Railway GK Questions 2026

Static GK in railway exams starts with one shared block: Class 10 science. Every RRB exam on GK24 tests it. Group D has 25 questions on Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences of 10th CBSE level. JE has 30 in CBT-1 and another 15 on Physics and Chemistry in CBT-2. ALP tests General Science in CBT-1 and Basic Science and Engineering in CBT-2, and NTPC lists general science up to 10th inside General Awareness. Beyond science, the lists differ. NTPC names history and the freedom struggle, geography, polity, the economy, art and culture, environment, computers, abbreviations, transport systems in India, world organisations and government bodies. JE names geography, history and culture, polity, the economy and environmental issues, and adds computers and pollution control in CBT-2. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for railway exams in English and Hindi: General Science, History, Geography, Polity, Economy, Art and Culture, Environment, Computers and static GK, including Indian Railways. Each note is short facts and tables that can be revised in one sitting. Begin with the science notes, since they serve every railway exam, then add the static topics your exam lists, and test each note with its quiz.

Q2172.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2024, GKMedium

The correct order of atomic radius of Li, Na, Be and O is

  1. A.Na > Li > Be > O
  2. B.Na > Be > Li > O
  3. C.Be > Li > Na > O
  4. D.O > Be > Li > Na
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Na > Li > Be > O

Two trends of the periodic table decide the order. Going down a group, atomic radius increases because each new period adds an electron shell; so sodium, in period 3, is larger than lithium, in period 2, of the same group 1.

Q2173.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2025, GKEasy

Why does the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum look 'rough' under a microscope ?

  1. A.Due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface
  2. B.Due to the absence of ribosomes on its surface
  3. C.Due to the presence of lysosomes on its surface
  4. D.Due to the presence of mitochondria on its surface
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membrane tubes and sacs inside the cell. Part of it is studded on the outside with tiny granules called ribosomes, which give it a dotted, rough look under an electron microscope; this part is the rough ER.

An aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity. This is because

  1. A.It contains hydrogen ion
  2. B.It contains water molecules
  3. C.Electricity passes through it
  4. D.It generates electricity
Show answer
Correct answer: A. It contains hydrogen ion

When an acid such as hydrochloric acid dissolves in water, it splits into ions: hydrogen ions (H⁺, which join water molecules as hydronium ions, H₃O⁺) and negative ions such as chloride (Cl⁻).

Q2176.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2018, GKMedium

A wire of copper having length l and area of cross-section A is taken and a current I is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

  1. A.P
  2. B.< P
  3. C.> P
  4. D.2P
Show answer
Correct answer: C. > P

The power turned into heat in a wire carrying a current I is P = I²R, and the resistance of a wire is R = ρl/A, where ρ is the resistivity of its material.

Q2178.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2025, GKEasy

  1. A.Far-sightedness
  2. B.Near-sightedness
  3. C.Cataract

Q2179.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2026, GKEasy

The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its

  1. A.Kilo-gram mass
  2. B.Gram-mass
  3. C.Molar-mass
  4. D.All the above
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Molar-mass

The mass of one mole of any substance, expressed in grams, is by definition its molar mass. One mole contains the Avogadro number of particles, about 6.022 × 10 23, so the molar mass links the mass we can weigh to the number of atoms or molecules present.
