- SSC Selection Post Ph-14 2026 (Graduate Level) Spelling
Identify the incorrectly spelt word in the following sentence:
The company announced a benefitial scheme for its employees.Answer & explanation
Answer: B) Benefitial
Rule: the correct spelling is beneficial — ending -cial, not *-tial*.
It comes from *benefice/beneficium*, which has a c; the noun *benefit* has a t, but the adjective does not keep it.
beneficial = helpful, giving an advantage *(लाभदायक, हितकारी)*.
Why the others are fine.
#B Announced = declared publicly *(घोषणा की)* — double n, then -ounce + d.
#B Scheme = a planned programme *(योजना)* — sch, as in *school*.
#B Employees = people who work for an employer *(कर्मचारी)* — employ + ee + s.
Answer: Benefitial (correct: Beneficial)
*Benefit has a t; beneficial, beneficiary and beneficent all switch to c.* - SSC Steno 2023 T-1 Synonyms
