SSC MTS 2026 PYQ — Question 81

SSC MTS - 13 Feb 2026 - Shift 3 • English • Q81

The following sentence is divided into four parts and are given in the alternatives A, B, C, and D. Select that alternative which contains that part of the sentence which has an error. Selecting the part with the error is the answer.

The painters want to be paid immediately on cash and with no questions asked.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The error is in Part C of the sentence.

We should use "in cash and with" in place of "on cash and with".

In English, the standard preposition to use when referring to a form of payment is "in." Therefore, we say "paid in cash," "paid in installments," or "paid in full."

Using "on cash" is grammatically incorrect in this context.

Option ‘C’ is the correct answer.
