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.

Q1301.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2017, GATMedium

The time period of a simple pendulum made using a thin copper wire of length L is T. Suppose the temperature of the room in which this simple pendulum is placed increases by 30°C, what will be the effect on the time period of the pendulum ?

  1. A.T will increase slightly
  2. B.T will remain the same
  3. C.T will decrease slightly
  4. D.T will become more than 2 times
Show answer
Correct answer: A. T will increase slightly

Heat makes the copper wire expand a little, and a longer pendulum swings a little more slowly. The time period of a simple pendulum is T = 2π√(L/g), so it grows with the square root of the length.

Which one of the following statements about energy is correct?

  1. A.Energy can be created as well as destroyed.

  3. C.Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
  4. D.Energy cannot be created but can be destroyed.

Q1304.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2025, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is NOT correct ?

  1. A.An ammeter is always connected in series in the circuit to measure the current
  2. B.A Voltmeter is always connected in parallel in a circuit to measure the voltage
  3. C.A voltmeter has a high resistance and an ammeter has a low resistance
  4. D.A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance
Show answer
Correct answer: D. A voltmeter has a low resistance and an ammeter has a high resistance

This reverses the truth: a voltmeter has a very high resistance and an ammeter a very low one. An ammeter measures the current flowing through a circuit, so it is placed in series and the whole current passes through it.
