SSC EXAMS: WHO IS GIVEN BENEFIT OF REPRESENTATION?

QUERY: If One does not represent a wrong question, is benefit given to him or not?

REPLY: Be it any exam, it doesn’t matter whether one has made a representation or not, if the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is of the view that the question / answer for which any of candidates has sent his representation is faulty the benefit is given to all.

QUERY: If one does not attempt a question, is benefit of the representation given to him also?

REPLY: Yes, if a candidate does not represent a question, the benefit of the representation is given to him also.

Representation भेजने का लाभ किनको मिलता है?

QUERY: यदि कोई परीक्षार्थी किसी गलत question का representation नहीं भेजता है तो क्या उसको भी इसका लाभ मिलता है?

REPLY: कोई भी exam हो, इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि कोई अपना representation भेजता है या नहीं; Staff Selection Commission (SSC) के अनुसार यदि किसी भी परीक्षार्थी का representation उचित है तो इसका लाभ सभी परीक्षार्थियों को मिलता है. 

QUERY: यदि कोई परीक्षार्थी किसी question का answer नहीं देता है, और उस question का  representation किसी के भी द्वारा भेजा जाता है तो क्या इसका लाभ भी उस व्यक्ति को मिलता है जिसने वो question किया ही नहीं?

REPLY: हाँ उस question का लाभ भी उस व्यक्ति को मिलेगा.

A samples of representation for wrong questions/ answers

1. SSC Key’s answer: option ‘D’

My answer: option ‘B’

Explanation: In part ‘B’ the verb is in the Present Perfect Tense (have received) whereas it should be in the Past Simple Tense (received)

2. SSC Key’s answer option ‘C’

My answer: WRONGLY FRAMED QUESTION as in answer options 2 of them are correctly spelled words (options ‘A’ & ‘D’) and 2 of them are wrong (options ‘B’ & ‘C’).

3. SSC Key’s answer: option ‘A’

My answer: option ‘D’

Explanation: The given sentence has two clauses i.e. (i) If the room had been brighter and (ii) Shweta would have been able to read for a while before bedtime. This is a conditional sentence type-3 in which the verb in the IF-CLAUSE is in the past perfect tense; the verb in the MAIN CLAUSE is in the perfect conditional. In the IF-clause the verb is HAD BEEN (past perfect) and in the main clause the verb is WOULD HAVE BEEN (perfect conditional). Therefore according to the rule stated above SSC key is not correct for this question.

4. SSC Key’s answer: option ‘C’

My answer: option ‘D’

Explanation: SINCE and EVER SINCE both are equally correct here. In a SENTENCE IMPROVEMENT sentence one is supposed to improve it when it’s not correct even though any other answer option also is correct. So SSC key is not right here.
