Here you will find the one-liner Mcqs related to only Astronomy. This is a smart study where you don’t have to look for the options. You have to just read the most frequent question and the anwser is provided in it.
whereby you know the answer within short span of time. However, this will save a lot of your time. Moreover, At the end of every question you will see abbreviations like FPSC, PPSC, SPSC, NTS, STS – IBA, PTS, and OTS.
This means that this question has occured/repeated in these competitive exams.These MCqs of competitive exam is the result of research, experience and hardwork. Thus we have developed the content for you from being complex to being simple.
