Identify the correct descending order in respect of ethnic population in the Jafana province of Sri Lanka.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Following the official key, the correct descending order of ethnic population in the Jaffna province of Sri Lanka is Tamils, Muslims, Sinhalese, Christians. Jaffna is the Tamil heartland, so the Tamils are by far the largest group.

The options that put Sinhalese first or Muslims first, or put Christians at the top, do not fit a province where Tamils form the great majority.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

Bandung Conference refers to meeting of which group of countries ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The Bandung Conference of 1955 was a meeting of Asian and African countries, and among the options it points to the Asian countries. It laid the ground for the Non-Aligned Movement.

It was not a meeting of European or Latin American countries, and the African countries alone did not make up the conference, so the Asian option is the one keyed.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

Which one of the International Organization proposed at Bretton Woods, was never created ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The International Trade Organization was proposed at Bretton Woods, but it was never created, because the US did not ratify the Havana Charter. Trade was instead governed by the GATT.

The GATT, the WTO and the IMF all came into existence, the GATT in 1947, the IMF in 1945 and the WTO in 1995, so they are not the answer.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

187.

Which one of the following is not the goal of terrorism ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

A car bomb is not a goal of terrorism; it is a method or means used by terrorists. The goals are things like political independence, weakening the government and freeing prisoners.

So option C is the one that names a tactic and not an aim, which is why it is the answer to 'not the goal'.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

Answer: D

Detente did not imply either of the first two statements, so the answer is 'Both (A) and (B)'. Detente did not mean the end of all differences between the US and the USSR on world issues, and it was not mainly a limited understanding to contain China.

Statement (C), the realisation of the dangers of an uncontrolled nuclear and strategic arms race, was part of what detente did imply, so it is not the answer.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

Assertion (A) : Economic Globalization across the world is heavily concentrated among few key economies.

Reason (R) : The powerful social forces favour the advance of economic globalization.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

Both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion. Economic globalisation is concentrated among a few key economies, and powerful social forces do favour its advance.

However, the support of those social forces is not the reason why it is concentrated in a few economies, so (R) is not the reason for (A). That makes option C correct.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.

List - IList - II
a. HIVi. Energy security
b. Global warmingii. Political security
c. Oil and Natural Gasiii. Environment security

Codes : a b c d

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The correct matching is a-iv, b-iii, c-i, d-ii, which is option B. HIV is a health security concern, global warming is an environment security concern, oil and natural gas relate to energy security, and governance relates to political security.

The other codes pair at least one concept with the wrong concern, for instance code A gives HIV political security.

This is a factual recall item, so the keyed option is identified by matching the person, place, date or term in the stem, and each remaining option fails that match for the reason given above.
