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.

Q142.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATMedium

The optimum pH at which the enzymes pepsin and trypsin of the human alimentary canal works are

  1. A.pH 2.0 and 7.9, respectively
  2. B.pH 4.5 and 3.5, respectively
  3. C.pH 9.5 and 4.5, respectively
  4. D.pH 7.0 and 8.0, respectively
Show answer
Correct answer: A. pH 2.0 and 7.9, respectively

Pepsin works in the strongly acidic stomach, while trypsin works in the mildly alkaline small intestine. Pepsin is secreted by the chief cells of the stomach as inactive pepsinogen, which hydrochloric acid from the parietal cells turns into pepsin.

Osmosis is the process of movement of water molecules from its

  1. A.higher concentration to its lower concentration through a cell wall.
  2. B.lower concentration to its higher concentration through a fully permeable membrane.
  3. C.higher concentration to its lower concentration through a fully permeable membrane.
  4. D.higher concentration to its lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. higher concentration to its lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Osmosis is the passage of water from where water is more concentrated (a dilute solution) to where it is less concentrated, across a membrane that lets water through but holds back solutes.

Q152.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2019, GKEasy

Which one of the following is not found in animal cells ?

  1. A.Free ribosomes
  2. B.Mitochondria
  3. C.Nucleolus
  4. D.Cell wall
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Cell wall

Animal cells are bounded only by a flexible plasma membrane and have no rigid cell wall outside it. A cell wall is found in plants, where it is made mainly of cellulose, in fungi, where it is made of chitin, and in bacteria, where it is made of peptidoglycan.

Q156.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2022, GATEasy

The volume of a sealed packet is 1 litre and its mass is 800 g. The packet is first put inside water with density 1 g cm⁻³ and then in another liquid B with density 1.5 g cm⁻³. Then which one of the following statements holds true?

  1. A.The packet will float in both water and liquid B.
  2. B.The packet will sink in both water and liquid B.
  3. C.The packet will sink in water but will float in liquid B.
  4. D.The packet will float in water and sink in liquid B.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. The packet will float in both water and liquid B.

The packet’s density is 800 g divided by 1,000 cm³, which is 0.8 g/cm³, less than the density of both liquids.

Q157.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2025, GATMedium

An object is placed between infinity and the pole (P) of a convex mirror. The position of the image is

  1. A.between pole (P) and the focus (F), behind the mirror
  2. B.between the focus (F) and infinity, behind the mirror
  3. C.between the pole (P) and the infinity, in front of the mirror
  4. D.at the focus (F), behind the mirror
Show answer
Correct answer: A. between pole (P) and the focus (F), behind the mirror

For any position of a real object in front of a convex mirror, the image forms behind the mirror between P and F. A convex mirror bulges outward, and its focus and centre of curvature lie behind it.
