SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 23 September 2025, Shift 3 · General Awareness · Question 13 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 Katakkar Trophy's All India Inter-Club Winter Water Polo League (2024–25) held?

(a)Shivaji Park Swimming Complex, Mumbai
(b)Tilak Tank, Deccan Gymkhana, Pune
(c)Balewadi Sports Complex, Pune
(d)Shiv Nadar Aquatics Centre, Hyderabad

Answer

Why

Correct — B. The Katakkar Trophy All India Inter-Club Winter Water Polo League for 2024–25 was held at Tilak Tank, Deccan Gymkhana, in Pune → option (b).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
Shivaji Park Swimming Complex, Mumbai — Wrong city. This option puts the league in Mumbai, but the 2024–25 edition was played in Pune, at Tilak Tank.
(c)
Balewadi Sports Complex, Pune — Right city, wrong venue. Balewadi's sports complex is also in Pune, but this league was played at Tilak Tank, Deccan Gymkhana.
(d)
Shiv Nadar Aquatics Centre, Hyderabad — Wrong city. The league was played in Pune, not Hyderabad.

Concept

A venue question tests one fact: where the event took place. Two of the four options here are in Pune, so knowing the host city only halves the choice.

The keyed venue is Tilak Tank in Pune's Deccan Gymkhana, not the sports complex at Balewadi.

Common traps

Settling for Balewadi once you know the league was in Pune. Two options are in Pune, and the key is Tilak Tank.
