SSC CGL Undated PYQs

Question 1

Accepted Answer

Figure-based question. Compare the transformation rule in the prompt to each option figure.

Question 2

Four words have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is
different. Select the word that is different.

Accepted Answer

The words 'Taunt', 'Snub', and 'Abuse' all convey a negative action or expression towards someone, implying disrespect or hostility. 'Regard', however, means to consider or look upon with respect or admiration, making it the odd one out.

Question 3

Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is
different. Select the number-pair that is different.

Accepted Answer

The pattern for the first three pairs is n : (n*5 - 6). For 8:34, 8*5-6 = 34. For 5:24, 5*5-6 = 19, not 24. For 6:26, 6*5-6 = 24, not 26. For 7:30, 7*5-6 = 29, not 30. Let's re-evaluate. The pattern is n : (n*4 + 2). For 8:34, 8*4+2 = 34. For 5:24, 5*4+2 = 22, not 24. For 6:26, 6*4+2 = 26. For 7:30, 7*4+2 = 30. So, 5:24 is the different one.

Question 4

Study the given pattern carefully and select the number that can replace the question mark
(?) in it.
23 32 16
3 4 5
72 132 ?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 1. 85

Question 5

Select the correct combination of mathematical signs that can sequentially replace the *
signs and balance the equation.
512 * 32 * 9 * 100 * 6 * 25 * 2

Accepted Answer

Substitute the signs from option 3 into the equation: 512 ÷ 32 × 9 - 100 + 6 = 25 × 2. Following the order of operations (BODMAS), 16 × 9 - 100 + 6 = 50, which simplifies to 144 - 100 + 6 = 50, and finally 44 + 6 = 50, so 50 = 50. This balances the equation.

Question 18

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select
the part that contains the error from the given options.
Mithila art tradition is passed on / from one generation through a next / by children
watching and helping / their mothers and grandmothers.

Accepted Answer

The error lies in the phrase 'through a next'. The correct idiom for succession is 'from one generation to the next' or 'from one generation to another'. 'Through' implies movement through something, not transition between two points in a sequence.

Question 19

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no
improvement is needed, select 'No improvement'.
The prisoners are kept at constant surveillance.

Accepted Answer

The correct preposition to use with 'surveillance' is 'under'. 'Under surveillance' is a common idiom meaning to be closely watched. Therefore, 'kept under' is the appropriate phrase.
