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.

Q2555.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2019, GATMedium

Consider the following statements about a solenoid: 1. The magnetic field strength in a solenoid depends upon the number of turns per unit length in the solenoid 2. The magnetic field strength in a solenoid depends upon the current flowing in the wire of the solenoid 3. The magnetic field strength in a solenoid depends upon the diameter of the solenoid Which of the statements given above are correct?

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

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is B = μ₀nI, where n is the number of turns per unit length and I is the current, so the field depends on these two and not on the diameter.

Q2556.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2019, GATMedium

Which of the following are the characteristics of electromagnetic waves? 1. They are elastic waves. 2. They can also move in vacuum. 3. They have electric and magnetic components which are mutually perpendicular. 4. They move with a speed equal to 3 lakh meters per second. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

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

Electromagnetic waves need no medium, so they travel through vacuum, and they consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate at right angles to each other and to the direction of travel.

Q2558.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATEasy

In a typical flower, germinating pollen grains pass through several parts of the gynoecium before they reach the ovule. A list of the parts of gynoecium is given below in different combinations. Choose the combination that represents the correct sequence of pollen tube pathway/journey:

  1. A.Style, Stigma, Ovary
  2. B.Stigma, Style, Ovary
  3. C.Pistil, Stigma, Ovary
  4. D.Ovary, Pistil, Style
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Stigma, Style, Ovary

A pollen grain lands on the stigma, grows a pollen tube that travels down through the style, and enters the ovary to reach an ovule, where fertilisation takes place.

Q2559.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2022, GATEasy

A DC generator works on the principle of

  1. A.Ohm's law
  2. B.Joule's law of heating
  3. C.Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction
  4. D.None of the above
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction

A generator, whether AC or DC, produces electricity because a coil rotating in a magnetic field has a changing magnetic flux through it, and Faraday's laws say that a changing flux induces an electromotive force.
