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.

  2. B.Dead leaves
  3. C.Polythene bag
  4. D.Rotting fruit

Q5471.Environment & EcologyAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 17 Dec 2024, Shift 2Easy

When the pH of rainwater falls below 5.6, it is commonly referred to as:

  1. A.alkaline rain
  2. B.acid rain
  3. C.mineral rain
  4. D.hard water
Show answer
Correct answer: B. acid rain

Rain with a pH below 5.6 is called acid rain. Even clean rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of about 5.6, because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in it to form weak carbonic acid; that is why 5.6, not 7, is the dividing line.

Q5472.Environment & EcologyAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 16 Dec 2024, Shift 2Easy

Why is the depletion of the ozone layer a concern for humans?

  1. A.It promotes plant growth.
  2. B.It leads to increased water pollution.
  3. C.It protects us from harmful radiation.
  4. D.It increases soil fertility.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. It protects us from harmful radiation.

The ozone layer shields us from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, so when it thins, that protection is lost. It lies in the stratosphere, roughly 15 to 35 km above the Earth, and absorbs most of the UV-B and UV-C radiation.

Q5474.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 17 Dec 2024, Shift 2Medium

What is the molecular formula of washing soda?

  1. A.NaHCO₃
  2. B.Na₂CO₃·10H₂O
  3. C.Na₂CO₃
  4. D.NaCl
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

Washing soda is sodium carbonate decahydrate: each unit of sodium carbonate holds ten molecules of water of crystallisation. It is made from common salt in steps: baking soda is heated to get anhydrous sodium carbonate, called soda ash, which is then recrystallised from water to give washing soda crystals.

Q5475.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 17 Dec 2024, Shift 1Easy

Why are danger signals typically red in colour?

  1. A.Red light has a longer wavelength and is scattered the least, making it visible from a distance.
  2. B.Red light is more reflective than other colours.
  3. C.Red light is easier to produce artificially.
  4. D.The colour red is aesthetically pleasing.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Red light has a longer wavelength and is scattered the least, making it visible from a distance.

Red has the longest wavelength in visible light, about 700 nm, so the tiny particles of air, fog, smoke and dust scatter it the least.

Q5477.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 16 Dec 2024, Shift 1Easy

Which of the following rules is used to determine the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in an electric motor?

  1. A.Ampere's Law
  2. B.Right-Hand Thumb Rule
  3. C.Fleming's Right-Hand Rule
  4. D.Fleming's Left-Hand Rule
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Fleming's Left-Hand Rule

It gives the direction of the force, and so of the motion, on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field, which is exactly what turns the coil of a motor.

Q5478.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · CBT-1, 16 Dec 2024, Shift 1Easy

Which of the following reactions represents the combustion of methane?

  1. A.CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
  2. B.CH₄ + Cl₂ → CH₃Cl + HCl
  3. C.CH₄ + O₂ → CO + H₂O
  4. D.CH₄ + H₂O → CO + H₂
Show answer
Correct answer: A. CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

Combustion means burning in oxygen, and complete burning of methane gives carbon dioxide, water, heat and light. The equation is balanced: one carbon, four hydrogen and four oxygen atoms on each side.
