SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 12 September 2025, Shift 2 · General Awareness · Question 8 of 100

We transcribed this text from the pictures on a candidate's response sheet for this shift; the answer is the key SSC colour-marked on that sheet. Solution last reviewed 13 September 2026.

Where this paper and its answers come from

SSC does not publish CGL question papers or a public answer key. From 2025 the candidate response sheet prints every question and option as a picture, so the text here is transcribed from those pictures for this shift and checked against them independently; where the layout carries meaning, the picture is shown as well. Each answer is the key SSC colour-marked on that sheet. SSC released a tentative key for challenge and later its final one, both only to candidates behind a login, and the sheet does not say which of the two it carries. The solutions are written by UnlockIAS.

Fill in the blank: Under the SLKIC vertical of Khelo India, ____ Kendriya Vidyalayas have been adopted in partnership with KVS.

(a)3
(b)4
(c)5
(d)6

Answer

Why

Correct — B. The blank takes four: under the SLKIC vertical of Khelo India, four Kendriya Vidyalayas have been adopted in partnership with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS).

The number is the whole question here, and the key marks 4 → option (b).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
3 — Three is one short. The SLKIC tie-up with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan covers four schools.
(c)
5 — Five overshoots by one. Four Kendriya Vidyalayas, not five, have been adopted under the SLKIC vertical.
(d)
6 — Six is two too many. The adopted count under the SLKIC-KVS partnership is four.

Concept

Khelo India describes itself as India's flagship national scheme for sports development at grassroots. It is run by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and delivered through several verticals, each with its own target group.

This item names one of them, SLKIC, and asks for a single number out of its fine print: how many Kendriya Vidyalayas have been adopted under it, in partnership with the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, the body that runs those schools.

A scheme count like this is a snapshot, and four is the figure this paper keys.

The paper prints SLKIC without expanding it, and so does this card. Take the vertical by the name the question gives it, and carry away the number.

Common traps

Carrying a number from another Khelo India vertical into this blank: the four counts adopted schools, nothing else.
Guessing what the acronym SLKIC stands for and answering from the guess. The paper does not expand it, and what the item wants is a number.

Here a scheme is tested on one number from its fine print. Khelo India also appears at 18 Sep 2025, 12:30, GA Q.12, on the Khelo India Youth Games 2023 (keyed 13 days across 15 venues).
