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.

Q3348.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2022, GATMedium

According to Fleming's right-hand rule, if the forefinger indicates the direction of magnetic field and thumb shows the direction of motion of conductor, then the stretched middle finger will predict

  1. A.force acting on the conductor
  2. B.electric field
  3. C.induced current
  4. D.current
Show answer
Correct answer: C. induced current

Fleming's right-hand rule is used for electromagnetic induction, as in a generator, and its middle finger gives the direction of the current induced in the conductor.

Q3349.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2024, GATMedium

Human body works in the pH range of :

  1. A.6.8 - 7.2
  2. B.7.0 - 7.8
  3. C.6.5 - 7.5
  4. D.7.5 - 8.0
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 7.0 - 7.8

NCERT's Class 10 chemistry chapter on acids, bases and salts states that our body works within the narrow pH range of 7.0 to 7.8, which is slightly basic.

Q3351.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2026, GATMedium

In which of the following parts of organisms, the process of gaseous exchange during respiration does not take place?

  1. A.Skin of earthworms
  2. B.Bronchi of humans
  3. C.Gills of Pila
  4. D.Alveoli of humans
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Bronchi of humans

The bronchi only carry air between the windpipe and the lungs; their walls are too thick for oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass into the blood, so no gas exchange happens there.

Q3352.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2026, GATMedium

Which of the following cells form components of complex permanent tissue in plants ? I. Companion cells II. Sieve tubes III. Tracheids IV. Vessels Select the answer using the code given below :

  2. B.II, III and IV only
  3. C.I, III and IV only
  4. D.I and II only
Show answer
Correct answer: A. I, II, III and IV

All four are parts of the two complex permanent tissues of plants: tracheids and vessels belong to xylem, while sieve tubes and companion cells belong to phloem.

Q3353.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2017, GATEasy

Q3356.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2019, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements regarding viruses is not true ?

  1. A.Viruses need living cells to reproduce.
  2. B.All viruses are parasites.
  3. C.Viruses can synthesize their food through photosynthesis.
  4. D.Viruses are similar to chemical substances outside the host.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Viruses can synthesize their food through photosynthesis.

This is false because viruses have no chlorophyll, no cell organelles and no metabolism of their own, so they cannot make food in any way.

Q3357.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2020, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct ?

  1. A.Buckminsterfullerene is an allotrope of carbon
  2. B.Diamond is a good conductor of electricity
  3. C.Graphite is a good conductor of electricity
  4. D.In graphite, each carbon atom is linked to three other carbon atoms
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Diamond is a good conductor of electricity

This statement is false, because diamond is an electrical insulator: all four valence electrons of each carbon atom are locked in covalent bonds, leaving no free electrons to carry current.

Q3358.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATEasy

Twinkling of stars is due to

  1. A.particular frequencies of the starlight.
  2. B.reflection of starlight from the oceanic surface.
  3. C.atmospheric refraction of starlight.
  4. D.magnetic field of Earth.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. atmospheric refraction of starlight.

Starlight bends as it passes through layers of air of changing temperature and density, and because these layers keep moving, the star's apparent position and brightness flicker.

Q3360.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2023, GATMedium

Which one of the following combinations of events represents the correct sequence during reproduction in flowering plants ?

  1. A.Ovule → fruit; egg → embryo; zygote → seed; ovary → egg
  2. B.Embryo → egg; ovary → fruit; ovule → zygote; zygote → seed
  3. C.Ovary → fruit; zygote → egg; embryo → ovule; seed → fruit
  4. D.Egg → zygote; zygote → embryo; ovule → seed; ovary → fruit
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Egg → zygote; zygote → embryo; ovule → seed; ovary → fruit

After fertilisation each structure of the flower turns into the next stage in exactly this way. When a male gamete from the pollen tube fuses with the egg cell inside the ovule, the fertilised egg becomes the zygote.
