UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Common property resources are held and used collectively by a defined community under shared rules. Village grazing lands are typically accessed by many households and managed through community norms or institutions.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it illustrates a resource whose use and management are shared among community members, fitting the classic definition of common property.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because a privately owned tube-well is controlled by an individual or family and others can be excluded, so it is private property.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect as a personal computer is normally owned and used by one person or household, not governed by community rules.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since a petrol pump is a commercial, privately operated business where access is based on market transactions rather than communal rights.
