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

Q6722.General ScienceEasy

Pascal's law is the principle behind which of the following devices?

  1. A.Hydraulic brakes
  2. B.Barometer
  3. C.Hydrometer
  4. D.Siphon
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Hydraulic brakes

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the walls of the vessel, so a modest push on the brake pedal creates a pressure in the brake fluid that is passed to the wider pistons at every…

Q6723.General ScienceAsked in: Rajasthan · 4th July 2019Medium

A liquid rises upto a height greater than that for water in given capillary tube. Its reason may be that

  1. A.the liquid is more viscous than water.
  2. B.the temperature of liquid is higher than that of water.
  3. C.the surface tension of water is less than that of liquid.
  4. D.the surface tension of water is more than that of liquid.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. the surface tension of water is less than that of liquid.

In a capillary tube the height of rise is directly proportional to the surface tension of the liquid and inversely proportional to its density and the radius of the tube.

Q6724.General ScienceAsked in: Uttar Pradesh · UPSSSC JE Mechanical 2016 Official PaperHard

A fluid in which resistance to deformation is independent of the shear stress, is known as

  1. A.Bingham plastic fluid
  2. B.Pseudo plastic fluid
  3. C.Dilatants fluid
  4. D.Newtonian fluid
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Newtonian fluid

In such a fluid the shearing stress is directly proportional to the rate of shear, so the coefficient of viscosity, which measures the resistance to deformation, keeps the same value whatever the stress applied; water, air, petrol and thin oils behave in this way.

Q6725.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 19 Sep 2019, Shift 2Hard

Centre of buoyancy is

  1. A.Centre of gravity of the body
  2. B.Centre of mass of displaced fluid
  3. C.Mid point between Centre of gravity and metacentre
  4. D.The point of intersection of buoyant force and centre line of the body
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Centre of mass of displaced fluid

The upthrust on a body is the resultant of the pressure forces of the fluid around it, and that resultant acts through the centre of gravity of the fluid the body has pushed aside, which is why the point is called the centre of buoyancy.

Q6726.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 30 Aug, 2019, Shift 1Medium

What percent of the total volume of an iceberg floats above the water surface? Assume the density of ice to be 920 kg/m3 and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.

  1. A.6
  2. B.8
  3. C.92
  4. D.20
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 8

A floating body displaces its own weight of fluid, so the fraction of its volume that lies below the surface equals the ratio of its density to the density of the fluid, here 920 divided by 1000, which is 0.92.

Q6727.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 16 Oct 2018, Shift 2Medium

On which of the following factors does the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on a body in a given fluid depend?

  1. A.Weight of the body immersed in it
  2. B.Shape of the body immersed in the fluid.
  3. C.Density of the fluid and mass of the body immersed in it
  4. D.Density of the fluid and the volume of the body immersed in it
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Density of the fluid and the volume of the body immersed in it

By Archimedes' principle the upthrust on a body equals the weight of the fluid it displaces, and that weight is the volume of the body actually immersed multiplied by the density of the fluid and by the acceleration due to gravity.

Q6728.NationalEasy

Who is remembered as the founder whose vision shaped Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri National Sanskrit University?

  1. A.Jawaharlal Nehru
  2. B.Lal Bahadur Shastri
  3. C.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
  4. D.Maulana Abul Kalam Azad
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Lal Bahadur Shastri
