It is recorded as a regular verb in this table. Its V2 form is solved, not solveed — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it easy.
V2 stands alone in the past simple — Solved at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.
It means हल करना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
