efficiency in SSC previous-year questions

  1. SSC Steno 2026 T-1 Spelling

    Which part of the following sentence contains a spelling error?
    The liaison (1) between the two departments ensured effeciency (2) and eliminated unnecessary bureaucracy (3) in the approval process (4).

    Answer & explanation

    Answer: D) (2)

    Rule: the *-cient* family all turn into -ciency with an i, never an *e*.
    Example: *sufficient → sufficiency*, *deficient → deficiency*, *proficient → proficiency*, *efficient →* efficiency.
    Part (2) prints effeciency; the correct spelling is efficiency *(दक्षता, कार्यकुशलता)*.
    Say the family aloud and the i after the double *ff* is audible in every member.
    Why the others are fine.
    • (1) The liaison *(संपर्क, तालमेल)* — awkward but correct: l-i-a-i-s-o-n, with the second *i* that most candidates drop.
    • (3) eliminated unnecessary bureaucracy *(हटा दिया; अनावश्यक; नौकरशाही)* — *unnecessary* takes double n and a single c; *bureaucracy* keeps the French *bureau* intact.
    • (4) in the approval pro
