contingent in SSC previous-year questions
- SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling
Select the wrongly spelt word out of the four alternatives.
Answer & explanation
Answer: B) continguent
Rule: contingent is spelt con-tin-gent — there is no *u* after the *g*.
Example of my own: *Payment is contingent on delivery.*
continguent is the misspelling; the correct form is contingent = dependent on something uncertain; also a group sent as part of a larger body *(आकस्मिक, शर्त पर निर्भर; दल, टुकड़ी)*.
Why the others are fine.
• equipment = tools and apparatus *(उपकरण)* — e-quip-ment, no double *p*.
• performance = the act of doing or presenting *(प्रदर्शन)* — per-for-mance, ends in -ance.
• independent = self-reliant *(स्वतंत्र)* — ends in -ent.
*Contingent rhymes with stringent — g-e-n-t, no u.*
