept, not just the answer letter. When a concept keeps catching you out, open the related topic page linked below and drill that single area before returning here. Repeat across the full bank, and track how your accuracy on the second pass compares with your first — a 15-20% improvement is normal and is the clearest sign your preparation is working.
What is in this bank: the questions are transcribed from actual UP Police Constable question papers, kept in the original order and wording, with solutions written by subject specialists. Sets are free to attempt, work on mobile, and need no login to read. If you would rather practise a complete paper end to end under exam conditions, the full UP Police Constable previous-year papers are linked below as well.
