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.

  1. A.Liver fluke
  2. B.Wuchereria
  3. C.Plasmodium
  4. D.Planaria

Q651.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2025, GKEasy

The linear momentum of a particle is conserved if:

  1. A.the net force on it is maximum.
  2. B.the net force on it is zero.
  3. C.the net torque on it is zero.
  4. D.the net work done on it is maximum.
Show answer
Correct answer: B. the net force on it is zero.

Linear momentum stays constant only when no net external force acts. Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity, p = mv.

Q652.GeographyAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2016, GKMedium

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

  1. A.Position of the Sun, Earth and Moon in a straight line of 180° angle is known as syzygy.
  2. B.Syzygy conjunction causes solar eclipse.
  3. C.Syzygy opposition causes lunar eclipse.
  4. D.Syzygy conjunction occurs at the time of perihelion only.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Syzygy conjunction occurs at the time of perihelion only.

This statement is not correct, because conjunction happens at every new moon, about once a month, and has nothing to do with the Earth's closest point to the Sun.

Q653.GeographyAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2017, GKMedium

Which one of the following about sugar industry of Peninsular India is not correct?

  1. A.High yield per hectare of sugarcane
  2. B.Higher sucrose content
  3. C.Long crushing season
  4. D.Most of the mills in the Peninsula are located mainly along the east coast
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Most of the mills in the Peninsula are located mainly along the east coast

This statement is not correct, because the peninsular sugar mills are concentrated mainly in Maharashtra and Karnataka, in the west and the interior of the plateau.

Q654.Awards & HonoursAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2017, GKMedium

The Nobel Prize in Physics for the year 2016 was given to

  1. A.David J. Thouless
  2. B.F. Duncan M. Haldane
  3. C.J. Michael Kosterlitz
  4. D.All of them
Show answer
Correct answer: D. All of them

The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was shared by David J. Thouless, F. Duncan M. Haldane and J. Michael Kosterlitz, three British-born physicists working in the United States.

Q655.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2018, GKMedium

Which of the following classes of animals has/have three-chambered heart?

  1. A.Pisces and Amphibia
  2. B.Amphibia and Reptilia
  3. C.Reptilia only
  4. D.Amphibia only
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Amphibia and Reptilia

Amphibians and most reptiles have a heart with three chambers: two atria and one ventricle. In frogs and toads, oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and oxygen-poor blood from the body both reach the single ventricle, so some mixing takes place.

Q659.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2021, GKMedium

Which one of the following laws of electromagnetism does not give the direction of magnetic field ?

  1. A.Right-hand thumb rule
  2. B.Fleming's left-hand rule
  3. C.Fleming's right-hand rule
  4. D.Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction

Faraday's law is a law of magnitude, not a direction rule. It states that the emf induced in a circuit is proportional to the rate at which the magnetic flux through it changes.
