SSC GD 2025 PYQ — Question 27

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5.

• Cassiopeia, in astronomy, is a constellation of the northern sky easily recognized by a group of five bright stars forming a slightly irregular W.
• These five stars are

  • Shedar ($\alpha$Cassiopeiae)

  • Caph ($\beta$ Cassiopeiae)

  • Gamma ( $\gamma$ Cassiopeiae)

  • Ruchbah ($\delta$ Cassiopeiae)

  • Segin ($\epsilon$Cassiopeiae)

• These stars are arranged in a zigzag pattern, making Cassiopeia one of the easiest constellations to spot in the night sky, especially during autumn and winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

• It is named after Queen Cassiopeia from Greek mythology, the vain wife of King Cepheus of Ethiopia.
