RPF Constable sample questions

A few real RPF Constable questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.

General AwarenessSample 1

The zonal railway with its headquarters at Gorakhpur is:

  • A.North Eastern Railway
  • B.Northern Railway
  • C.East Central Railway
  • D.North Central Railway

Solution: North Eastern Railway is headquartered at Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh — which also has one of the world's longest railway platforms.

ArithmeticSample 2

In a train coach, 40% of the passengers are women and there are 54 men. How many passengers are in the coach?

  • A.80
  • B.90
  • C.108
  • D.120

Solution: If 40% are women, 60% are men. So 60% of the total = 54, giving total = 54 / 0.6 = 90.

General Intelligence & ReasoningSample 3

Platform : Station :: Runway : ?

  • A.Road
  • B.Airport
  • C.Harbour
  • D.Garage

Solution: A platform is a part of a station, just as a runway is a part of an airport.

About the RPF Constable exam

A national recruitment exam that selects Constables and Sub-Inspectors for the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF), the armed security force of the Indian Railways responsible for protecting railway property, passengers and the passenger area.

What is the RPF Constable exam?

RPF Constable is the Indian Railways' recruitment exam, conducted through the Railway Recruitment Boards, for the posts of Constable and Sub-Inspector in the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Railway Protection Special Force (RPSF). The RPF is the armed security force of the Indian Railways, charged with protecting railway property, passengers and the passenger area across the country's railway zones. Because it needs only a Class 10 qualification and offers a secure uniformed-services career, it attracts lakhs of young aspirants each drive.

The selection has three parts: a Computer Based Test (CBT), a Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Measurement Test (PET/PMT), and document verification. The CBT is a 90-minute, 120-question paper across three sections — General Awareness, Arithmetic and General Intelligence & Reasoning — set at matriculation level. Because it has a one-third negative mark and is speed-based, accuracy under time is what decides your CBT score, and the CBT score is what decides final merit.

How to clear RPF Constable

General Awareness carries the most questions (50 of 120), so it is the highest-return section — build static GK across polity, history, geography, science, railways and current affairs steadily over time. Arithmetic and Reasoning are the most scoreable with practice: drill percentage, ratio, interest, speed, time and work, mensuration, analogy, series, coding-decoding, blood relations and direction until they are quick and automatic.

Because every wrong answer costs a third of a mark, disciplined attempting matters: solve what you know quickly and avoid blind guesses. Full-length timed mocks build the stamina and section-balance the 90-minute paper demands, and after the CBT, consistent running and physical practice prepares you for the PET and the height/chest measurements of the PMT.

The RPF Constable & Sub-Inspector Computer Based Test has 120 objective questions carrying 120 marks, to be answered in 90 minutes. There are three sections: General Awareness (50 questions), Arithmetic (35 questions) and General Intelligence & Reasoning (35 questions). Each correct answer earns 1 mark and each wrong answer carries a one-third (1/3) negative mark; unanswered questions score zero. The paper is set at the matriculation (Class 10) level. Candidates who clear the CBT go on to the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), the Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and document verification, which are qualifying, with final merit decided by the CBT score. On ExamguruX, each question is scored +1 with a 1/3 penalty for a wrong answer, mirroring the real marking, and every question has a worked solution.

Duration: 90 minutes (CBT).

The first 12 weeks

A plan a fresher can actually follow

  1. Month 1

    Understand the paper and build your base

    Read the official pattern first, then make a realistic subject map for 3 subjects. Begin with General Awareness, Arithmetic, General Intelligence & Reasoning. Focus on concepts before speed.

    Take one diagnostic topic test. Its purpose is to find gaps, not to judge your score.
  2. Month 2

    Finish the core syllabus through practice

    Cover the remaining syllabus, while revising Month 1 every week. Move from untimed questions to short timed sets.

    Keep a single error log: concept missed, why it happened and the correct method.
  3. Month 3

    Build exam temperament with mocks

    Use the real exam time limit (90 minutes (CBT)) in full-length practice. Review every mock longer than it took to attempt it; the review is where improvement happens.

    Turn each weak area from your error log into a 30–45 minute repair session.

Your repeatable week

The study loop that makes revision stick

  1. 1
    Learn

    Read one focused concept block and make a short revision sheet.

  2. 2
    Solve

    Immediately answer topic questions; do not wait until you have ‘finished’ the syllabus.

  3. 3
    Review

    Log mistakes by concept, not just by score. Revisit them after 2–3 days.

  4. 4
    Simulate

    Use a timed section or mock to practise decisions under the clock.

Mock-test ladder

Don’t start with a full mock every day

  • Month 1: topic tests after each completed concept.
  • Month 2: one timed sectional test each week, plus error-log revision.
  • Month 3: one or two full mocks weekly under the real 90 minutes (CBT) clock.

RPF Constable-specific priorities

What to focus on as you move through the plan

  1. 1

    Master General Awareness first

    At 50 of 120 questions it is the biggest section. Learn static GK — polity, history, geography, science, railways and current affairs — a little every day and revise it regularly rather than cramming.

  2. 2

    Make Arithmetic automatic

    Drill percentage, ratio, average, simple and compound interest, speed-time-distance, time and work and basic mensuration until Class-10 sums are fast and error-free.

  3. 3

    Sharpen Reasoning patterns

    Practise analogy, classification, number and letter series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, ranking and simple syllogisms — these are quick marks once the patterns are familiar.

  4. 4

    Respect the negative marking

    At −1/3 per wrong answer, blind guessing is costly. Attempt when you can eliminate to a confident choice, and leave questions you genuinely can't judge.

  5. 5

    Practise speed with full mocks

    The 90-minute paper is speed-based. Take full timed mocks to learn section balance and pacing, and review the solution for every question you miss.

  6. 6

    Train for the PET/PMT early

    The CBT is only the first stage. Build a running and fitness routine well ahead so the physical efficiency test and the height/chest measurements are a formality, not a fresh challenge.

Final 7 days

Revise your short notes and error log; do not begin major new topics.

Take only the number of mocks you can properly review; protect sleep and routine.

Confirm the official admit-card instructions, reporting time, centre and permitted items.
