SSC CGL 2025 PYQ — Question 29

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. It uses over 60 factors including logistics and geography to calculate the PowerIndex.

The Global Firepower (GFP) index uses a multifaceted methodology to determine a nation's military strength. Rather than focusing solely on weapon counts or nuclear power, it evaluates over 60 individual factors to calculate a PowerIndex (PwrIndx) score. these factors include military might (personnel and equipment), financial standing, logistical capabilities, and even geographical factors like coastline length and shared borders. A lower PowerIndex score indicates a more powerful conventional fighting capability, allowing smaller but technologically advanced nations to compete with larger ones.
