SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 49

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Oscillatory motion – Earth moving around the sun

• The statement "Earth moving around the sun – Oscillatory motion" is incorrect because the Earth's movement around the sun is not an oscillatory motion but a circular motion.
• The oscillatory motion is a motion that repeats back and forth around a fixed point (like a pendulum).
• In contrast, circular motion involves an object moving in a circular path around a central point. The Earth's orbit around the sun is an elliptical (near-circular) motion caused by gravitational forces, not a back-and-forth repetitive motion as seen in oscillatory systems.
