Discrepancies in the General Knowledge Paper of Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) 2017 held on 02-01-2018.
1.URL stands for ……? This question was confusing because both correct options i.e. Universal Resource Locator and Uniform Resource Locator were given there. Both of them are correct according to the leading dictionaries:
Oxford:
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionari...on/english/url
Webster:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/URL
2.Which country has Lira currency? None of the given options was correct. Because Italy has been using Euro currency for 16 years, it had abandoned Lira in 2002. The correct answers (i.e.Turkey or Malta) were not given in the options.

3.Where is Mount Adam? This question was also ambiguous because four mountain peaks with the name of “Mount Adams”, not “Mount Adam” are in USA and one peak is in New Zealand. While “Adam’s Peak” or “Mount Adam” is in Sri Lanka.

4.What is the Largest Freshwater Lake in the world? This question was also vague because two of the given options were correct i.e. Lake Baikal (By Volume) and Lake Superior (By Area).

5.Which country has Hinduism as state religion? None of the given options was correct. Because Nepal who was the only Hindu state in the world earlier, had become a secular state by Article 4 of its Consitution of 2015.
