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

Q1521.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2018, GATMedium

The magnetic field strength of a current-carrying wire at a particular distance from the axis of the wire

  1. A.depends upon the current in the wire
  2. B.depends upon the radius of the wire
  3. C.depends upon the temperature of the surroundings
  4. D.None of the above
Show answer
Correct answer: A. depends upon the current in the wire

Outside a long straight wire the field is B = μ₀I/(2πr), so at a fixed distance r it is directly proportional to the current I. Hans Christian Oersted found in 1820 that a current deflects a compass needle, showing that a current produces a magnetic field.

Q1523.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2019, GATMedium

If an object moves at a non-zero constant acceleration for a certain interval of time, then the distance it covers in that time

  1. A.depends on its initial velocity.
  2. B.is independent of its initial velocity.
  3. C.increases linearly with time.
  4. D.depends on its initial displacement.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. depends on its initial velocity.

With constant acceleration the distance covered is s = ut + ½at², and the first term contains the initial velocity u. This is the second equation of motion.

Q1527.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2023, GATMedium

An important cause of tooth decay by the bacterium Streptococcus mutans is because of their ability to attach to teeth surface by producing slime layer from

  1. A.Sugar
  2. B.Alcohol
  3. C.Saliva
  4. D.Teichoic acid
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Sugar

Streptococcus mutans turns dietary sugar, especially sucrose, into a sticky slime that glues it to the teeth. The bacterium makes enzymes called glucosyltransferases that join the glucose units of sucrose into sticky chains called glucans.

Which among the following are essential constituents of Portland cement?

  1. A.Sand, lime, clay
  2. B.Silica, alumina, lime
  3. C.Silica, lime, graphite powder
  4. D.Sand, graphene, clay
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Silica, alumina, lime

These three oxides, made by heating limestone with clay, form the compounds that make cement set and harden. Portland cement was patented by Joseph Aspdin in England in 1824, and named after Portland stone, which the set cement resembled.

Q1529.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2024, GATMedium

An astronaut whose weight on the Earth is 600 N experiences weightlessness on International Space Station orbiting around the Earth. It means that

  1. A.acceleration of the astronaut is zero
  2. B.normal reaction of the space-station floor on the astronaut is zero
  3. C.gravitational pull of earth on the astronaut is zero
  4. D.space station applies a centrifugal force on the astronaut
Show answer
Correct answer: B. normal reaction of the space-station floor on the astronaut is zero

The weight we feel is really the push of the floor on us, and in orbit that push disappears. The space station and the astronaut are both in free fall around the Earth.

Q1530.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATMedium

Which one of the following instruments can be used to measure −250°C temperature?

  1. A.By using a mercury based thermometer
  2. B.By using an alcohol based thermometer
  3. C.By using a clinical thermometer
  4. D.By using thermocouple based thermometer
Show answer
Correct answer: D. By using thermocouple based thermometer

A thermocouple has no liquid that can freeze, so suitable types can read temperatures far below −200°C. A thermocouple is made of two wires of different metals joined at a junction.
