RRB Group D GK Questions 2026

Static GK is not a separate section in RRB Group D, but it decides most of the paper's recall marks. General Science is 25 questions of Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences at 10th standard (CBSE) level as per CEN 09/2025, and the 20 General Awareness questions lean on the standing facts behind the news: the sport, the award, the institution, the state, the river or the scientist an event touches. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for RRB Group D. The General Science notes go topic by topic through motion and force, work, energy and power, gravitation, heat, light, sound, electricity and magnetism, atomic structure and the periodic table, chemical reactions, acids, bases and salts, metals and non-metals, and carbon compounds, and the Life Sciences notes cover cells, the human body, nutrition, diseases, plants and genetics. The static GK notes cover Indian Railways zones and facts, national symbols, first and largest in India and the world, awards and honours, important days, books and authors, sports GK, art and culture, and the basics of Indian Polity, Geography, History and the Economy. Each note is short facts and tables that can be revised in one sitting. Read a note, then solve its quiz and the previous-year questions on this site to check what stayed.

RRB Group D GK Questions with Answers

Q461.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATEasy

If a ray of light enters from a rarer medium to a denser medium at zero angle of incidence, it would

  1. A.reflect back.
  2. B.go straight.
  3. C.turn towards right.
  4. D.bend at 45°.
Show answer
Correct answer: B. go straight.

An angle of incidence of zero means the ray falls along the normal, that is, perpendicular to the surface. By Snell's law, n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r; if i is zero, sin i is zero, so sin r is also zero and the angle of refraction is zero.

Q463.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2022, GATEasy

Bronze is an alloy of

  1. A.Cu and Zn
  2. B.Cu and Sn
  3. C.Zn and Mg
  4. D.Fe and Cu
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Cu and Sn

Bronze is made by mixing copper (Cu) with tin (Sn), usually about nine parts copper to one part tin. Adding tin makes the metal harder, stronger and more resistant to corrosion than pure copper, which is why bronze was used for tools, weapons, bells, coins and statues.

Q466.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2026, GATEasy

Which one of the following is not a characteristic of an insect-pollinated plant?

  1. A.Brightly coloured and fragrant flowers
  2. B.Light and small pollen grains
  3. C.Sticky and/or spiny pollen grains
  4. D.Presence of nectar in a flower
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Light and small pollen grains

Light, small and dry pollen is a feature of wind-pollinated plants, not of plants that depend on insects. Insect-pollinated (entomophilous) flowers have to attract a visitor and then make the pollen travel on its body.

Q473.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2018, GATMedium

Which one of the following is not used as fertilizer?

  1. A.Ammonium nitrate
  2. B.Ammonium sulphide
  3. C.Ammonium phosphate
  4. D.Ammonium sulphate
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Ammonium sulphide

Ammonium sulphide is an unstable, foul-smelling compound that breaks down to release ammonia and toxic hydrogen sulphide, so it is not used as a fertiliser.

Q477.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2022, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements about speed and velocity is correct?

  1. A.Speed and velocity both are vector quantities.
  2. B.Speed and velocity both are scalar quantities.
  3. C.Speed is vector quantity and velocity is scalar quantity.
  4. D.Speed is scalar quantity and velocity is vector quantity.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Speed is scalar quantity and velocity is vector quantity.

Speed tells only how fast a body moves, while velocity also tells the direction of motion, and a quantity with both magnitude and direction is a vector.

Q478.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2023, GATMedium

During a laboratory experiment, a student immerses epidermal leaf peel in a hypertonic solution. After some time, the student examined the cells under a microscope and observed that:

  1. A.the cells swelled.
  2. B.the cells were plasmolysed.
  3. C.the cells built up turgor pressure.
  4. D.the cells size was unaffected.
Show answer
Correct answer: B. the cells were plasmolysed.

A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell sap, so water leaves the cells by osmosis and the protoplast shrinks away from the cell wall.

Q479.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct ?

  1. A.The interconversion of states of matter is a physical change

  3. C.During a physical change, the chemical composition of molecules changes
  4. D.Rusting of iron is a chemical change
Show answer
Correct answer: C. During a physical change, the chemical composition of molecules changes

That is false: in a physical change the molecules stay the same, and only their arrangement, state or shape alters.
