SSC CGL GK Questions 2026

Static GK decides the General Awareness score in SSC CGL. Of the 25 questions in Tier-I and the 25 in Tier-II Paper-I, most come from Indian Polity, History, Geography, the Economy and General Science, the areas the CGL 2026 notice lists as History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Policy and Scientific Research relating to India and its neighbouring countries. Polity questions ask about articles, parts and schedules of the Constitution, amendments, the President, Parliament, the Supreme Court and constitutional bodies. History covers the Indus Valley, the Mauryas and Guptas, the Delhi Sultanate and Mughals, and the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947. Geography asks about rivers, soils, climate, national parks, minerals and world physical features. The Economy part asks about budget terms, the RBI, banking and basic concepts. General Science is school-level Physics, Chemistry and Biology. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for SSC CGL, written as short facts and tables so a topic can be revised in one sitting. Read a topic, then solve its previous-year questions and quiz on this site to check what you retained.

Which of the following satellites was built jointly by ISRO and the French space agency CNES?

  1. A.Megha-Tropiques
  2. B.Oceansat-3
  3. C.RISAT-2B
  4. D.EMISAT
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Megha-Tropiques

It is named, along with SARAL, as a satellite jointly built by ISRO and CNES, and both were cited as milestones of a partnership that goes back to sounding rocket experiments of the 1960s. Oceansat-3 is wrong because it is an Indian ocean observation satellite of the Oceansat series and…

Which of the following statements is correct about suspension?

  1. A.A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.
  2. B.Solids dispersed in gas are called suspensions.
  3. C.Particles of a suspension are invisible to the naked eye.
  4. D.A suspension is a homogeneous mixture.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture.

In a suspension the particles of the solute are large enough to be seen and do not dissolve; they stay spread through the liquid only while it is stirred and settle to the bottom when it is left standing.

Q15952.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 9 Aug 2018, Shift 2Medium

Elements A, B and C occur as Dobereiner's triads. If the atomic mass of A is 40 and that of C is 137, what will be the atomic mass of B?

  1. A.35
  2. B.120
  3. C.88
  4. D.74
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 88

Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner, a German chemist, grouped elements of similar properties in sets of three that he called triads. His rule was that the atomic mass of the middle element is about the average of the other two.

Which of the following is NOT the combined form of Carbon?

  1. A.Chalk
  2. B.Marble
  3. C.Diamond
  4. D.Dolomite
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Diamond

Carbon occurs in nature in two ways, free and combined. In the free state the element stands alone, as in diamond, graphite and coal; diamond is pure carbon whose atoms are each joined to four others in a rigid three dimensional network, which is why it is the hardest natural…

Which of the following statements is NOT true of Meiosis?

  1. A.As a consequence of Meiosis, the number of chromosomes is doubled in the resulting cells.
  2. B.Meiosis takes place in gonads for production of gametes.
  3. C.Meiosis takes place in two phases.
  4. D.During Meiosis, the genes of the parent cells are mixed in the resulting cells.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. As a consequence of Meiosis, the number of chromosomes is doubled in the resulting cells.

It is a reduction division: one parent cell with the full, diploid set gives four cells with half the number of chromosomes, the haploid set.

When 1 litre of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, its volume _____.

  1. A.first decreases and then increases
  2. B.remains the same
  3. C.increases
  4. D.decreases
Show answer
Correct answer: C. increases

Water behaves unlike most liquids between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius, a behaviour called the anomalous expansion of water. Almost every substance shrinks as it is cooled, but water shrinks only until it reaches 4 degrees Celsius.

Q15958.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 17 Aug 2018, Shift 3Easy

Metals can be given different shapes according to our needs because they possess the properties of:

  1. A.Ductility and conductivity
  2. B.Malleability and sonorosity
  3. C.Conductivity and sonorosity
  4. D.Malleability and ductility
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Malleability and ductility

Malleability is the property by which a metal can be beaten into thin sheets without breaking, which is how aluminium foil and the sheets used in car bodies are made.
