SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 13 September 2025, Shift 2 · General Intelligence and Reasoning · Question 11 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.

Which of the following is/are identical to the address given: Sunil Kumar 21/4, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, 110052 1. Sunil Kumar 21/4, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, 1100522 2. Sunil Kumar 21/4, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, 110052 3. Sunil Kumar 21/4, Ashok Vihar, New Delhi, 110052 4. Sunil Kumar 21/4, Ashok Vihar, Delhi, 110053

(a)1 Only
(b)3 Only
(c)2 Only
(d)4 Only

Answer

Why

Correct — C.
Rule: check each line against the given address, field by field.

1: PIN 1100522 has a seventh digit.
2: matches in every character.
3: reads New Delhi, not Delhi.
4: PIN ends 110053, not 110052.

Only 2 is identical → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
1 Only — Address 1 ends 1100522, seven digits against the given six. The extra 2 comes after a correct-looking 110052, which is what hides it.
(b)
3 Only — Address 3 reads New Delhi where the given address reads Delhi. The task compares text, so an added word breaks the match.
(d)
4 Only — Address 4 ends 110053. One changed digit in the PIN is enough to break the match.

Concept

Here a reference address is given, and each numbered line is checked against it, not against each other. Compare field by field: name, house number, locality, city, PIN.

The changes are an extra PIN digit (1100522), an added word (New Delhi) and a changed last digit (110053). Address 2 has none of them.

Delhi and New Delhi may sit on the same map, but this task compares the printed text, not geography.

Key facts

An Indian PIN code has six digits, so 1100522 cannot match 110052.
Adding a word such as New to a city name makes the address a different string.
A single changed digit in a PIN breaks the match.

Common traps

Accepting New Delhi as a match for Delhi
