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

Q481.Computer AwarenessHard

In which view of MS PowerPoint should you work if you want the title font and the background of every slide in the presentation to change at once?

  1. A.Normal View
  2. B.Slide Sorter View
  3. C.Outline View
  4. D.Slide Master View
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Slide Master View

The slide master holds the formatting that every slide built on it inherits — title font, body font, bullet style, background, colour scheme and the position of a logo — so one edit there updates the whole deck.

Q488.Computer AwarenessAsked in: Delhi · 18th June 2019, Shift 3Hard

Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect?
(i) Pressing Ctrl + N in Microsoft PowerPoint adds a new slide to your presentation.
(ii) Presentation can be saved as PDF in Microsoft PowerPoint 2016.

  1. A.Only (i) is false
  2. B.Only (ii) is false
  3. C.Both (i) and (ii) are false
  4. D.Neither (i) nor (ii) is false
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Only (i) is false

Statement (i) is wrong because Ctrl + N opens a brand new, empty presentation; the key that inserts a new slide into the open presentation is Ctrl + M. Statement (ii) is true: PowerPoint 2016 can save or export a presentation as a PDF through Save As or Export, a…

Q490.General ScienceMedium

The resistance of a uniform metallic wire is

  1. A.directly proportional to its area of cross section
  2. B.inversely proportional to its length
  3. C.directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of cross section
  4. D.independent of both length and area of cross section
Show answer
Correct answer: C. directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of cross section

The resistance of a wire equals the resistivity of the material multiplied by the length and divided by the area of cross section.

Q492.General ScienceHard

Two magnetic field lines can never intersect each other because

  1. A.the field would then be zero at that point
  2. B.there would be two directions of the field at the same point, which is impossible
  3. C.the lines are imaginary
  4. D.the magnetic poles always exist in pairs
Show answer
Correct answer: B. there would be two directions of the field at the same point, which is impossible

The tangent drawn to a magnetic field line at any point gives the direction of the field at that point.

Q494.General ScienceEasy

Electromagnetic induction was discovered by

  1. A.Hans Christian Oersted
  2. B.Michael Faraday
  3. C.Alessandro Volta
  4. D.James Watt
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Michael Faraday

In 1831 Faraday showed that when the magnetic flux linked with a closed coil changes, whether by moving a magnet, moving the coil or changing the current in a nearby coil, a current is induced in it.

Q495.General ScienceMedium

Fleming's left hand rule is used to find the direction of

  1. A.the induced current in a generator
  2. B.the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field
  3. C.the magnetic field around a solenoid
  4. D.the potential difference across a resistor
Show answer
Correct answer: B. the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field

In Fleming's left hand rule the forefinger, the middle finger and the thumb of the left hand are held at right angles to one another: the forefinger points along the magnetic field, the middle finger along the current, and the thumb then gives the direction of the force.

Q496.General ScienceMedium

The direction of the magnetic field produced around a straight current-carrying conductor is given by

  1. A.Fleming's left hand rule
  2. B.the right hand thumb rule
  3. C.Fleming's right hand rule
  4. D.Lenz's law
Show answer
Correct answer: B. the right hand thumb rule

Hold the conductor in your right hand with the thumb stretched along the direction of the conventional current; the way your fingers curl round the wire is the direction of the concentric magnetic field lines.

Q499.General ScienceAsked in: RRB Group D · 10 Oct 2018, Shift 2Medium

Which of the following is NOT based on the heating effect of current?

  1. A.Electric heater
  2. B.Electric bulb (with filament)
  3. C.Electric iron
  4. D.Microwave
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Microwave

A microwave oven does not cook by passing a current through a resistance. It generates microwaves in a magnetron, and these waves make the water molecules in the food rotate rapidly, so the food heats from within by dielectric heating.

Q500.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 01 Sep 2019, Shift 2Easy

What is the work done to move a unit charge from one point to another in an electric circuit carrying some current, between those two points?

  1. A.Pressure distance
  2. B.Potential difference
  3. C.Potential distance
  4. D.Pressure difference
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Potential difference

The potential difference between two points in a circuit is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to the other.
