Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Osama bin Laden was killed by the US Navy SEALs, the third option, in a raid on his compound at Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011.

The Gestapo was Nazi Germany's secret police, 'Air tigers' is not the name of the unit, and Cobra is an Indian paramilitary force, so they did not carry out the raid.

The raid, code-named Operation Neptune Spear, was carried out by the US Navy SEALs on 2 May 2011 on a compound at Abbottabad, Pakistan. The Cobra force is a unit of the Indian CRPF, the Gestapo was the secret police of Nazi Germany, and 'Air tigers' is not the name of any such unit.

Which of the following is not the member of SAARC ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Myanmar is not a member of SAARC, the second option. The members are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and Myanmar has only asked for observer status.

Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Pakistan are all full members, so they are not the answer.

The seven original members of SAARC (1985) were Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan joined in 2007. Myanmar remains outside the group, although it has links with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Which one of the following location is known for Organized Crime and Narco Terrorism ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The Golden Triangle, the second option, is the area where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet; it is known for opium and heroin production, organised crime and narco-terrorism.

The Gulf of Mannar and the Andaman Islands are in Indian seas and are known for marine life and strategic position, and the Somalian Sea is known for piracy rather than narcotics.

The Golden Triangle, where the Ruak and Mekong rivers meet, was for decades one of the world's main opium-producing areas. Its heroin flows through Thailand and Southeast Asia, and trafficking networks are tied to insurgent groups, which gives it the name for organised crime and narco-terrorism.

'Commonwealth' group of countries refers to

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The Commonwealth is a group of former British colonies, the second option, plus some other States that joined later.

It is not a group of neutral countries (that describes non-alignment), of developing countries (a wider and different grouping) or of communist countries.

The Commonwealth of Nations began as the British Commonwealth and today includes most former British colonies, with a few members that were not British colonies. Neutral countries are grouped as the non-aligned, developing countries as the G-77 and similar groups, and communist States had the Warsaw Pact and Comecon.

The process of money laundering, largely involves

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The process of money laundering largely involves the conversion of black money into white money, the first option: money earned illegally or kept off the books is passed through a series of transactions so that it looks legitimate.

The third option, conversion of drug profits, describes one source of such money, but the key takes the general statement. Earning interest abroad is a different matter, and converting white money into black money is the reverse of laundering.

Which of the following is not part of Comprehensive security ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The keyed answer is Biodiversity, the second option. Comprehensive security covers food security, health security and similar human and economic dimensions in addition to the military, and biodiversity is treated as a subject of environmental conservation rather than as a dimension of security in the key.

Food security and health security are named parts of comprehensive security, and national interest is the objective that security serves. A reviewer may wish to note that both biodiversity and national interest could be argued for this question.

Piracy is rampant in Ocean areas of

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Piracy is rampant in Somali waters, the third option, in the Gulf of Aden and off the east coast of Africa, where ships have been hijacked for ransom.

Indian waters, English waters and the Arctic are not areas where piracy has been a serious problem on this scale.

Somali piracy grew after the collapse of the central government in 1991, when armed gangs seized ships in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean for ransom, and navies of many countries, India's among them, began anti-piracy patrols there. The other waters named are not centres of piracy comparable with the Somali coast.
