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.

RRB NTPC GK Questions with Answers

Q4641.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2026, GATMedium

Superphosphate of lime—a phosphate fertilizer—is obtained by the reaction of

  1. A.calcium phosphate with sodium hydroxide
  2. B.calcium phosphate with sulphuric acid
  3. C.calcium phosphate with hydrogen chloride
  4. D.calcium phosphate with nitric acid
Show answer
Correct answer: B. calcium phosphate with sulphuric acid

Treating rock phosphate, which is insoluble calcium phosphate, with sulphuric acid gives superphosphate of lime, a fertiliser whose phosphorus plants can absorb.

Q4642.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2026, GATMedium

Consider the following statements regarding nitrogen : I. Nitrogen contains a triple bond. II. Nitrogen is a triatomic gas. III. Forces acting between nitrogen molecules are weak van der Waals forces. Which of the statements given above are correct?

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

A nitrogen molecule, N₂, is diatomic, not triatomic; its two atoms are joined by a triple bond, and the molecules attract each other only weakly.

Q4645.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2018, GATEasy

Which one of the following is called dry ice?

  1. A.Solid carbon dioxide
  2. B.Liquid carbon dioxide
  3. C.Liquid nitrogen
  4. D.Liquid ammonia
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Solid carbon dioxide

It is called dry ice because, at ordinary pressure, it changes directly from solid to gas (sublimation) instead of melting, so it never makes anything wet.

Q4647.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is not correct for light rays?

  1. A.Light travels at different speeds in different media.
  2. B.Light travels at almost 300 million metres per second in air.
  3. C.Light speeds down as it leaves a water surface and enters the air.
  4. D.Light speeds up as it leaves a glass surface and enters the air.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Light speeds down as it leaves a water surface and enters the air.

Air is optically rarer than water, so light speeds up, not slows down, when it passes from water into air.

Q4648.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2022, GATEasy

A mass M is dragged by a pulley on a horizontal plane by a force anti-parallel to its displacement. The work done in pulling the mass M is

  1. A.zero
  2. B.positive
  3. C.infinite
  4. D.negative
Show answer
Correct answer: D. negative

When the force acts opposite to the displacement, the angle between them is 180°, and work W = F d cos 180° = −F d. Work done by a force is the product of the force, the displacement and the cosine of the angle between them.

Q4652.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2026, GATEasy

Consider the following statement : "Acids are substances that dissociate in water to give hydrogen ions H⁺ (aq), and bases are substances that produce hydroxyl ions OH⁻ (aq)." The above statement is based on which one of the following concepts?

  1. A.Brønsted-Lowry concept
  2. B.Lewis acid-base concept
  3. C.Arrhenius concept
  4. D.Conjugate acid-base concept
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Arrhenius concept

Defining acids and bases by the H⁺ and OH⁻ ions they release in water is exactly the theory Svante Arrhenius gave in 1884.

Q4653.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2026, GATHard

Consider the following statements regarding the properties of hydrogen and water : I. Tritium, the isotope of hydrogen, is radioactive and emits low energy alpha particles. II. In the gas phase, the structure of water is linear. III. The basic principle of a hydrogen economy is the transportation and storage of energy in the form of liquid or gaseous molecular hydrogen. Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?

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

Tritium gives out beta particles, not alpha particles, and a water molecule is bent, not linear, so these two statements are wrong.

Q4659.DefenceMedium

In the context of India's maritime vision, MAHASAGAR stands for which of the following?

  1. A.Maritime Advancement for Harmony, Security and Growth Around Regions
  2. B.Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions
  3. C.Maritime Alliance for Shared Growth and Regional Resilience
  4. D.Mutual Assistance for Harbour Security and Growth Across Regions
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions

This is the expansion given for MAHASAGAR, the vision that Lokayan-2026 is said to advance as INS Sudarshini sails through international waters as an ambassador of India, winning goodwill and building maritime partnerships.
