SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 24 September 2025, Shift 2 · General Awareness · Question 14 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.

Who did Maharashtra’s Kavya Bhatta defeat to win gold at the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 in the girls’ singles table tennis final?

(a)P.B. Abhinand
(b)Priyanuj Bhattacharyya
(c)Suhana Saini
(d)M. Hansini

Answer

Why

Correct — D. The girls' singles table tennis final of the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 was played at Rajgir, Bihar, on 10 May 2025.

The Table Tennis Federation of India's result line reads Kavya Bhatt (Mah) bt M. Hansini 4-1. Hansini, of Tamil Nadu, took silver → option (d).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
P.B. Abhinand — P.B. Abhinand of Tamil Nadu played the boys' singles final and lost it 4-1 to Priyanuj Bhattacharyya. He was never Kavya's opponent.
(b)
Priyanuj Bhattacharyya — Priyanuj Bhattacharyya of Assam won the boys' singles gold at these Games by beating Abhinand. A girls' final could not have him across the table.
(c)
Suhana Saini — Suhana Saini did not play this final. The federation's result pairs Kavya Bhatt with M. Hansini of Tamil Nadu.

Concept

The Khelo India Youth Games are India's national multi-sport games for young athletes. The 7th edition was held in Bihar from 4 to 15 May 2025, the first time the state hosted it, across Patna, Rajgir, Gaya, Bhagalpur and Begusarai.

Maharashtra topped the medal table for the third edition running, with 158 medals including 58 golds.

The federation's report spells her name both Bhatta and Bhatt.
