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.

Q1481.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2020, GATEasy

A lens has a power of +2.0 Dioptre. Which one of the following statements about the lens is true ?

  1. A.The lens is concave and has a focal length of 0.5 metre
  2. B.The lens is convex and has a focal length of 2.0 metre
  3. C.The lens is convex and has a focal length of 0.5 metre
  4. D.The lens is concave and has a focal length of 2.0 metre
Show answer
Correct answer: C. The lens is convex and has a focal length of 0.5 metre

A positive power means a converging (convex) lens, and f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m. The power of a lens is the reciprocal of its focal length in metres: P = 1/f. Its SI unit is the dioptre (D), and 1 D is the power of a lens…

SONAR is a device that is used to measure the distance of underwater objects by a ship. Which of the following types of waves does it use for this purpose?

  1. A.Infrasonic waves
  2. B.Sound waves in audible range for human beings
  3. C.Ultrasonic waves
  4. D.All of the above
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Ultrasonic waves

SONAR sends out ultrasonic pulses and times their echo from underwater objects. SONAR stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging.

Q1484.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2023, GATEasy

Which one of the following statements is true ?

  1. A.The force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon is greater than the force of gravity of the Moon on the Earth.
  2. B.The force of gravity of the Moon on the Earth is greater than the force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon.
  3. C.The force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon and of the Moon on the Earth are equal in magnitude and are in the same direction.
  4. D.The force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon and of the Moon on the Earth are equal in magnitude but are in opposite directions.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. The force of gravity of the Earth on the Moon and of the Moon on the Earth are equal in magnitude but are in opposite directions.

This follows from Newton's third law and his law of gravitation. Newton's law of gravitation gives the force between two bodies as F = Gm₁m₂/r².

Q1486.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2019, GKHard

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

  1. A.Fischer projection represents the molecule in an eclipsed conformation.
  2. B.Newman projection can be represented in eclipsed, staggered and skew conformations.
  3. C.Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation.
  4. D.In Sawhorse projections, the lines are inclined at an angle of 120° to each other.
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation.

. A Fischer projection draws a molecule as a cross: the horizontal bonds point towards the viewer and the vertical bonds point away.

Q1488.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2025, GKEasy

In a simple astronomical telescope, the objective and the eyepiece used respectively, are:

  1. A.a convergent lens and a divergent lens.
  2. B.a divergent lens and a divergent lens.
  3. C.a divergent lens and a convergent lens.
  4. D.a convergent lens and a convergent lens.
Show answer
Correct answer: D. a convergent lens and a convergent lens.

. A simple astronomical (refracting) telescope uses two convex, that is convergent, lenses.

Q1489.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-I 2019, GKHard

In which of the following, functional group isomerism is not possible?

  1. A.Alcohols
  2. B.Aldehydes
  3. C.Alkyl halides
  4. D.Cyanides
Show answer
Correct answer: C. Alkyl halides

Functional group isomers have the same molecular formula but different functional groups. Alkyl halides such as C2H5Cl can only contain the halogen group, so no other functional group can be built from the same formula; they show chain and position isomerism instead.

Q1490.General ScienceAsked in: CDS · CDS-II 2020, GKEasy

Apart from hyper acid secretion, peptic ulcers are also developed due to bacterial infection. The causative agent is

  1. A.Helicobacter pylori
  2. B.E. coli
  3. C.Streptococcus pneumoniae
  4. D.Salmonella typhimurium
Show answer
Correct answer: A. Helicobacter pylori

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the lining of the stomach. It survives the strong acid by producing the enzyme urease, which makes ammonia around it, and it inflames and weakens the protective mucus layer, so acid can damage the wall and cause a peptic ulcer.

  3. C.Spinal shaped, Branched and Uninucleate
  4. D.Cylindrical, Branched and Uninucleate
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Cylindrical, Branched and Uninucleate

Cardiac muscle, found only in the wall of the heart, is made of cylindrical cells that branch and join with one another, and each cell usually has one central nucleus.
