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.

Q331.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2020, GATMedium

Which one of the following statements about sound is NOT correct?

  1. A.Sound travels at a speed slower than the speed of light
  2. B.Sound waves are transverse waves
  3. C.Sound waves are longitudinal waves
  4. D.Sound travels faster in moist air than in dry air
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Sound waves are transverse waves

This statement is false, because sound in air travels as longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth along the direction in which the wave moves, forming compressions and rarefactions.

Q332.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATEasy

Power of a lens of focal length 25 cm is

  1. A.+2.5 Dioptre
  2. B.+3 Dioptre
  3. C.+4 Dioptre
  4. D.+5 Dioptre
Show answer
Correct answer: C. +4 Dioptre

Power is the reciprocal of the focal length in metres, so P = 1 ÷ 0.25 m = +4 D. The power of a lens tells how strongly it converges or diverges light.

Q334.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2025, GATHard

Two conducting wires of the same material and of equal lengths and equal diameters are first connected in parallel and then in series in a circuit across the same potential difference. The ratio of heat produced in parallel and series combinations is

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

With the same voltage, heat varies inversely as resistance, and the parallel resistance is one-fourth of the series resistance. The two wires are identical, so each has the same resistance R. In series the total resistance is R + R = 2R; in parallel it is R/2.

Q336.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATMedium

Cornea in human eye

  1. A.is a light sensitive screen.
  2. B.is a muscular diaphragm.
  3. C.contains blood vessels.
  4. D.is composed of proteins and cells.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. is composed of proteins and cells.

The cornea is a clear layer made of cells and proteins, chiefly collagen fibres laid out in a regular pattern that keeps it transparent.

Q339.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATMedium

The optimum pH at which the enzymes pepsin and trypsin of the human alimentary canal works are

  1. A.pH 2.0 and 7.9, respectively
  2. B.pH 4.5 and 3.5, respectively
  3. C.pH 9.5 and 4.5, respectively
  4. D.pH 7.0 and 8.0, respectively
Show answer
Correct answer: A. pH 2.0 and 7.9, respectively

Pepsin works in the strongly acidic stomach, while trypsin works in the mildly alkaline small intestine. Pepsin is secreted by the chief cells of the stomach as inactive pepsinogen, which hydrochloric acid from the parietal cells turns into pepsin.
