Important explanations for tricky questions
Q14: Article 370 was part of the original Constitution; the major constitutional changes relating to it occurred in August 2019.
Q22: Article 368 provides the amendment procedure. Only certain categories of amendments require ratification by at least half of the state legislatures.
Q31: Habeas corpus is a remedy against unlawful detention and is not limited exclusively to cases involving private individuals.
Q41: Newton's third-law forces act on different bodies, so they do not cancel each other on one body.
Q48: The oxygen released during photosynthesis primarily comes from water, not carbon dioxide.
Q62: If the initial value is 100, a 20% increase produces 120; reducing 120 by 20% gives 96, a net decrease of 4%.
Q65: Simple interest \(SI=PRT/100\). Therefore, \(P=1200\times100/(8\times3)=₹5,000\).
Q66: Combined work rate is \(1/12+1/18=5/36\) of the job per day. Time required is \(36/5=7.2\) days.
Q69: The prime outcomes on a fair die are 2, 3 and 5, giving probability \(3/6=1/2\).
Q89: HTTPS protects data in transit but does not, by itself, establish that the website's operator is trustworthy.
Q98: Decimal 10 equals binary 1010 because \(8+2=10\).
Preparation strategy for JKPSI candidates
A strong preparation plan should balance factual revision with conceptual practice. For Jammu and Kashmir GK, revise rivers, lakes, historical dynasties, geographical features, important institutions and constitutional developments. For Indian polity, focus on constitutional articles, parliamentary procedures, constitutional bodies, Fundamental Rights and emergency provisions.
In general science, understand the principles behind physics formulas, chemical reactions, biological processes and environmental concepts. In reasoning and mathematics, practise number series, syllogisms, percentages, ratios, averages, time and work, speed and distance, and probability. For English, concentrate on grammar, vocabulary, sentence correction, narration and voice. For computer awareness, revise memory, operating systems, networking, spreadsheets, email and cybersecurity.
Do not ignore negative marking if it applies to your notification. Practise eliminating clearly incorrect options, but avoid blind guessing when the penalty makes it disadvantageous.
Conclusion
These 100 challenging MCQs provide a broad revision exercise for candidates preparing for JKSSB JKPSI recruitment. Use the questions to identify weak areas, revisit the underlying concepts and build accuracy before attempting timed practice papers.
