RRB Group D 05 Aug All Shift Science Exam Analysis 2026: The Science section in the RRB Group D 05 August 2026 All Shift Exam was largely based on NCERT fundamentals and previous year trends. Questions were asked from Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Science, with a balanced mix of theoretical concepts and simple calculations. Candidates who had revised Class 9–10 Science thoroughly found the section easy to moderate.
Below are the important questions and concepts discussed by Yogesh Sir during the exam review.

The RRB Group D 5 August 2026 Science section covered questions from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Major topics included pH, sound, SI units, force, motion, work & energy, electricity, atomic structure, chemical reactions, tissues, reproduction, decomposers, isotopes, isobars, compounds vs mixtures, and ecology. Most questions were concept-based with a few straightforward numerical problems.
Several questions were asked from organic chemistry and molecular formulas.
C₆H₆ is Benzene.
C₂H₄O represents Acetaldehyde (Ethanal), which contains the aldehyde functional group.
Molecular formula questions required candidates to calculate the empirical formula first and then determine the actual molecular formula using molecular mass.
Example:
Molecular Mass = 60
Composition:
Carbon = 40%
Hydrogen = 6.7%
Oxygen = 53.3%
Final Molecular Formula = C₂H₄O₂
A direct question was asked on pH.
HCl is a strong acid.
pH of 0.01 M HCl = 2
Acidic solutions always have pH less than 7.
Quick Tip:
Remember the concentration of strong acids to solve pH questions quickly.
Important chemistry reactions included:
Ethene reacts with hydrogen in the presence of a nickel catalyst.
Reaction:
C₂H₄ + H₂ → C₂H₆ (Ni Catalyst)
This process is known as Hydrogenation.
Electrolyte used:
Acidified Copper Sulphate (CuSO₄) Solution
The best method to protect iron from rusting in coastal regions is:
Galvanization (Zinc Coating)
Iron and Zinc are extracted by:
Reduction using Carbon or Carbon Monoxide
The SI unit of force is:
Newton (kg·m/s²)
Derived from Newton's Second Law:
F = ma
An object moving at:
Speed = 50 m/s
Straight line
shows Uniform Linear Motion.
Formula:
Displacement = Velocity × Time
Example:
Velocity = 50 m/s
Time = 10 s
Answer = 500 metres
Example discussed:
16 m in 4 s
16 m in 2 s
Total Distance = 32 m
Total Time = 6 s
Average Speed =
32 ÷ 6 = 5.33 m/s
If an object moving at 25 m/s comes to rest in 5 seconds, then
Final Velocity = 0 m/s
A conceptual question was asked.
Mass remains constant
Weight changes because gravity varies from place to place.
Formula:
Work = Force × Displacement
Given:
Force = 5 N
Distance = 50 m
Answer:
250 Joules
Six resistors of 3 Ω connected in parallel:
Equivalent Resistance = 0.5 Ω
Maximum force acts when:
Wire is perpendicular (90°) to the magnetic field.
Formula:
F = BIL sinθ
Questions were asked from optics.
Reason:
Atmospheric Refraction
Parallel rays striking a concave mirror meet at the:
Principal Focus
The angle between the incident and emergent ray is called:
Angle of Deviation
Important facts asked:
Nucleus is positively charged
Most of the atomic mass lies inside the nucleus.
Most of the atom is empty space.
Limitation:
Could not explain electron stability.
Questions included:
An unfertilized egg survives for about 24 hours after ovulation.
Implantation of the embryo occurs in the uterus.
Importance:
Produces genetic variation
Improves diversity among organisms.
Organisms that break down dead plants and animals are called:
Decomposers
They recycle nutrients back into the soil.
Important tissue questions:
| Tissue | Function |
| Columnar Epithelium | Absorption in intestine |
| Cuboidal Epithelium | Mechanical support & secretion |
| Nervous Tissue | Conducts electrical impulses |
Known as:
Suicidal Bags of the Cell
Function:
Digest proteins
Break down lipids
Digest carbohydrates
Destroy damaged cell organelles
Primary function:
Transmission of electrical impulses throughout the body.
Two major causes:
Biotic Factors
Abiotic Factors
Purpose:
Increase milk production
Improve disease resistance
Better immunity
Higher productivity

According to Yogesh Sir, candidates should:
Complete one chapter thoroughly before moving to the next.
Solve chapter-wise MCQs immediately after finishing the topic.
Practice previous year RRB questions regularly.
Attempt full-length mock tests after syllabus completion.
Focus on speed, accuracy, and revision of NCERT Class 9–10 Science concepts.
The RRB Group D 05 August 2026 Science paper focused on conceptual understanding rather than lengthy calculations. Questions were mainly asked from NCERT-based Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, including pH, force, work & energy, electricity, reproduction, tissues, atomic models, chemical reactions, ecology, and basic numerical problems. Candidates with strong fundamentals and regular practice could attempt this section with high accuracy.
