RRB NTPC GK Questions 2026

Static General Knowledge makes up the rest of the General Awareness section in RRB NTPC, and the notices name its topics: General Science and Life Science up to Class 10, History of India and the freedom struggle, Physical, Social and Economic Geography of India and the world, Indian Polity and Governance, Indian Economy, Art and Culture, Indian Literature, Monuments and Places, Flora and Fauna, Famous Personalities, the UN and other world organisations, environmental issues, Transport Systems in India, Important Government and Public Sector Organisations, Common Abbreviations, and Basics of Computers and Computer Applications. RRB frames these as short factual questions: the unit of a physical quantity, the year of a battle, the article of the Constitution, the river a city stands on, the full form of an abbreviation, the headquarters of an organisation. GK24's GK notes on this page cover each topic in English and Hindi, arranged the way the syllabus lists them, with the facts RRB tends to ask placed first. Work through one topic at a time, note the lists (national parks, dances, articles, schedules, awards), and pair each topic with its quiz on GK24 to check what has stayed with you.

Q2026.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2023, GATMedium

In an electric circuit, a wire of resistance 10 Ω is used. If this wire is stretched to a length double of its original value, the current in the circuit would become :

  1. A.half of its original value.
  2. B.double of its original value.
  3. C.one-fourth of its original value.
  4. D.four times of its original value.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. one-fourth of its original value.

Stretching the wire to twice its length makes its resistance four times larger, so at the same voltage the current falls to a quarter.

Q2028.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2017, GATEasy

In a solenoid, the current flowing through the wire is I and number of turns per unit length is n. This gives a magnetic field B inside the solenoid. If number of turns per unit length is increased to 2n, what will be the value of magnetic field in the solenoid ?

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

The field inside a long solenoid is directly proportional to the number of turns per unit length, so doubling n doubles the field.

Q2029.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2018, GATEasy

Light year is a unit for measurement of

  1. A.age of universe
  2. B.very small time intervals
  3. C.very high temperature
  4. D.very large distance
Show answer
Correct answer: D. very large distance

A light year is the distance light travels in empty space in one year, so despite its name it measures length, not time.

Q2033.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2023, GATEasy

A mass is attached to a spring that hangs vertically. The extension produced in the spring is 6 cm on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is one-sixth of its value on the surface of the Earth. The extension of the spring on the Moon would be :

  1. A.6 cm
  2. B.1 cm
  3. C.0 cm
  4. D.36 cm
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 1 cm

The stretch of a spring is proportional to the force on it, and the weight of the mass on the Moon is one-sixth of its weight on Earth.
