SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 17 September 2025, Shift 2 · General Awareness · Question 13 of 99

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.

With reference to the All India Inter-Club U21 Men & Women Water Polo League – 2025, which of the following statements are accurate? 1. The tournament was hosted at Mayo College in Ajmer, Rajasthan. 2. It was organized under the aegis of the Western Naval Command. 3. The event took place from 14 to 18 April 2025.

(a)1 and 2 only
(b)2 and 3 only
(c)1 and 3 only
(d)1, 2 and 3

Answer

Why

Correct — C. Check each statement against the Swimming Federation of India circular for the league.

Statement 1 is accurate. The circular names the venue as Mayo College, Ajmer.

Statement 2 fails. The circular's organising committee comes from Mayo College and the Rajasthan Swimming Association, with the SFI office. No naval command appears.

Statement 3 is accurate. The circular gives the dates as 14–18 April 2025. Statements 1 and 3 → option (c).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
1 and 2 only — It includes statement 2, but the SFI circular's organisers are Mayo College, the Rajasthan Swimming Association and SFI, with no Western Naval Command. It also drops the correct dates.
(b)
2 and 3 only — It includes the naval command statement and drops statement 1, yet the SFI circular gives the venue as Mayo College, Ajmer.
(d)
1, 2 and 3 — It needs statement 2 as well, and the SFI circular's organising committee comes from Mayo College and the Rajasthan Swimming Association, not the Navy.

Concept

The All India Inter-Club Under 21 Men & Women Waterpolo League 2025 was a Swimming Federation of India event at Mayo College, Ajmer, Rajasthan, from 14 to 18 April 2025.

The circular set teams of 13 players, aged 20 and under, in a league-cum-knockout format, and said SFI would scout young players there for its national team camps.

The circular's final page carries a header reading 14–18 March 2025, but its main page and entry form both give 14–18 April 2025, the dates statement 3 prints.

Common traps

Accepting the naval-command statement because navies do host water polo. This league was run by SFI with Mayo College and the Rajasthan association.

Here a sports event is tested through statements on venue, organiser and dates. Water polo also appears at 19 Sep 2025, 09:00, GA Q.12 (the 73rd Inter Services championship, hosted by Eastern Naval Command) and at 23 Sep 2025, 16:00, GA Q.13 (the Katakkar Trophy league at Tilak Tank, Pune).
