The RRB NTPC CBT 1 exam includes a significant portion of General Knowledge (GK) and General Studies (GS), with 40 questions dedicated to General Awareness in the 100-question paper. Below, I’ve compiled a list of 50 important GK and GS questions with answers, focusing on topics frequently asked in the RRB NTPC CBT 1 exam, such as Current Affairs, History, Geography, Polity, Economics, General Science, and Static GK. These questions are based on previous year trends, syllabus requirements, and common topics as per the RRB NTPC 2025 exam pattern.
Since the request is for the “most 50 questions,” I’ve prioritized high-weightage topics (e.g., Current Affairs: 11–15 questions, General Science: up to 10th CBSE level, History, and Geography) and included a mix of static and dynamic questions likely to appear in the 2025 exam.
