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.

An object is placed between infinity and the pole (P) of a convex mirror. The position of the image is

  1. A.between pole (P) and the focus (F), behind the mirror
  2. B.between the focus (F) and infinity, behind the mirror
  3. C.between the pole (P) and the infinity, in front of the mirror
  4. D.at the focus (F), behind the mirror
Show answer
Correct answer: A. between pole (P) and the focus (F), behind the mirror

The refractive index of crown glass is close to 3/2. If the speed of light in air is c, then the speed of light in the crown glass will be close to

  1. A.(3/2)c
  2. B.(4/9)c
  3. C.(2/3)c
  4. D.(9/4)c
Show answer
Correct answer: C. (2/3)c

Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in air to its speed in the medium, so the speed in glass is c divided by 3/2, which is (2/3)c. The absolute refractive index of a medium is n = c/v, where c is the speed of light in…
