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.

RRB JE GK Questions with Answers

Q322.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 20 Aug 2018, Shift 1Hard

A ball, thrown vertically upward, rises to a height of 80 m and returns to its original position. The magnitude of its displacement after 7 s of motion will be _______. (take g = 10 m/s2)

  1. A.35 m
  2. B.125 m
  3. C.45 m
  4. D.25 m
Show answer
Correct answer: A. 35 m

First find the throwing speed from the height: v squared equals u squared minus 2 g h gives u equal to the square root of 2 into 10 into 80, that is 40 metres per second.

Q324.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 9 Aug 2018, Shift 2Medium

A body of 4.0 kg is lying at rest. Under the action of a constant force, it gains a speed of 5 m/s. The work done by the force will be _______.

  1. A.40J
  2. B.50J
  3. C.30J
  4. D.60J
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 50J

By the work-energy theorem the work done by a force equals the change in kinetic energy, so the work here is half of 4 kilograms times 5 metres per second squared, that is 0.5 into 4 into 25, which gives 50 joules.

Q326.General ScienceAsked in: Bihar · BPSC AE Paper 5 (Civil Engineering) 2012Medium

Choose the correct statements from the following: 1. Hooke's law is valid up to the limit of proportionality. 2. Hooke's law is valid up to elastic limit. 3. Limit of proportionality is always less than the elastic limit. 4. Limit of proportionality is either equal to or less than the elastic limit. The correct answer is

  1. A.1 and 4
  2. B.2 and 4
  3. C.1 and 3
  4. D.2 and 3
Show answer
Correct answer: A. 1 and 4

Hooke's law holds only as far as the limit of proportionality, and that limit is either equal to or lower than the elastic limit, so statements 1 and 4 are the correct pair.

Q328.General ScienceAsked in: Bihar · 14 Oct 2022Medium

Thermoplasts

  1. A.have a three-dimensional network of primary bonds as polymerization proceeds in all directions
  2. B.are long chain molecules held together by secondary bonds
  3. C.have decreasing ability to deform plastically with increasing temperature
  4. D.have secondary bonds and as the thermal energy increases, the secondary bonds never break
Show answer
Correct answer: B. are long chain molecules held together by secondary bonds

In a thermoplastic the polymer exists as long linear or lightly branched chains, and one chain is held to the next only by weak secondary forces such as van der Waals attraction.

Q330.General ScienceAsked in: RRB ALP · 02 May, 2025, Shift 2Medium

What is the main reason copper turns green over time?

  1. A.Hydrogen embrittlement
  2. B.Absorption of nitrogen from the air
  3. C.Reaction with UV light
  4. D.Formation of an oxide layer
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Formation of an oxide layer

Copper turns green because its surface slowly reacts with the air and gets covered by a layer of corrosion products, and that layer is green.

Q331.State NewsMedium

Which body conducted the first-ever auction of mineral blocks in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir?

  1. A.Ministry of Mines, Government of India
  2. B.Geological Survey of India
  3. C.NITI Aayog
  4. D.Indian Bureau of Mines
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Ministry of Mines, Government of India

The Government of Jammu & Kashmir entrusted the auction of its mineral blocks to the Ministry of Mines, which carried out the process under the Central Government mineral auction route and announced the successful result.

Q335.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · 16 April 2023Medium

Naphthalene burns with a yellow sooty flame. This is because

  1. A.carbon to hydrogen ratio is low
  2. B.there is incomplete combustion
  3. C.there is excess supply of air
  4. D.of presence of impurities of nitrogen and sulfur
Show answer
Correct answer: B. there is incomplete combustion

Naphthalene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, C10H8, with a very high proportion of carbon, so the air around the flame cannot supply enough oxygen to burn all of it to carbon dioxide.

Q337.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · 8 Nov 2020Medium

Which one of the following statements with regard to ultra violet light is NOT correct?

  1. A.It is an electromagnetic wave.
  2. B.It can travel through vacuum.
  3. C.It is a longitudinal wave.
  4. D.Its wavelength is shorter/ smaller than that of visible light.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. It is a longitudinal wave.

Ultraviolet light is a transverse wave, not a longitudinal one, so this statement is the wrong one. In an electromagnetic wave the electric and magnetic fields vibrate at right angles to each other and to the direction the wave travels, which is the definition of a transverse wave.

Q339.General ScienceAsked in: Madhya Pradesh · 6 April 2016, Shift 2Hard

Given unit AT/m defines which term of magnetic circuit?

  1. A.Magnetic flux density (B)
  2. B.Magnetic field strength (H)
  3. C.Magnetic flux
  4. D.Magneto motive force (MMF)
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Magnetic field strength (H)

Ampere-turns per metre, written AT/m, is the unit of magnetic field strength, because H is the magnetomotive force set up per unit length of the magnetic path.

Q340.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 31 Oct 2018, Shift 2Easy

Alkenes, unsaturated hydrocarbons containing a double bond between two carbon atoms, have a general formula, which is:

  1. A.CnH2n+2
  2. B.CnH2n-1
  3. C.CnH2n+1
  4. D.CnH2n
Show answer
Correct answer: D. CnH2n

An alkene carries one carbon-to-carbon double bond, and that bond uses up two hydrogen atoms that a saturated chain would have held, so the formula drops from CnH2n+2 to CnH2n. Putting n equal to 2 gives C2H4, ethene, the simplest alkene; n equal to 3 gives C3H6, propene.
