Indian Railways MCQ — 51 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The cited expenditure for Plan Head-53, Customer Amenities, was Rs. 35,207 crore during the last three years and the current year up to 1 April 2026. Rs. 35,720 crore transposes the digits, Rs. 53,207 crore confuses the plan head number with the expenditure figure, and Rs. 3,520.7 crore shifts the decimal scale by one place.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

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.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because 1,338 stations had been identified under the scheme. Statement 2 is correct because modernisation work had been completed at 208 stations. Statement 3 is wrong because completion at 208 stations does not mean completion at all 1,338 identified stations.

Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because Indian Railways ran 13,198 daily passenger trains in 2023-24. Statement 2 is correct because 4,111 of them were Mail/Express trains. Statement 3 is wrong because 4,111 is well below half of 13,198, so combinations including the more-than-half claim are not correct.
