NDA GK Questions 2026

Static general knowledge makes up about 90% of Part B of the NDA General Ability Test, about 360 of its 400 marks. The NDA & NA (II) 2026 notice divides it into five sections: Physics (about 25%), Chemistry (about 15%), General Science (about 10%), History, Freedom Movement etc. (about 20%) and Geography (about 20%). Half of Part B is science. Physics covers matter, motion, gravitation, heat, sound, light, magnetism, electricity and the working of everyday devices such as the siphon, pressure cooker, periscope and safety fuse. Chemistry covers changes of matter, elements and compounds, common gases, acids, bases and salts, carbon, fertilizers and the materials used to make soap, glass, cement and gunpowder. General Science covers cells, the human body, diseases, diet, the solar system and eminent scientists. Section D spans Indian history and culture, the freedom movement, the Constitution, Five Year Plans, Panchayati Raj and world history from the Renaissance to the Russian Revolution. Geography covers the Earth, rocks, oceans, the atmosphere and climate, and India's resources, industries, ports and trade. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for NDA, in English and Hindi, written as short facts and tables. Read a topic, then solve its quiz and previous-year questions on this site.

NDA GK Questions with Answers

Q5682.General ScienceMedium

Which of the following is an equation of uniformly accelerated motion?

  1. A.v squared equals u squared plus 2as
  2. B.v equals u plus as
  3. C.s equals ut plus at
  4. D.v equals u plus at squared
Show answer
Correct answer: A. v squared equals u squared plus 2as

The three equations of uniformly accelerated motion are v equals u plus at, s equals ut plus half of a t squared, and v squared equals u squared plus twice a s, where u is the initial velocity, v the final velocity, a the acceleration, t the time and s…

Q5683.General ScienceEasy

A passenger standing in a moving bus falls forward when the bus stops suddenly. This is due to

  1. A.Inertia of rest
  2. B.Inertia of motion
  3. C.Inertia of direction
  4. D.Centripetal force
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Inertia of motion

While the bus is moving, the passenger's whole body moves with it. When the brakes are applied, the feet stop along with the floor of the bus, but the upper body tends to keep moving forward at the same speed, and the passenger is thrown forward.

Q5684.General ScienceMedium

What is the SI unit of momentum?

  1. A.Newton
  2. B.Joule
  3. C.Kilogram metre per second
  4. D.Newton per second
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Kilogram metre per second

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so its unit is the unit of mass multiplied by the unit of velocity, that is kilogram multiplied by metre per second.

Q5687.General ScienceEasy

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

  1. A.Distance
  2. B.Speed
  3. C.Displacement
  4. D.Time
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Displacement

It is the shortest distance from the starting point to the finishing point together with the direction of that straight line, so it has both magnitude and direction and is therefore a vector.

Q5688.General ScienceEasy

Newton's first law of motion is also known by which name?

  1. A.Law of inertia
  2. B.Law of momentum
  3. C.Law of action and reaction
  4. D.Law of gravitation
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Law of inertia

The first law states that a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless an unbalanced external force acts on it, which is exactly the property called inertia.

Q5689.Environment & EcologyMedium

Which is considered the single largest cause of the loss of biodiversity?

  1. A.Habitat loss and fragmentation
  2. B.Co-extinction
  3. C.Invasive alien species
  4. D.Over-exploitation
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Habitat loss and fragmentation

When forests are cleared, wetlands drained and grasslands ploughed, species lose the space they need, and the fragments that survive are often too small to support large animals or to allow populations to mix and breed.

Q5696.Environment & EcologyEasy

A biosphere reserve is divided into which three zones?

  1. A.Core, buffer and transition
  2. B.Core, sanctuary and park
  3. C.Inner, middle and outer
  4. D.Protected, restricted and open
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Core, buffer and transition

The core zone is legally protected and left undisturbed, with no human activity allowed. The buffer zone around it permits research, education and limited use of resources that does not damage the core.

Q5698.Environment & EcologyMedium

The Convention on Biological Diversity was signed at which conference?

  1. A.The Stockholm Conference of 1972
  2. B.The Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro in 1992
  3. C.The Kyoto Conference of 1997
  4. D.The Ramsar Conference of 1971
Show answer
Correct answer: B. The Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro in 1992

The Convention has three objectives: the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components, and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
