SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 16 September 2025, Shift 3 · General Awareness · Question 14 of 75

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 statements accurately identifies the venue and complete schedule of the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2025, classified as a BWF Super 750 badminton tournament?

(a)It was conducted at Thyagaraj Stadium, New Delhi, from January 10 to 15, 2025, as part of the BWF World Tour.
(b)The event took place at the Siri Fort Sports Complex, New Delhi, from January 12 to 17, 2025, under the BWF Super Series framework.
(c)It was hosted at the K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall, IG Stadium, New Delhi, from January 14 to 19, 2025, as part of the BWF Super 750 tier.
(d)It was organized at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, from January 16 to 21, 2025, under the India Badminton Circuit calendar.

Answer

Why

Correct — C. The Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2025 was held at the K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall, IG Stadium, New Delhi, from 14 to 19 January 2025.

It was a Super 750 tournament of the BWF World Tour, the tier the stem itself names. Option (c) is right on venue, dates and tier at once, which is what "complete schedule" demands.

Why the others are wrong

(a)
It was conducted at Thyagaraj Stadium, New Delhi, from January 10 to 15, 2025, as part of the BWF World Tour. — Thyagaraj Stadium and 10 to 15 January are both wrong: the 2025 edition ran 14 to 19 January at the K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall. Only New Delhi and the World Tour label are true, which is what makes this tempting.
(b)
The event took place at the Siri Fort Sports Complex, New Delhi, from January 12 to 17, 2025, under the BWF Super Series framework. — BWF Super Series is out of date: the BWF replaced it with the World Tour from 2018. Siri Fort and 12 to 17 January are wrong as well.
(d)
It was organized at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi, from January 16 to 21, 2025, under the India Badminton Circuit calendar. — Talkatora Indoor Stadium and 16 to 21 January do not match the 2025 edition. A Super 750 event belongs to the BWF World Tour, not to a domestic circuit calendar.

Concept

The BWF World Tour replaced the Super Series in 2018. It grades tournaments in six levels: the World Tour Finals, then Super 1000, 750, 500, 300 and 100.

A higher level carries more prize money and ranking points.

The India Open has been held since 1973 and is organised by the Badminton Association of India under BWF sanction. The 2025 edition was the second tournament of the 2025 World Tour, with prize money of US$950,000.

Each option pairs a real New Delhi venue with a plausible mid-January window, so remembering the city is not enough. The venue, the dates and the tier must all match.

Common traps

Picking the Thyagaraj option because 'part of the BWF World Tour' is true, without checking its venue and dates.
Treating 'Super Series' as a current tier, when the BWF World Tour replaced it from 2018.

The stem hides one current-affairs fact inside four full sentences, so check each option for venue, dates and tier together.

Badminton is also asked at 18 Sep 2025, 12:30, GA Q.5 (singles court width, keyed 5.18 m) and 13 Sep 2024, 16:00, GA Q.5 (the year India hosts the World Championships, keyed 2026).
K.D. Jadhav appears as an option at 15 Sep 2025, 12:30, GA Q.6.
