Q1Taking the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor in the direction stated by the Ministry of Railways, which route sequence is correct?
The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor is cited as 1,506 km long from Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal to Dadri, so that is the correct stated route sequence. Dadri to Sonnagar mixes an endpoint of the western corridor with an eastern-corridor endpoint, Ludhiana to Dadri mixes the eastern-corridor origin with the western-corridor destination, and Sonnagar to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal reverses endpoints drawn from different corridors.
Q2Consider the following Assertion and Reason about Indian Railways. Assertion: By the status reported on 1 April 2026, Indian Railways had achieved 100 percent LED lighting across offices, stations and residential colonies. Reason: The same Ministry of Railways release recorded LED lighting only for stations, not for offices or residential colonies. Which of the following is correct?
The Assertion is true because the 1 April 2026 Ministry of Railways release states that Indian Railways had achieved 100 percent LED lighting across offices, stations and residential colonies. The Reason is false because it wrongly narrows the coverage to stations alone and excludes offices and residential colonies, which the cited fact explicitly includes.
Q3In the 11 February 2026 fare comparison, which sequence correctly reconstructs the Vande Bharat fare detail from journey band to accommodation type to approximate fare?
The correct sequence is a 300-400 km Vande Bharat chair-car journey with an average approximate fare of about Rs. 2.19 per passenger kilometre. A 200-300 km executive chair-car journey changes both the distance band and accommodation, Rs. 1.29 changes the fare figure, and a 400-500 km sleeper journey changes the distance band and class.
Q4With reference to the EDFC-WDFC network status as of 19 March 2025, consider the following statements: 1. 2,741 route kilometres had been commissioned and made operational. 2. This was 96.4 percent of the total 2,843 km network. 3. The commissioned length had crossed the full 2,843 km network length. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because 2,741 route kilometres had been commissioned and made operational. Statement 2 is correct because that commissioned length was 96.4 percent of the total 2,843 km EDFC-WDFC network. Statement 3 is wrong because 2,741 route kilometres is below, not above, the total 2,843 km network length.

Indian Railways operated 4 Namo Bharat Rapid Rail services. 2. The count of Namo Bharat Rapid Rail services was more than 4. Which of the statements given above is correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the sourced reply gives the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail count as 4 services as of 11 February 2026. Statement 2 is wrong because the count was exactly 4, not more than 4.
