RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (17-Sep-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

N/m2

Pressure is defined as the force acting perpendicularly per unit area, so pressure = force ÷ area.

Force is measured in newtons (N) and area is measured in square metres (m2), giving the SI unit of pressure as N/m2.

This unit is also called the pascal (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.

Hence, the SI unit of pressure is N/m2.
