(d) Fixed cost
(e) Break even analysis (f) SWOT

A.(a) and (f)
B.(c) and (f)
C.(a), (b) and (f)
D.(e), (f) and (b)

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

Financial management uses variable and fixed costs, the trial balance and break-even analysis, since these are accounting and cost tools. Performance appraisal is a tool of personnel management, which reviews how well staff are doing, and SWOT is a tool of strategic planning that lists strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. So the two that are not used for financial management are (c) and (f).

The affective components of workers are

I. Attitudes
II. Skills
III. Feelings
IV. Interests

A.I, II and III are correct.
B.I, III and IV are correct.
C.II, III and IV are correct.
D.I, II and IV are correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The affective domain consists of attitudes, feelings and interests, that is, the emotional side of a worker. Skills belong to the psychomotor domain, since they concern doing, and knowledge belongs to the cognitive domain. Options that include II (skills) are therefore wrong. The answer is I, III and IV. In Bloom's scheme of domains, the affective domain deals with attitudes, values, feelings and interests, while knowledge goes with the cognitive domain and skills with the psychomotor domain, so the option that includes skills (II) fails.

Assertion (A) : Motion against gravity are slower than those with gravity.

Reason (R) : A good example is pushing chopped vegetable into a bowl kept at a lower level.

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: D

Motions made against gravity need more effort and are slower than motions with gravity, which is why work simplification advises using gravity. The example given of pushing the chopped vegetables into a bowl kept at a lower level is a motion with gravity, which illustrates the point. The key accepts both statements as correct. Pushing a load downhill uses gravity and is quick, while lifting it uphill takes effort and time, which is why the motions are arranged to work with gravity, as in dropping the chopped vegetable into a lower bowl. Both statements are accepted by the key.

Assertion (A) : Ergonomics is also referred to as 'Human Factors'.

Reason (R) : The focus of the study is on worker fatigue.

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Ergonomics is also called human factors, so the assertion is correct. The reason is wrong, since its focus is the fit between the worker, the work and the environment, with the aim of efficiency, comfort and safety, and fatigue is only one of the concerns. So (A) is correct but (R) is wrong. Ergonomics studies people in relation to their work, with attention to the design of tools, workplaces and tasks for comfort, safety and efficiency. Calling its focus worker fatigue narrows it too much, and so the reason is false although the assertion is true.

Answer: B

The official key orders the general objectives of ergonomics as comfort first, then health and safety, then efficiency and last productivity. So the order is II, III, I, IV. Option A puts efficiency at position 1, where the right order has comfort. Option C puts productivity at position 2, where the right order has health and safety. Option D puts productivity at position 1, where the right order has comfort.

According to Mundel, each higher level bring about changes in motion in the level below it. Arrange the changes in the proper sequence :

I. Body portions and motions
II. Working arrangements and equipment.
III. Finished product
IV. Raw materials
V. Production sequence

A.I, II, III, IV, V
B.I, III, V, II, IV
C.I, II, V, III, IV
D.V, III, II, I, IV

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Mundel's hierarchy of motion economy starts with body portions and motions and moves up through working arrangements and equipment, production sequence, finished product and raw materials, each higher level changing the one below it. So the order is I, II, V, III, IV. Option A puts the finished product at position 3, where the right order has the production sequence. Option B puts the finished product at position 2, where the right order has working arrangements and equipment. Option D puts the production sequence at position 1, where the right order has body portions and motions.

The code is v, iii, i, ii. Option A fails at the first pair, where it joins ordering with a fixed interaction pattern and not with a meaningful sequence. Option B fails at the first pair, where it joins overlapping with elaboration and not with concurrent attention. Option C fails at the first pair, where it joins overlapping with a fixed interaction pattern and not with concurrent attention.
