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

Q61.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2017, GATMedium

The time period of a simple pendulum made using a thin copper wire of length L is T. Suppose the temperature of the room in which this simple pendulum is placed increases by 30°C, what will be the effect on the time period of the pendulum ?

  1. A.T will increase slightly
  2. B.T will remain the same
  3. C.T will decrease slightly
  4. D.T will become more than 2 times
Show answer
Correct answer: A. T will increase slightly

Heat makes the copper wire expand a little, and a longer pendulum swings a little more slowly. The time period of a simple pendulum is T = 2π√(L/g), so it grows with the square root of the length.

Which one of the following statements about energy is correct?

  1. A.Energy can be created as well as destroyed.
  2. B.Energy can be created but not destroyed.
  3. C.Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
  4. D.Energy cannot be created but can be destroyed.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

This is the law of conservation of energy: energy only changes from one form to another. In any isolated system the total energy stays the same.

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct ?

  1. A.An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit to measure the current
  2. B.A Voltmeter is always connected in parallel in a circuit to measure the voltage
  3. C.A voltmeter has a high resistance and an ammeter has a low resistance
  4. D.A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance
Show answer
Correct answer: D. A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance

This reverses the truth: a voltmeter has a very high resistance and an ammeter a very low one. An ammeter measures the current flowing through a circuit, so it is placed in series and the whole current passes through it.

  2. B.Cleanliness, passenger amenities and service delivery
  3. C.New railway line surveys
  4. D.Recruitment and vacancies
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Cleanliness, passenger amenities and service delivery

Those three were the stated subjects on which Indian Railways sought feedback and suggestions from passengers at 5,884 stations on 22 October 2026.

In which of the following processes, active transport is NOT used?

  1. A.Reabsorption of amino acids and glucose from kidney into blood
  2. B.Loading sugar from photosynthesizing leaf cells into phloem tissue for transportation
  3. C.Passage of Na+ and Cl- through hydrophilic channel created by protein molecules
  4. D.Absorption of glucose and electrolytes into the bloodstream
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Passage of Na+ and Cl- through hydrophilic channel created by protein molecules

Movement of ions through protein channels is facilitated diffusion, a passive process that needs no energy from ATP. Active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient, from low to high concentration, using carrier proteins and energy, usually from ATP.

An emulsion consists of

  1. A.one liquid and one solid
  2. B.one liquid and one gas
  3. C.two liquids
  4. D.two solids
Show answer
Correct answer: C. two liquids

An emulsion is a colloid in which tiny droplets of one liquid are spread through another liquid with which it does not mix.

Q70.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2019, GKMedium

An electron and a proton starting from rest get accelerated through potential difference of 100 kV. The final speeds of the electron and the proton are Ve and Vp respectively. Which one of the following relations is correct?

  1. A.Ve > Vp
  2. B.Ve < Vp
  3. C.Ve = Vp
  4. D.Cannot be determined
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Ve > Vp

Both particles gain the same kinetic energy, but the electron is far lighter, so it ends up much faster. When a charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V, it gains kinetic energy equal to qV.

Q71.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2020, GKMedium

A luminous object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a converging lens of focal length 25 cm. The image obtained in the screen is

  1. A.erect and magnified
  2. B.erect and smaller
  3. C.inverted and magnified
  4. D.inverted and smaller
Show answer
Correct answer: C. inverted and magnified

The object lies between F and 2F of the convex lens (25 cm and 50 cm), and such an object always gives a real, inverted and enlarged image beyond 2F. Using the lens formula 1/v − 1/u = 1/f with u = −40 cm and f = +25 cm gives…

Which of the following statements regarding the similarity in glycogen in animal cell and starch in plant cell is/are NOT correct?

1. Both are mixtures of amylose and amylopectin

2. Starch and glycogen, both represent the storage form of carbohydrate in liver cells

Select the answer using the code given below:

  1. A.1 only
  2. B.2 only
  3. C.Both 1 and 2
  4. D.Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Both 1 and 2

Neither statement is correct: only starch is a mixture of amylose and amylopectin, and only glycogen is stored in liver cells.

Q75.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2019, GKEasy

If the wavelengths corresponding to ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiations are given as λUV, λVIS and λIR respectively, then which one of the following gives the correct relationship among these wavelengths?

  1. A.λUV < λIR < λVIS
  2. B.λUV > λVIS > λIR
  3. C.λUV > λIR > λVIS
  4. D.λUV < λVIS < λIR
Show answer
Correct answer: D. λUV < λVIS < λIR

Ultraviolet rays have the shortest wavelength of the three, visible light comes next and infrared rays have the longest. The electromagnetic spectrum, in order of increasing wavelength, runs from gamma rays and X-rays to ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves and radio waves.

Which of the following represent disaccharides?

  1. A.Starch and glycogen
  2. B.Glucose and galactose
  3. C.Maltose and lactose
  4. D.Ribose and xylose
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Maltose and lactose

Each of them is made of two simple sugar units joined together, which is exactly what a disaccharide is. Carbohydrates are grouped by the number of sugar units they contain.

Q78.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATEasy

A negative work is done when an applied force F and the corresponding displacement S are

  1. A.perpendicular to each other.
  2. B.parallel to each other.
  3. C.anti-parallel to each other.
  4. D.equal in magnitude.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. anti-parallel to each other.

Work is negative when the force acts opposite to the displacement, because the angle between them is then 180°. Work done is W = F S cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and the displacement.

Which one of the following statements about a satellite orbiting around the Earth is correct ?

  1. A.Satellite is kept in orbit by remote control from ground station.
  2. B.Satellite is kept in orbit by retro-rocket and solar energy keeps it moving around the Earth.
  3. C.Satellite requires energy from solar panels and solid fuels for orbiting.
  4. D.Satellite does not require any energy for orbiting.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Satellite does not require any energy for orbiting.

Once a satellite is placed in orbit with the right speed, the Earth's gravity keeps it going round without any engine.
