Assertion (A) : Helping the needy, homeless, abused and street children should be made compulsory to all the government employees and business holders for the nation's progress.

Reason (R) : It is very difficult to change the attitude of the people.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are correct.
B.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.
C.(A) is wrong but (R) is correct.
D.(A) is correct but (R) is wrong.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

The key gives (A) is correct but (R) is wrong.

The assertion states a social goal: care of the needy, homeless, abused and street children is a national responsibility, and the key accepts that those in government service and business should take part in it.

The reason, that it is very difficult to change the attitude of people, is not accepted, because attitudes can be changed by education and example. So the reason is wrong and the options that call it correct fail.

Assertion (A) : Extension and transfer of technology are also used interchangeably, but the two are same.

Reason (R) : Extension is an educational process, transfer of technology includes additional functions of input supply and agricultural services.
Codes :

A.(A) and (R) are not correct.
B.(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
C.(A) and (R) are correct.
D.(A) is correct but (R) is not correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The assertion is not correct and the reason is correct, so the answer is (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.

The two terms are used interchangeably, but the statement that they are the same is not correct. Extension is an educational process that teaches farmers and families, while transfer of technology includes extra functions such as supplying inputs and agricultural services, as the reason says.

The options that accept the assertion fail, and the one that rejects both denies the correct reason.

Assertion (A) : Entrepreneurs are born and not made.

Reason (R) : Entrepreneurs are also made by the financial and promotional support given by the government.
Codes :

A.(A) is correct, (R) is wrong.
B.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.
C.(A) is not correct, (R) is correct.
D.Both (A) and (R) are correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The assertion is not correct and the reason is correct, so the answer is (A) is not correct, (R) is correct.

Entrepreneurs are not only born. Training, experience and the right conditions can develop the qualities of an entrepreneur, so the saying that they are born and not made is not accepted.

The reason is correct: financial and promotional support from the government, such as loans, subsidies and training, helps to create entrepreneurs. The options that accept the assertion are wrong.

An evaluation begins with the objectives, then selects a sample, collects the information, analyses the data, looks for significant changes and ends with the report.

The other options put collection before the objective, the report before the analysis, or sampling after data are collected, so they break this order.

Sampling follows the objective because the sample is chosen to answer the question the evaluation was designed for.

Mobile creches look after the children of construction workers and so are matched with the child's health. The International Wool Secretariat is matched with exports of woollen goods, and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research is matched with research. UNESCO is the body for education, science and culture.

The other codes give ICAR regulation or UNESCO exports, which do not fit.

Mobile creches began for the children of women labourers on building sites, so their role is the care and health of the child.
