Q1. A shunt signal may be provided below नीचे एक शंट सिग्नल प्रदान किया जा सकता है
- A) Outer Signal
- B) Last Stop Signal
- C) Starter Signal
- D) All of These
Correct Answer: All of These
Explanation: All of These
Q2. When a shunt signal is cleared, train may pass through the signal at जब शंट सिग्नल साफ हो जाता है, तो ट्रेन सिग्नल से गुजर सकती है।
- A) “Not more than 15 km/h, prepared to stop short of an obstruction.”
- B) Any speed, provided the driver can stop within the distance they can see to be clear
- C) Not more than 15 km/h, only for propelling moves
- D) Line speed as shown in the Working Timetable
Correct Answer: “Not more than 15 km/h, prepared to stop short of an obstruction.”
Explanation: This option is correct because a cleared shunt signal typically authorizes only a restricted, low speed, often defined in rules as not more than 25 km/h (or a similar national limit) and requires the driver to proceed prepared to stop short of any obstruction. Unlike a main running signal, a shunt signal may not have full route locking and track‑clear assurance to the same extent, so the driver must assume there could be vehicles, open points, or staff on or near the line.\n\nThe key ideas are: (1) speed is capped at a low value that allows short stopping distances; (2) the driver must stay alert for ground staff, hand signals, points indicators, and buffer stops; and (3) the movement is usually for shunting, attaching, detaching, or positioning stock rather than running a full‑line service. This combination of a low speed limit and a defensive “prepared to stop” mindset is what keeps shunt moves safe in congested or complex track layouts.
Q3. Whenever points/signals/block instrument is disconnected by SI/ESM, SM shall ensure that ________________ is given by SI/ESM. जब भी एसआई/ईएसएम द्वारा पॉइंट्स/सिग्नल/ब्लॉक इंस्ट्रूमेंट को डिस्कनेक्ट किया जाता है, तो एसएम यह सुनिश्चित करेगा कि एसआई/ईएसएम द्वारा ________________ दिया गया है।
- A) Reconnection notice
- B) Disconnection notice
- C) None of the above
- D) A & B
Correct Answer: Disconnection notice
Explanation: Disconnection notice
Q4. Shunt signal may be provided below शंट सिग्नल नीचे प्रदान किया जा सकता है
- A) Last Stop Signal
- B) Starter Signal
- C) Calling on Signal
- D) All of These
Correct Answer: All of These
Explanation: All of These
Q5. Whenever a shunt signal is cleared, it indicates that जब भी शंट सिग्नल क्लियर होता है, तो यह इंगित करता है कि
- A) Stop Signal is Cleared
- B) Home Signal is Cleared
- C) Starter Signal is Cleared
- D) Block Signal is Cleared
Correct Answer: Block Signal is Cleared
Explanation: Block Signal is Cleared
Q6. Whenever a shunt signal is provided below the main signal, the shunt signal controls जब भी मुख्य सिग्नल के नीचे शंट सिग्नल दिया जाता है, तो शंट सिग्नल नियंत्रण करता है।
- A) Shunting Movements
- B) Block Movements
- C) Level Crossings
- D) None of These
Correct Answer: Shunting Movements
Explanation: Shunting Movements
Q7. Whenever a shunt signal is cleared, the signal aspect shall be जब भी शंट सिग्नल क्लियर किया जाता है, तो सिग्नल का पहलू यह होगा
- A) Yellow light
- B) Green light
- C) Red light
- D) White light
Correct Answer: White light
Explanation: White light
Q8. Whenever a shunt signal is cleared, the aspect of the shunt signal shall be जब भी शंट सिग्नल क्लियर किया जाता है, तो शंट सिग्नल का पहलू यह होगा
- A) Proceed
- B) Stop
- C) Attention
- D) Warner
Correct Answer: Proceed
Explanation: The correct answer is A) Proceed.Why Option A is CorrectIn railway signaling, a shunt signal has two positions: On (Stop) and Off (Proceed).When "On" (at rest): It displays a Stop aspect, indicating that shunting movement must not pass the signal.When "Off" (cleared): It displays the Proceed aspect. For a position-light shunt signal, this is shown by two white lights slanted at a 45-degree angle. This authorizes the loco pilot to move past the signal for shunting purposes with caution.
Q9. Shunt Signal controls शंट सिग्नल नियंत्रण
- A) Block Movements
- B) Level Crossings
- C) Shunting Movements
- D) None of These
Correct Answer: Shunting Movements
Explanation: Shunting Movements
Q10. Whenever a shunt signal is cleared, the train shall pass through the signal at जब भी शंट सिग्नल साफ हो जाता है, ट्रेन को सिग्नल से होकर गुजरना होगा।
- A) Proceed
- B) Attention
- C) Warner
- D) Caution
Correct Answer: Caution
Explanation: Caution
