beneficial in SSC previous-year questions

  1. 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.*
