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.

Q5790.General ScienceAsked in: UPSC CAPF · CAPF 2019, Paper IEasy

Brilliance of diamond is due to

  1. A.interference of light
  2. B.diffraction of light
  3. C.polarization of light
  4. D.total internal reflection of light
Show answer
Correct answer: D. total internal reflection of light

Q5791.General ScienceAsked in: UPSC CAPF · CAPF 2019, Paper IEasy

Which one of the following is NOT an electromagnetic wave ?

  1. A.Light wave
  2. B.Radio wave
  3. C.Sound wave
  4. D.Micro wave
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Sound wave

Sound is a mechanical wave that needs a medium to travel, while the other three are electromagnetic waves. Sound travels as a longitudinal wave of compressions and rarefactions in air, water or solids, which is why it cannot pass through a vacuum.

Q5793.General ScienceAsked in: UPSC CAPF · CAPF 2019, Paper IEasy

Which one of the following is NOT true for an electromagnetic wave ?

  1. A.Electromagnetic wave transports energy and momentum
  2. B.Electromagnetic wave can be polarized and reflected
  3. C.Electromagnetic wave is longitudinal
  4. D.Electromagnetic wave propagation is described by the varying electric and magnetic fields
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Electromagnetic wave is longitudinal

Electromagnetic waves are transverse, not longitudinal, so this statement is false. In an electromagnetic wave the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate at right angles to each other and both at right angles to the direction in which the wave travels.
