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.

Q302.General ScienceAsked in: Bihar · BPSC Assistant 2014 Official PaperMedium

The oxidation number of Mn in KMnO4 is

  1. A.+2
  2. B.-2
  3. C.+7
  4. D.-7
Show answer
Correct answer: C. +7

Potassium permanganate is a neutral compound, so the oxidation numbers of all its atoms must add up to zero. Potassium, an alkali metal, is always +1, and each of the four oxygen atoms is -2, giving the oxygens a total of -8.

  1. A.Uttar Pradesh
  2. B.Gujarat
  3. C.Bengal
  4. D.Rajasthan

Q304.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 29 Aug 2019 (ME, CBT 2 Paper 1)Medium

Coulomb friction is the friction between

  1. A.Two dry surfaces
  2. B.Two lubricated surfaces
  3. C.Bodies having relative motion
  4. D.Solids and liquids
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Two dry surfaces

Coulomb friction, also called dry friction, is the resistance that acts when two solid surfaces touch each other with no lubricant between them.

Q306.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 25 May 2019, Shift 3Easy

Which organ in the human body helps to maintain balance?

  1. A.Heart
  2. B.Liver
  3. C.Ear
  4. D.Tongue
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Ear

Balance is controlled by the inner ear, which holds the vestibular apparatus alongside the organ of hearing. It is made of three semicircular canals set at right angles to one another and two small sacs, the utricle and the saccule.

Q309.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 30 Aug 2019 (IT, CBT 2)Medium

Which of the following tag creates a checkbox for a form in HTML?

  1. A.<input checkbox>
  2. B.<checkbox>
  3. C.<input=checkbox>
  4. D.<input type="checkbox">
Show answer
Correct answer: D. <input type="checkbox">

HTML has no separate checkbox element at all. Every simple form control is written with the single input tag, and the type attribute decides what the browser draws, whether that is text, password, radio, checkbox, submit, file or hidden.

Q312.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 01 Sep 2019, Shift 2 (Electronics)Easy

What does PPP stand for with respect to Data Communication?

  1. A.Packet to Point Protocol
  2. B.Point to Point Protocol
  3. C.Point to Packet Protocol
  4. D.Packet to Packet Protocol
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Point to Point Protocol

PPP is a data-link layer protocol that carries data directly between two nodes over a single link, such as a telephone line, a leased line or a serial cable.

Q313.Environment & EcologyAsked in: RRB JE · 31 Aug 2019Easy

Which of the following is a disadvantage of most of the renewable energy sources?

  1. A.Unreliable supply
  2. B.High waste disposal cost
  3. C.Highly polluting
  4. D.High running cost
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Unreliable supply

Most renewable sources depend on the weather, so the power they give is intermittent rather than steady. Solar panels make nothing at night and little under thick cloud, wind turbines stop when the wind drops, and hydropower falls away in a weak monsoon.

Q314.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 01 Sep 2019, Shift 2Medium

Convert the hexadecimal number C6 to binary number.

  1. A.10010110
  2. B.11000100
  3. C.11000110
  4. D.10100110
Show answer
Correct answer: C. 11000110

Each hexadecimal digit stands for exactly four binary digits, so a two-digit hex number becomes an eight-bit binary number. Here C is 12 in decimal, which is 1100 in binary, and 6 is 0110.

Q317.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 22 Jan 2019, Shift 1Hard

Two resistors, one of 20 ohm and the other of 30 ohm, are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with an 8 ohm resistor and a 12 V battery. The current through the 20 ohm resistor is:

  1. A.0.36 A
  2. B.0.12 A
  3. C.0.24 A
  4. D.0.60 A
Show answer
Correct answer: A. 0.36 A

Reduce the parallel pair first: 20 into 30 divided by 50 gives 12 ohms. Adding the 8 ohm resistor in series makes the circuit resistance 20 ohms, so the battery drives 12 volts divided by 20 ohms, that is 0.6 ampere, through the whole circuit.

Q318.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 21 Jan 2019, Shift 1Medium

If we compare the effort arm length with the load arm length in a class 3 lever, then which of the below is true?

  1. A.effort arm length can be greater than, equal to or less than the length of the load arm
  2. B.effort arm length is always = load arm length
  3. C.effort arm length is always < load arm length
  4. D.effort arm length is always > load arm length
Show answer
Correct answer: C. effort arm length is always < load arm length

In a class 3 lever the effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load, so the effort always sits nearer the fulcrum and its arm is the shorter of the two.
