Static GK fills most of Part-B of the SSC GD Computer Based Examination. The GD 2026 notice lists the areas as History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity, Indian Constitution, Scientific Research and Sports, relating to India and its neighbouring countries, and says the questions need no special study of any discipline. That is the key to preparing it: the questions are of Matriculation level and ask for the fact, not the analysis. Polity asks which Article deals with a right, how many Schedules the Constitution has, who appoints a Governor, or the tenure of the Rajya Sabha. History asks about the Mauryas, the Guptas, the Mughals, the 1857 revolt, the Congress sessions and the movements of Gandhi. Geography asks about rivers and their tributaries, States and their capitals, national parks, soils, passes and the countries on India's borders. The Economy part asks about the Budget, the RBI, taxes and schemes; Science asks about vitamins, units, gases, the human body and everyday physics; Sports asks about trophies, venues and players. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for SSC GD, written in short facts and tables in Hindi and English so a topic can be revised in one sitting. Read a note, then solve the previous-year questions and the quiz on that topic on this site to see what stayed.
Which of the following is NOT an inner planet of our solar system?
The four inner or terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Jupiter lies beyond the asteroid belt and is the first of the outer planets.
Read the full explanation →In which year was the Harappan civilization first discovered?
Harappa in Punjab was excavated in 1921 by Daya Ram Sahni of the Archaeological Survey of India, and that dig brought the civilisation to light.
Read the full explanation →Which of the following shows the strongest force of attraction between particles?
An iron rod is a solid, and the force of attraction between particles is strongest in the solid state. In a solid the particles sit close together in fixed positions and can only vibrate, so a solid keeps its shape, has a definite volume and can hardly be compressed.
Read the full explanation →A 40 kg girl runs up a flight of stairs having a rise of 5 m in 4 s. The power developed by her will be ________. (take g = 10 m/s²)
The work done against gravity is mgh = 40 × 10 × 5 = 2000 joule, and power is work divided by time, so 2000 ÷ 4 = 500 watt.
Read the full explanation →Which of the following activities best demonstrates that there is a force of attraction between particles of matter?
Force has to be applied to break the chalk because its particles hold one another together, and that pull is the force of attraction between particles.
Read the full explanation →An object travels northwards with a constant velocity. The net force acting on the object will be
Constant velocity means no acceleration, and by Newton's second law force equals mass into acceleration, so the net force must be zero.
Read the full explanation →A force increases the speed of a 1.0 kg object from 4 m/s to 8 m/s. The work done by the force will be ______.
By the work-energy theorem the work done equals the change in kinetic energy, which is half of 1.0 into 8 squared minus 4 squared, that is 0.5 × (64 - 16) = 24 joule.
Read the full explanation →Which of the following is combined to form Solder?
Solder is an alloy of lead and tin, usually in nearly equal parts. An alloy is a mixture of a metal with one or more other elements, made to gain a property the pure metal lacks.
Read the full explanation →The fertilised egg, the zygote, gets implanted in the ________.
The zygote divides as it travels down the fallopian tube and the resulting ball of cells gets implanted in the thick lining of the uterus.
Read the full explanation →5.5 kwh = ?
One kilowatt hour is 3.6 × 10⁶ joule, so 5.5 kWh = 5.5 × 3.6 × 10⁶ = 19.8 × 10⁶ joule.
Read the full explanation →How much work is done in moving a charge of 2 coulomb across two points having a potential difference of 5V?
Potential difference is defined as the work done for each unit of charge carried between two points, so V = W/Q and therefore W = QV.
Read the full explanation →What is the potential difference?
Potential difference between two points of a circuit is the difference in electric potential between them, and it equals the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other.
Read the full explanation →Mechanical energy is equal to:
The mechanical energy of a body is the sum of the energy of its motion and the energy of its position.
Read the full explanation →While releasing the arrow from a stretched bow, the Potential Energy of the bow is converted into?
A stretched bow stores elastic potential energy, and when the string is released that store becomes the kinetic energy of the flying arrow.
Read the full explanation →A boy raises a box with a weight of 120 N from a height of 2 m. The work done by him is ________.
Work done against gravity is weight multiplied by height, so 120 × 2 = 240 joules.
Read the full explanation →What is the principle on which brakes work?
Brakes work on friction: a lining is pressed against a moving drum or disc, and the rubbing force slows the wheel down.
Read the full explanation →An object with a mass of 22 kg moving with a velocity of 5 m/s possesses kinetic energy of:
Kinetic energy is half m v squared, so half of 22 multiplied by 5 multiplied by 5 gives 275 joules.
Read the full explanation →What is meant by ABS?
ABS stands for anti-lock braking system, a safety device that keeps the wheels from locking during hard braking.
Read the full explanation →What is the physical state of water at 12°C?
At normal atmospheric pressure water stays liquid between 0 °C and 100 °C, and 12 °C lies inside that range.
Read the full explanation →The essential organs in a flower for reproduction are:
The stamen and the pistil make the male and female gametes, so they are the essential or reproductive organs of a flower.
