Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The 8th of March is celebrated as International Women's Day. It marks the achievements of women and the call for equality.


International Environment Day is on 5 June and Energy Day is on a different date. Sanitation is observed on another day, so none of these others is the 8th of March. The date goes back to early twentieth century women's movements and was adopted by the United Nations, which is why it is observed worldwide.

HDI is calculated using

(a) Educational attainment
(b) Life expectancy
(c) Sex ratio
(d) Real GDP
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: C

The Human Development Index is calculated from educational attainment, life expectancy and real GDP per capita, which are (a), (b) and (d). They stand for knowledge, a long and healthy life and a decent standard of living.


The sex ratio is not one of the components of the HDI, so the options containing (c) are wrong. The index combines the three dimensions as an average, so a measure of the sex ratio, which is a demographic count, does not enter its calculation.

Reason (R) : Self Help Groups use Micro credit for promoting entrepreneurship.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

Both statements are true and the reason is the right reason. Micro-credit gives poor women small loans without the collateral banks ask for, and so is an important means of economic empowerment of women.


Self Help Groups are the channel through which the credit is used to promote entrepreneurship, so the reason explains how the assertion works. The options calling either statement false, or the reason not the right one, are rejected.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The keyed sequence is d, c, e, b, a and f: the situation is studied, local leaders are identified, a planning committee is set up, the important needs and interests of the people are determined, the objectives are set up, and a system to prioritise problems is developed.


The sequence in the second option puts the system to prioritise problems before the objectives, which has some logic, but the key takes the order as given. The other options begin with the objectives or end with the study of the situation, which is clearly wrong.

Arrange the following phases of diffusion of innovation model of adoption of technology in sequential order.

a. Decision
b. Confirmation
c. Persuasion
d. Knowledge
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The phases of the diffusion of innovation model in order are knowledge, persuasion, decision and confirmation, which is d, c, a, b. The adopter first learns of the innovation, forms an attitude towards it, decides to adopt or reject it, and finally seeks confirmation of that decision.


The options that place confirmation before the decision, or the decision first, reverse the order of Rogers's stages. Rogers described these as stages in an individual's adoption of a new idea, and the sequence cannot start with confirmation.
