Q1According to the Ministry of Railways reply released on 11 February 2026, about how much new railway track was added during 2014-2025?
The Ministry of Railways reply released on 11 February 2026 gives the figure as about 35,000 km of new railway tracks added during 2014-2025. The figures about 25,000 km, about 45,000 km and about 55,000 km do not match this cited ministry figure.
Q2With reference to India's first indigenous bullet train being developed by BEML, consider the following statements: 1. The 'B28' designation refers to a Bharat-made Bullet with a speed of 280 kmph. 2. The bullet train is being built at BEML's Aditya plant located in Chennai. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Only statement 1 is correct. The 'B28' bullet train stands for Bharat made Bullet, 280 kmph, and is targeted for completion by March 2027. Statement 2 is incorrect: the bullet train is being built at BEML's Aditya plant in Bengaluru (not Chennai), which was inaugurated by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on 25 April 2026. The contract was, however, awarded by the Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in October 2024.
Q3With 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.
Q4Assertion: As on 31 March 2024, 62,253 running track kilometres of Indian Railways were electrified. Reason: The figure 62,253 denotes the electrified route kilometres of Indian Railways on that date. Select the correct answer.
The Assertion is false because the sourced figure is 62,253 electrified route kilometres, not electrified running track kilometres. The Reason is true because the Year Book gives 62,253 as the electrified route-kilometre length on 31 March 2024.
Q5For Indian Railways locomotive stock as on 31 March 2024, which sequence correctly moves from the included electric-locomotive count to the overall locomotive count?
The correct sequence is 10,675 electric locomotives followed by 15,110 total locomotives, because electric locomotives are included within the overall locomotive stock. Reversing the figures makes the included category larger than the total. Treating 10,675 as the total and 15,110 as electric also reverses the sourced categories. Calling 10,675 diesel locomotives is not supported by the cited fact, which identifies that figure as electric locomotives.
