SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 17 September 2025, Shift 3 · General Awareness · Question 12 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 11 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 regarding the 56th National Kho Kho Championship 2023–24 is/are correct? 1.) Maharashtra won both the men’s and women’s titles, becoming overall champions. 2.) The championship matches were held at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium and Karnail Singh Stadium.

(a)Only 1 is correct
(b)Only 2 is correct
(c)Both 1 and 2 are correct
(d)Neither 1 nor 2 is correct

Answer

Why

Correct — C. Statement 1 holds: at the 56th National Kho Kho Championship, Maharashtra won the men's final against Railways and the women's final against the Airports Authority of India.

Statement 2 holds: the Kho Kho Federation of India reports that the championship was held at Delhi's Karnail Singh Stadium and the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. Both are correct: option (c).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
Only 1 is correct — Statement 2 is also true. The federation names both venues: Karnail Singh Stadium and the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
(b)
Only 2 is correct — Statement 1 is also true. Maharashtra won both titles, beating Railways 52–50 in the men's final and the Airports Authority of India 18–16 in the women's.
(d)
Neither 1 nor 2 is correct — Both statements match the reports. Maharashtra took both titles, and the matches were played at the two Delhi venues the stem names.

Concept

The National Kho Kho Championship is India's top domestic kho kho competition, organised every year by the Kho Kho Federation of India.

The 56th edition, labelled 2023–24, ran in New Delhi from 27 March to 1 April 2024. The men's final was tied 32–32 after two innings, and Maharashtra won the extended game 52–50.

The event's name carries a season, not a calendar year: the 2023–24 championship was played in March and April 2024.

Common traps

Rejecting statement 2 because one venue sounds unfamiliar: the federation names both stadiums.
Reading 2023–24 as a 2023 event: the championship was played in March and April 2024.

Here a domestic championship is tested through two statements, one on winners and one on venues. Kho-kho's Olympic exhibition is asked at 9 Sep 2024, 16:00, GA Q.21 (keyed 1936).
