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.

Q1710.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2020, GATMedium

Which one of the following statements about sound is NOT correct?

  1. A.Sound travels at a speed slower than the speed of light
  2. B.Sound waves are transverse waves
  3. C.Sound waves are longitudinal waves
  4. D.Sound travels faster in moist air than in dry air
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Sound waves are transverse waves

This statement is false, because sound in air travels as longitudinal waves, not transverse waves. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium vibrate back and forth along the direction in which the wave moves, forming compressions and rarefactions.

Q1711.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATEasy

Power of a lens of focal length 25 cm is

  1. A.+2.5 Dioptre
  2. B.+3 Dioptre
  3. C.+4 Dioptre
  4. D.+5 Dioptre
Show answer
Correct answer: C. +4 Dioptre

Power is the reciprocal of the focal length in metres, so P = 1 ÷ 0.25 m = +4 D. The power of a lens tells how strongly it converges or diverges light.

Q1713.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-I 2025, GATHard

Two conducting wires of the same material and of equal lengths and equal diameters are first connected in parallel and then in series in a circuit across the same potential difference. The ratio of heat produced in parallel and series combinations is

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

With the same voltage, heat varies inversely as resistance, and the parallel resistance is one-fourth of the series resistance. The two wires are identical, so each has the same resistance R. In series the total resistance is R + R = 2R; in parallel it is R/2.

Q1715.General ScienceAsked in: NDA · NDA-II 2021, GATMedium

Cornea in human eye

  1. A.is a light sensitive screen.
  2. B.is a muscular diaphragm.

  2. B.pH 4.5 and 3.5, respectively
  3. C.pH 9.5 and 4.5, respectively
  4. D.pH 7.0 and 8.0, respectively
Show answer
Correct answer: A. pH 2.0 and 7.9, respectively

Pepsin works in the strongly acidic stomach, while trypsin works in the mildly alkaline small intestine. Pepsin is secreted by the chief cells of the stomach as inactive pepsinogen, which hydrochloric acid from the parietal cells turns into pepsin.
