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

Q501.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 27 May 2019, Shift 1Easy

If the potential difference across the ends of a conductor is halved, what happens to the current flowing through it?

  1. A.It gets increased
  2. B.It gets doubled
  3. C.It gets decreased
  4. D.It gets halved
Show answer
Correct answer: D. It gets halved

By Ohm's law, at a constant temperature the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends, since the current equals the potential difference divided by the resistance.

Q507.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 22 May 2019, Shift 1Easy

The force of attraction between two objects of masses 'M' and 'm' which lie at a distance 'd' from each other is directly proportional to the-

  1. A.Sum of the masses of objects M + m
  2. B.Product of the masses of objects M × m
  3. C.Difference between masses of objects M – m
  4. D.Sum of the squares of masses of objects M² + m²
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Product of the masses of objects M × m

Newton's universal law of gravitation states that every two bodies attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, written F = GMm/d².

What is the full form of EBCDIC?

  1. A.Extended Binary Control Decimal Interchange Code
  2. B.Enhanced Binary Control Data Interchange Code
  3. C.Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code
  4. D.Enhanced Binary Coded Data Integration Code
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code

EBCDIC is an 8-bit character encoding scheme developed by IBM in 1963 for its mainframe and midrange computers. Because it uses 8 bits for each character it can represent 256 different characters, twice as many as the 7-bit ASCII code, which handles 128.

Q510.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 30 Aug 2019Easy

Which of the following communication modes supports two-way traffic, but in only one direction at a time?

  1. A.Simplex
  2. B.Half-duplex
  3. C.Three-quarters duplex
  4. D.All of these
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Half-duplex

Data can travel between two devices in three modes. In half-duplex mode both devices can send and receive, but only one of them may transmit at any given moment, so the traffic takes turns; a walkie-talkie is the standard example, and older hubs and CB radio worked the same way.

Q511.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 23 May 2019, Shift 1Easy

What is aerobic respiration?

  1. A.Respiration without molecular oxygen
  2. B.Respiration through skin
  3. C.Respiration in presence of oxygen
  4. D.Respiration through gills
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Respiration in presence of oxygen

Aerobic respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen, giving carbon dioxide, water and a large amount of energy.

Q513.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 25 May 2019, Shift 3Easy

To which of the following family of elements does potassium belong?

  1. A.Alkaline earth metals
  2. B.Alkali metals
  3. C.Noble gases
  4. D.Halogens
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Alkali metals

Potassium sits in group 1 of the periodic table along with lithium, sodium, rubidium, caesium and francium, and these six are called the alkali metals because their oxides and hydroxides dissolve in water to give strong alkalis.

Q514.General ScienceAsked in: RRB JE · 25 May 2019, Shift 2Medium

Which of the following attractive forces exists between different layers of graphite?

  1. A.Vander Waals forces
  2. B.Columbic forces
  3. C.Gravitational forces
  4. D.Electromagnetic forces
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Vander Waals forces

Graphite is built of flat sheets of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons, and while the atoms inside a sheet are joined by strong covalent bonds, the sheets themselves are held to one another only by weak van der Waals forces.

Q515.Computer AwarenessAsked in: RRB JE · 01 Sep 2019, Shift 2Medium

In an E-R diagram, multivalued attributes are represented by-

  1. A.Rectangle
  2. B.Dashed ellipse
  3. C.Double ellipse
  4. D.Diamond
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Double ellipse

In an entity relationship diagram each symbol has a fixed meaning, and an attribute that can hold more than one value for the same entity, such as a person's several phone numbers, is drawn as a double ellipse.

Q516.Environment & EcologyAsked in: RRB JE · 22 May 2019, Shift 1Easy

The underground water due to the hot rocks present inside the Earth ____________which can turn the turbines of generators to produce electricity.

  1. A.Turns to ice
  2. B.Turns to steam at high pressure
  3. C.Cools down
  4. D.Flows out
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Turns to steam at high pressure

This describes geothermal energy. Molten rock pushed up from deep inside the Earth collects as hot spots at shallower depths, and groundwater trapped near them is heated until it becomes steam under high pressure.

A computer modem's rating of 56 K refers to its-

  1. A.Modem size
  2. B.Memory size
  3. C.Transmission capacity
  4. D.Transmission speed
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Transmission speed

The 56 K rating of a modem means it can transfer data at up to 56 kilobits per second, so the figure describes speed, not size.
