UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E correctly describe relational reasoning problems, whereas D and F are false. Exam puzzles commonly use transitive relations like taller, older or to the left of, and diagramming or listing helps manage multiple constraints. Information is often embedded in short narratives or tables in Paper 1. “Likes” is not necessarily transitive in real life, and ignoring constraints generally leads to wrong or incomplete solutions, so D and F are incorrect.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because it omits E, which captures the exam format in which relational data are presented. While A, B and C describe the nature and strategies of such problems, they do not mention their typical presentation in UGC NET questions. Therefore A, B and C only is not fully adequate.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it gathers all the true statements and excludes D and F, which misrepresent the nature of real-life relations and the importance of constraints. It offers both conceptual and practical guidance for solving comparative reasoning problems in the test. Hence A, B, C and E only is the right combination.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because it includes F, suggesting that constraints can be safely ignored, which contradicts the logic of these puzzles. It also omits A, so the general idea of comparative relations is not explicitly stated. Thus B, C, E and F only cannot be chosen.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect as it includes F and omits B, removing the emphasis on transitivity while admitting a harmful suggestion about ignoring constraints. This makes A, C, E and F only an unsuitable answer.
