General Knowledge and Everyday Science flashcards for SPSC Test
19 of 50 cards from the General Knowledge and Everyday Science deck — real questions with worked answers.
What is the SI unit of force, and what is it equivalent to in base units?
The newton (N). 1 N = 1 kg·m/s².
State Newton's Second Law of Motion as a formula.
Force equals mass times acceleration: F = ma.
What is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximate value)?
Approximately 3 × 10⁸ metres per second (300,000 km/s).
Define 'work' in physics and give its SI unit.
Work is the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force (W = F × d). Its SI unit is the joule (J).
What is the chemical formula of common table salt, and what two ions form it?
Sodium chloride, NaCl, formed from sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻).
On the pH scale, what values represent acidic, neutral, and basic (alkaline) solutions?
pH below 7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral, and pH above 7 is basic/alkaline.
What gas do plants absorb and what gas do they release during photosynthesis?
They absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂) and release oxygen (O₂).
What is the chemical name and formula of baking soda?
Sodium bicarbonate (sodium hydrogen carbonate), NaHCO₃.
Which organ in the human body produces insulin, and what does insulin regulate?
The pancreas produces insulin, which regulates blood glucose (sugar) levels.
Name the four chambers of the human heart.
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle.
What is the functional unit of the kidney called?
The nephron.
Which part of the human brain controls balance and coordination of movement?
The cerebellum.
Which vitamin is produced by the skin in response to sunlight, and what does it help absorb?
Vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium (and phosphorus).
What deficiency causes the disease scurvy, and which vitamin prevents it?
Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
What are the three main macronutrients required by the human body?
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats (lipids).
Which mineral deficiency commonly causes goitre, and what gland is affected?
Iodine deficiency causes goitre, affecting the thyroid gland.
What type of pathogen causes malaria, and which insect transmits it?
A protozoan parasite (Plasmodium) causes malaria, transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito.
What is the difference between active and passive immunity?
Active immunity is produced by the body's own immune response (e.g., after infection or vaccination) and is long-lasting; passive immunity is acquired by receiving ready-made antibodies (e.g., from the mother or an injection) and is temporary.
Which type of white blood cells produce antibodies?
B-lymphocytes (B-cells).

Planning General Knowledge and Everyday Science for SPSC Test
General Knowledge and Everyday Science is about 16% of the SPSC Test syllabus by topic count — 18 of 113 topics, spread over 6 chapters. At roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic, a first pass runs to about 15 hours.
The heaviest chapters are Mathematical and Analytical Ability (4 topics), Biological Sciences (3 topics), Environmental Science (3 topics) . Front-load those while your energy is high; the short chapters are better revision filler later.
Work top-down: read the chapter, then tick topics off individually rather than marking the whole chapter done. Sub-topics are where silent gaps hide.
