RRB ALP GK Questions 2026

General Science is the knowledge section of RRB ALP under CEN 01/2026. The CEN defines it as Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences of Class 10 level in CBT-1, and CBT-2 Part A adds Basic Science and Engineering: units and measurements, mass, weight and density, work, power and energy, speed and velocity, heat and temperature, basic electricity, levers and simple machines, engineering drawing, occupational safety and health, environment education and IT literacy. The notes on this page are GK24's topic-wise GK notes for RRB ALP, written as short facts, formulas and tables so that a topic can be revised in one sitting. Physics notes cover motion, force, gravitation, work and energy, sound, light, electricity and magnetism; Chemistry notes cover matter, atoms and molecules, chemical reactions, acids, bases and salts, metals and non-metals, carbon compounds and the periodic table; Life Sciences notes cover the cell, life processes, control and coordination, reproduction, heredity, diseases and the environment. Topics that appear in both CBT-1 General Science and CBT-2 Basic Science and Engineering, such as units, energy, heat and electricity, are marked so that one reading serves two papers. Each note ends with the previous-year questions asked on it, and the quizzes on this site draw from the same topics, so a weak quiz score points back to the note to reread.

RRB ALP GK Questions with Answers

Q264.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 20 Aug 2018, Shift 1Hard

A ball, thrown vertically upward, rises to a height of 80 m and returns to its original position. The magnitude of its displacement after 7 s of motion will be _______. (take g = 10 m/s2)

  1. A.35 m
  2. B.125 m
  3. C.45 m
  4. D.25 m
Show answer
Correct answer: A. 35 m

First find the throwing speed from the height: v squared equals u squared minus 2 g h gives u equal to the square root of 2 into 10 into 80, that is 40 metres per second.

A body of 4.0 kg is lying at rest. Under the action of a constant force, it gains a speed of 5 m/s. The work done by the force will be _______.

  1. A.40J
  2. B.50J
  3. C.30J
  4. D.60J
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 50J

By the work-energy theorem the work done by a force equals the change in kinetic energy, so the work here is half of 4 kilograms times 5 metres per second squared, that is 0.5 into 4 into 25, which gives 50 joules.

  1. A.bee farming
  2. B.silk farming

Q272.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 12 Oct 2018, Shift 3Easy

What are the constituents of bronze?

  1. A.Al + Cu + Mn + Mg
  2. B.Cu + Zn
  3. C.Cu + Sn
  4. D.Pb + Sn
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Cu + Sn

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, usually about 88 per cent copper to 12 per cent tin. Tin makes copper harder and gives it a far better resistance to rust and sea water, which is why bronze is used for statues, temple bells, coins, medals and ship fittings.

Q273.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 18 Aug 2022, Shift 1Easy

Consider the below statements and identify the correct answer. Statement - I: If a substance loses oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced. Statement - II: If a substance gains hydrogen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced.

  1. A.Both the statements are false.
  2. B.Statement - I is true, and Statement - II is false.
  3. C.Statement - I is false, and Statement - II is true.
  4. D.Both the statements are true.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Both the statements are true.

Reduction means the loss of oxygen or the gain of hydrogen, so each statement states one half of the same definition.

What is the main reason copper turns green over time?

  1. A.Hydrogen embrittlement
  2. B.Absorption of nitrogen from the air
  3. C.Reaction with UV light
  4. D.Formation of an oxide layer
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Formation of an oxide layer

Copper turns green because its surface slowly reacts with the air and gets covered by a layer of corrosion products, and that layer is green.
