SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 17 September 2025, Shift 1 · General Awareness · 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.

Where was the 4th KIO National (Senior, U-21 & Para) Karate Championship held from 26–29 March 2025?

(a)Delhi
(b)Ahmedabad
(c)Hyderabad
(d)Bengaluru

Answer

Why

Correct — C. The 4th KIO National Karate Championship of March 2025 was held at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad, Telangana.

It covered Senior, U-21 and Para categories, as the question says, and was organised by the Telangana Sports Karate Do Association under the Karate India Organisation (KIO): option (c).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
Delhi — Delhi did not host it. Reports of the championship place it at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, with the Telangana karate association as organiser.
(b)
Ahmedabad — Ahmedabad is not the venue. The event was staged in Telangana, at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad.
(d)
Bengaluru — Bengaluru is the nearby wrong guess. The host city was Hyderabad, and the host body the Telangana Sports Karate Do Association.

Concept

The Karate India Organisation (KIO) gives its name to this national championship. Its 4th edition brought Senior, U-21 and Para karatekas to Gachibowli in March 2025.

Karate is contested in two disciplines: kata, a solo form judged on technique, and kumite, sparring against an opponent.

Common traps

Guessing Delhi because the event is national: this edition was hosted in Telangana.

Here a 2025 championship is asked by its venue. A 2025 sports venue is also asked at 15 Sep 2025, 16:00, GA Q.7 (the Asian Athletics Championships in Gumi, South Korea).
