SSC CHSL GK Questions 2026

Static GK decides the General Awareness score in SSC CHSL. Of the 25 questions in Tier-I and the 20 in Tier-II, most come from Indian Polity, History, Geography, the Economy and General Science, the areas the CHSL 2026 notice lists as History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Policy and Scientific Research relating to India and its neighbouring countries. The level is that of Class 12, so the questions are direct: which article, which river, which ruler, which year. Polity asks about parts and schedules of the Constitution, fundamental rights, the President, Parliament, the Supreme Court and constitutional bodies. History covers the Indus Valley, the Mauryas and Guptas, the Sultanate and Mughal periods, 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 with everyday applications, and Culture covers dances, festivals, monuments and books. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for SSC CHSL, 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.

SSC CHSL GK Questions with Answers

Q3221.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATMedium

Squamous epithelial cells are found in the inner lining of

  1. A.Oesophagus.
  2. B.Small intestine.
  3. C.Ducts of salivary gland.
  4. D.Kidney.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Oesophagus.

The oesophagus, like the mouth, is lined by flat squamous epithelium that protects it from wear as food passes. Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces and lines organs, and its cells are named by shape.

Q3222.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2022, GATMedium

Which one of the following statements about 'vacuoles' is not correct?

  1. A.In plants, there is a large central vacuole that may occupy 90% of total cell volume.
  2. B.In plant cells, vacuoles provide turgidity and rigidity.
  3. C.In Amoeba, vacuoles have role in nutrition.
  4. D.Vacuoles are absent in animal cells.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Vacuoles are absent in animal cells.

Animal cells do have vacuoles; they are only small and often temporary, so the statement is wrong. A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac filled with cell sap: water, salts, sugars and waste.

Q3225.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2025, GATEasy

Which one of the following particles in the nucleus of an atom was discovered by J. Chadwick?

  1. A.Electron
  2. B.Proton
  3. C.Positron
  4. D.Neutron
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Neutron

James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932, the uncharged particle that sits in the nucleus alongside the proton. Chadwick bombarded beryllium with alpha particles and found that it gave off a penetrating radiation of neutral particles with a mass almost equal to that of a proton.

Q3226.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATEasy

Which one of the following radiations has longer wavelength?

  1. A.X-rays
  2. B.Ultraviolet
  3. C.Micro Wave
  4. D.Infra-red
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Micro Wave

Among the four, microwaves lie farthest towards the long-wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum. In order of increasing wavelength the spectrum runs: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves and radio waves.

Q3228.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2026, GATHard

Consider three wires X, Y and Z of the same length such that the ratio of their conductivities is 1 : 2 : 3. Further, the cross-sectional area of wire Z is twice that of Y and the resistance of X is equal to the resistance of Z. What is the ratio of the resistance of Y to that of X?

  1. A.1 : 1
  2. B.3 : 1
  3. C.2 : 1
  4. D.1 : 2
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 3 : 1

Using R = L/(σA) with equal lengths, the resistance of Y comes out three times that of X. Resistance falls as conductivity σ and cross-sectional area A rise.
