Which one is the modern 'ShrutiSwar Division System' as per following list :
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: A
The modern shruti-swar division places the seven notes at the shruti positions 1, 5, 8, 10, 14, 18 and 21, the first option. This is the scheme in which the twenty-two shrutis are counted for the notes of the saptak.
The other lists have six numbers or other positions: they do not give a seven-note division, or they place the notes at the old positions. So only the first option is the one in the key. The octave is divided into twenty-two shrutis, and the scheme in the key fixes the seven notes among them.

Locate the Raga 'Kalavati' from the undermentioned combination of notes :
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: B
Raga Kalavati is located in the combination G P D N D P with the Ni marked komal (underlined), the second option. Kalavati has a komal Nishad, and the underlined N shows it.
The first option has no komal notes, the third has a komal Ga, and the fourth has komal Dha, Ni and Dha. Those do not match the notes of Kalavati. The notes of a raga are written in the order of its phrases, and the underline on a letter shows that the note is komal.

Answer: B
The notes of Raga Basant Mukhari are given in the second option, with komal Re and komal Ni in the lower octave: R N S R G, R G M G R S. The underlined notes are komal.
The first option has a tivra Ma and komal Dha and Ni in the upper octave, the third is a shorter phrase without the opening S, and the fourth has only a komal Dha. Their note sequences do not match Basant Mukhari. The underline on a letter in these options marks a komal note.

Mark the correct answer :
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: B
The correct sequence is Medini, Aanandini, Dipani, Bhawni, Tarawali, which is option (B). It is the order of the shruti jatis on the successive shrutis in the ancient scheme, and the key accepts only this arrangement. The other options (A), (C) and (D) contain the same five names, but in an order that places Dipani, Bhawni or Tarawali at a different step, so their order is not the traditional one. This question belongs to Part I of the paper, the section common to all candidates, which tests general knowledge of Indian music: its theory, history, instruments, texts and artists. The answer follows the final UGC answer key issued after the grievances, and a candidate should learn the keyed answer together with the facts that separate it from the other options, since the options in this subject are often names or terms of the same kind.

In which capacity, 'Pancham' is transferred from its own place in Madhyam Gram ?
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: D
Pancham is moved from its own place in the Madhyama gram by apakarsha, which is option (D). In the Madhyama gram the Pancham is lowered by one shruti, and the lowering is called apakarsha, while a raising is utkarsha. So Tivratam (A), Utkarsh (B) and Mridutva (C) are not the term for the lowering of this note. This question belongs to Part I of the paper, the section common to all candidates, which tests general knowledge of Indian music: its theory, history, instruments, texts and artists. The answer follows the final UGC answer key issued after the grievances, and a candidate should learn the keyed answer together with the facts that separate it from the other options, since the options in this subject are often names or terms of the same kind.

Raagaang is taken from which of the main Raaga
UGC NET - 2013,

The raagaang is taken from the main raga Rewaa, which is option (A). The notation shown is the characteristic phrase of the raga Rewa, and the raga's aanga is taken from it.

'Pramaan Shruti' is placed on which Shruti ?
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: C
The Pramaan Shruti is placed on the 16th shruti, which is option (C). In the Shadja grama the Pancham stands on the 17th shruti, and in the Madhyama grama the Pancham is lowered by one shruti to the 16th. This lowered Pancham is the pramana shruti. The 14th (A), 15th (B) and 17th (D) shrutis are not its position. This question belongs to Part I of the paper, the section common to all candidates, which tests general knowledge of Indian music: its theory, history, instruments, texts and artists. The answer follows the final UGC answer key issued after the grievances, and a candidate should learn the keyed answer together with the facts that separate it from the other options, since the options in this subject are often names or terms of the same kind.

Which one is in right form of 'Praman Shruti' ?
UGC NET - 2013,
Answer: C
The correct form is 4-3-2-4-3-4-2, which is option (C). It gives the shrutis of the notes Sa to Ni in the Madhyama grama, where the Pancham has three shrutis and the Dhaivat has four, which is the lowered Pancham of the pramana shruti. The pattern 4-3-2-4-4-3-2 (A) is the Shadja grama. Options (B) and (D) are not the pattern of either grama. This question belongs to Part I of the paper, the section common to all candidates, which tests general knowledge of Indian music: its theory, history, instruments, texts and artists. The answer follows the final UGC answer key issued after the grievances, and a candidate should learn the keyed answer together with the facts that separate it from the other options, since the options in this subject are often names or terms of the same kind.
