RRB JE GK Questions 2026

Static GK makes up most of the General Awareness syllabus of RRB JE, and General Science adds a larger block of its own. CEN 04/2026 lists Indian geography, the culture and history of India including the freedom struggle, Indian Polity and Constitution, the Indian Economy and environmental issues concerning India and the world. In CBT-1 these share 15 questions with current affairs, while General Science, which the CEN defines as Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences up to the 10th Standard CBSE syllabus, has 30 questions of its own. CBT-2 repeats the General Awareness syllabus in 15 questions and adds 15 on Physics and Chemistry, 10 on Basics of Computers and Applications and 10 on Basics of Environment and Pollution Control. This page holds GK24's topic-wise GK notes for RRB JE: Polity, History, Geography, the Economy, Art and Culture, Environment and Ecology, General Science and Computer basics. Each note is a set of short facts and tables in English and Hindi that can be revised in one sitting. Read one topic, solve its quiz and previous-year questions, and return to it a week later. With 15 General Awareness questions spread over eight areas, breadth matters more than depth, while General Science rewards thorough revision of Class 10 concepts.

  1. A.Ministry of Heavy Industries
  2. B.Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
  3. C.Ministry of Science and Technology
  4. D.Ministry of Commerce and Industry

Q243.General ScienceHard

The viscosity of a liquid and the viscosity of a gas behave in which way when the temperature is raised?

  1. A.Both increase
  2. B.Both decrease
  3. C.Viscosity of the liquid decreases and that of the gas increases
  4. D.Viscosity of the liquid increases and that of the gas decreases
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Viscosity of the liquid decreases and that of the gas increases

In a liquid, viscosity comes chiefly from cohesion between molecules; heating weakens that cohesion, so the layers slide past one another more easily and the viscosity falls, which is why engine oil becomes thinner as the engine warms and why honey flows freely when it is warmed.

Q244.General ScienceEasy

The spherical shape of a small liquid drop is due to

  1. A.Viscosity
  2. B.Surface tension
  3. C.Capillarity
  4. D.Buoyancy
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Surface tension

Cohesive forces pull the molecules at the surface of a liquid inward, so the surface behaves like a stretched membrane and takes the smallest area that can enclose the given volume; for a fixed volume the shape of least surface area is a sphere, which is why a free drop…

Q246.General ScienceEasy

Pascal's law is the principle behind which of the following devices?

  1. A.Hydraulic brakes
  2. B.Barometer
  3. C.Hydrometer
  4. D.Siphon
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Hydraulic brakes

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the walls of the vessel, so a modest push on the brake pedal creates a pressure in the brake fluid that is passed to the wider pistons at every…

Q247.General ScienceAsked in: Rajasthan · 4th July 2019Medium

A liquid rises upto a height greater than that for water in given capillary tube. Its reason may be that

  1. A.the liquid is more viscous than water.
  2. B.the temperature of liquid is higher than that of water.
  3. C.the surface tension of water is less than that of liquid.
  4. D.the surface tension of water is more than that of liquid.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. the surface tension of water is less than that of liquid.

In a capillary tube the height of rise is directly proportional to the surface tension of the liquid and inversely proportional to its density and the radius of the tube.

Q248.General ScienceAsked in: Uttar Pradesh · UPSSSC JE Mechanical 2016 Official PaperHard

A fluid in which resistance to deformation is independent of the shear stress, is known as

  1. A.Bingham plastic fluid
  2. B.Pseudo plastic fluid
  3. C.Dilatants fluid
  4. D.Newtonian fluid
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Newtonian fluid

In such a fluid the shearing stress is directly proportional to the rate of shear, so the coefficient of viscosity, which measures the resistance to deformation, keeps the same value whatever the stress applied; water, air, petrol and thin oils behave in this way.

Q249.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 19 Sep 2019, Shift 2Hard

Centre of buoyancy is

  1. A.Centre of gravity of the body
  2. B.Centre of mass of displaced fluid
  3. C.Mid point between Centre of gravity and metacentre
  4. D.The point of intersection of buoyant force and centre line of the body
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Centre of mass of displaced fluid

The upthrust on a body is the resultant of the pressure forces of the fluid around it, and that resultant acts through the centre of gravity of the fluid the body has pushed aside, which is why the point is called the centre of buoyancy.

Q250.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 30 Aug, 2019, Shift 1Medium

What percent of the total volume of an iceberg floats above the water surface? Assume the density of ice to be 920 kg/m3 and the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.

  1. A.6
  2. B.8
  3. C.92
  4. D.20
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 8

A floating body displaces its own weight of fluid, so the fraction of its volume that lies below the surface equals the ratio of its density to the density of the fluid, here 920 divided by 1000, which is 0.92.

Q251.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 16 Oct 2018, Shift 2Medium

On which of the following factors does the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on a body in a given fluid depend?

  1. A.Weight of the body immersed in it
  2. B.Shape of the body immersed in the fluid.
  3. C.Density of the fluid and mass of the body immersed in it
  4. D.Density of the fluid and the volume of the body immersed in it
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Density of the fluid and the volume of the body immersed in it

By Archimedes' principle the upthrust on a body equals the weight of the fluid it displaces, and that weight is the volume of the body actually immersed multiplied by the density of the fluid and by the acceleration due to gravity.

Which policy will the new authority advise on reviewing and updating?

  1. A.National Rail Plan
  2. B.National Logistics Policy of 2022
  3. C.National Civil Aviation Policy
  4. D.National Highways Development Policy
Show answer

Which of the following will ITLA build to bring transport data together in one place?

  1. A.National Transport Data Repository
  2. B.National Freight Exchange
  3. C.Unified Logistics Interface Platform
  4. D.National Mobility Grid
Show answer
Correct answer: A. National Transport Data Repository

The Cabinet decision asks ITLA to build a unified transport data repository by obtaining relevant transport and logistics datasets from several sources, among them the GSTN e-way bill, FASTag, Vahan, GPS-based systems and urban traffic management systems, and then to carry out analytics such as freight flow and origin-destination studies…

Q254.EconomyMedium

What is the cost threshold above which ITLA will carry out the technical appraisal of central infrastructure projects?

  1. A.Rs 100 crore
  2. B.Rs 250 crore
  3. C.Rs 500 crore
  4. D.Rs 1,000 crore
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Rs 500 crore

The approval gives the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority the task of technically appraising infrastructure projects of the Government of India costing that much or more, while financial appraisal continues through the mechanisms that already exist.

Q255.Science & TechnologyHard

What minimum mass was estimated for the central black hole of OJ 287 in the study?

  1. A.3.89 million solar masses
  2. B.3.89 billion solar masses
  3. C.18 billion solar masses
  4. D.106 million solar masses
