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.

Statement 1 is true, but West Bengal, not Rajasthan, has the longest international border, and Sikkim is not the only State bordering just one State, since Meghalaya touches only Assam.

Q5909.Indian HistoryAsked in: UPSC Civil Services · CSE Prelims 2020, GS Paper IEasy

With reference to the history of India, "Ulgulan" or the Great Tumult is the description of which of the following events?

  1. A.The Revolt of 1857
  2. B.The Mappila Rebellion of 1921

Ulgulan, meaning "the great tumult", is the name given to the Munda uprising led by Birsa Munda in the Ranchi region.

Q5910.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2018, GATMedium

Which one of the following devices is non-ohmic ?

  1. A.Conducting copper coil
  2. B.Electric heating coil
  3. C.Semi conductor diode
  4. D.Rheostat
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Semi conductor diode

A diode does not obey Ohm's law: the current through it is not proportional to the voltage across it. An ohmic conductor gives a straight-line graph of current against voltage, so its resistance stays constant at a fixed temperature.

Q5914.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2021, GATEasy

Solder is an alloy of

  1. A.Cu and Sn.
  2. B.Fe and Zn.
  3. C.Pb and Sn.
  4. D.Ag and Zn.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Pb and Sn.

Traditional solder is an alloy of lead and tin, often in a ratio of about 60 parts tin to 40 parts lead.

Q5915.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2022, GATEasy

A pressure cooker cooks food faster by

  1. A.increasing the boiling point of water
  2. B.decreasing the boiling point of water
  3. C.increasing the melting point of water
  4. D.decreasing the melting point of water
Show answer
Correct answer: A. increasing the boiling point of water

The trapped steam raises the pressure inside the cooker, and at higher pressure water boils at a higher temperature, so food cooks faster.

Q5916.GeographyAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2023, GATMedium

The process of Podsolization is predominantly found in:

  1. A.Equatorial forest
  2. B.Monsoon forest
  3. C.Taiga forest
  4. D.Mediterranean forest
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Taiga forest

Podzolisation is the typical soil-forming process under the cool, moist coniferous forests of the taiga. In the taiga, cold winters slow down decay, and the needles of pine, spruce and fir form an acidic litter on the ground.

Q5917.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2023, GATEasy

Consider the following reaction : 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂ The respective state of HgO, Hg and O₂ in the above reaction is

  1. A.Liquid, solid, gas
  2. B.Solid, solid, gas
  3. C.Liquid, solid, liquid
  4. D.Solid, liquid, gas
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Solid, liquid, gas

Mercury(II) oxide is a red-orange solid, mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature, and oxygen is a gas. This is a thermal decomposition reaction: when mercuric oxide is heated, it breaks down into mercury and oxygen, written with states as 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g).

Q5918.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2024, GATEasy

The mass of 0.5 mole of N₂ gas is

  1. A.7 g
  2. B.14 g
  3. C.21 g
  4. D.28 g
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 14 g

One mole of N₂ weighs 28 g, so half a mole weighs 14 g. A nitrogen molecule is made of two nitrogen atoms, each with an atomic mass of 14 u, so its molecular mass is 28 u and its molar mass is 28 g per mole.

Q5919.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2025, GATMedium

The energy, E, of a photon can be expressed as E = hf where f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant. The dimensions of h are the same as that of

  1. A.linear momentum
  2. B.angular momentum
  3. C.displacement
  4. D.torque
Show answer
Correct answer: B. angular momentum

Planck's constant has the dimensions [ML²T⁻¹], exactly those of angular momentum. From E = hf, h = E / f. Energy has dimensions [ML²T⁻²] and frequency has [T⁻¹], so h has [ML²T⁻²] ÷ [T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹], with the SI unit joule-second.

Q5920.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2026, GATEasy

A person jumps from a height on soft sand. Which one of the following is the correct reason for less likely injury to the person?

  1. A.The sand exerts no reaction force.
  2. B.The sand reduces the change in momentum.
  3. C.The sand increases the impact time.
  4. D.The sand increases the momentum.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. The sand increases the impact time.

Soft sand gives way slowly, so the person is brought to rest over a longer time and the force on the body is smaller.
