ballistics in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Matriculation Level) Spelling
Select the correctly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Ballistics
Meaning: ballistics = the science of the motion of projectiles such as bullets, shells and rockets *(प्रक्षेप्य विज्ञान)*.
Build the spelling.
It comes from *ballista*, the ancient Roman catapult.
ball + istics
B-a-l-l-i-s-t-i-c-s — double ll, then the science ending -ics, as in *physics* and *statistics*.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Balistics — drops one l; the root *ball-* keeps ll.
#B Ballisticks — the subject-name ending is -ics, never *-icks*.
#B Ballastics — mixes in *ballast* (heavy material that steadies a ship *(जहाज़ का स्थिरक भार)*); the vowel after ll is i.
Answer: Ballistics
*Ballista + -ics: the catapult gave its double l to the science.*
