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

Q4963.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2025, GKEasy

A body floats in a liquid if the buoyant force is :

  1. A.equal to its weight.
  2. B.less than its weight.
  3. C.greater than its weight.
  4. D.zero.
Show answer
Correct answer: A. equal to its weight.

A floating body is in equilibrium, so the upward buoyant force exactly balances its weight. By Archimedes' principle, a body in a liquid is pushed up by a force equal to the weight of the liquid it displaces.

Q4964.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2025, GKEasy

Which of the following are the different parts of a human brain ?

  1. A.Forefront brain, Standard brain and Hind brain
  2. B.Fore brain, Median brain and Rear brain
  3. C.Fore brain, Mid brain and Hind brain
  4. D.Precursor brain, Mean brain and Hind brain
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Fore brain, Mid brain and Hind brain

These are the three main divisions of the human brain. The fore brain is the largest part.

Q4965.Computer AwarenessAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2026, GKMedium

Which of the following computer languages is/are assembly language(s) ?

1. Python

2. Java

3. x86

4. MIPS

Select the answer using the codes given below :

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

x86 and MIPS assembly are low-level languages written for particular processor families, while Python and Java are high-level languages. An assembly language uses short mnemonics such as MOV, ADD and JMP that stand directly for a processor's machine instructions, so each family of processors has its own.

Q4968.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2017, GKMedium

Infrared, visible and ultraviolet radiations/light have different properties. Which one of the following statements related to these radiations/light is not correct?

  1. A.The wavelength of infrared is more than that of ultraviolet radiation.
  2. B.The wavelength of ultraviolet is smaller than that of visible light.
  3. C.The photon energy of visible light is more than that of infrared light.
  4. D.The photon energy of ultraviolet is lesser than that of visible light.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. The photon energy of ultraviolet is lesser than that of visible light.

Ultraviolet photons carry more energy than visible light, not less, so this statement is wrong. The energy of a photon is E = hc/λ, so a shorter wavelength means higher energy.

Q4971.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2021, GKMedium

What is the location of intercalary meristem in plants?

  1. A.Base of the leaves or internodes
  2. B.Stems or roots
  3. C.Tips of stems and leaves
  4. D.Base of flower pedicel
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Base of the leaves or internodes

Intercalary meristem lies between mature tissues, at the base of leaves and of internodes. Meristems are tissues whose cells keep dividing.

Q4973.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2024, GKEasy

An antibacterial enzyme present in saliva and tears is called

  1. A.ribozyme
  2. B.lipase
  3. C.lysozyme
  4. D.isomerase
Show answer
Correct answer: C. lysozyme

Lysozyme kills bacteria by breaking down their cell walls, and it is found in saliva, tears and mucus. Lysozyme attacks peptidoglycan, the main material of the bacterial cell wall, by splitting the bonds between its sugar units; the weakened cell then bursts.

Q4974.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2024, GKMedium

Which of the following statements for persons suffering from presbyopia is/are correct?

1. They cannot distinguish colours.

2. It usually develops with ageing.

3. They wear either bi-focal lenses consisting of both concave and convex lenses or progressive lenses.

Select the answer using the code given below :

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

Presbyopia is an age-related loss of near focusing, and it is corrected with bifocal or progressive lenses. With age the ciliary muscles weaken and the eye lens loses its flexibility, so the power of accommodation falls and the near point moves away.

Q4975.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2025, GKMedium

Which one among the following statements is not correct?

  1. A.All bodies in the universe attract each other due to the gravitational force.
  2. B.Newton's law of gravitation follows from Newton's laws of motion.
  3. C.The value of g (acceleration due to gravity) at the centre of the Earth is zero.
  4. D.Mass and weight are measured in different units.
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Newton's law of gravitation follows from Newton's laws of motion.

Newton's law of gravitation is an independent law of nature; it cannot be derived from his three laws of motion.

Q4977.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2026, GKHard

Which of the following statements relating to the Modern Periodic Table is/are correct ?

1. The atomic radius increases on moving from left to right across a period.

2. Germanium, Tellurium, and Copper are transition metals.

3. The two isotopes of Chlorine occupy the same position in the periodic table.

4. The metallic property of Ca, Ba, Be and Sr follows the order : Be < Ca < Sr < Ba.

Select the answer using the codes given below :

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

Only statements 3 and 4 are true; statements 1 and 2 are false. The modern periodic table arranges elements by atomic number.
