UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A and B are correct because headings define the meaning of each cell and percentages may reveal relative importance even when absolute numbers differ. Statement D is true in noting that trends over time are often more insightful than isolated figures, and E correctly states that approximation is acceptable when explicitly permitted, supporting speed in timed tests. Statement C is false because the largest absolute number may not correspond to the largest percentage if totals differ across rows. Therefore, the combination A, B, D and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete since it omits E and thus does not include the practical exam strategy of using approximations where allowed, which is important in NET-style data interpretation questions.

Option B:
Option B is also incomplete because although A, B and E are true, it excludes D and so fails to mention the value of analysing trends across years or categories, a key skill in interpreting tables.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because it does not include A and thereby ignores the fundamental role of headings, and it still omits the explicit rejection of C. Although B, D and E are true, leaving out A reduces completeness.

Option D:
Option D is correct as it unites all four true statements and excludes C, which oversimplifies the relationship between absolute numbers and percentages. It matches the way candidates are expected to reason with tabular data in the exam.

Statements A, B and D accurately describe key capabilities of spreadsheet software, while statement C is false. Spreadsheets are designed to arrange data in tabular form, support formulas and functions and enable what-if analysis. They also provide tools for generating charts and graphs from tabular data, so claiming that charts cannot be generated is incorrect. Thus, the combination A, B and D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it includes only A and B and omits D. Although A and B are true, D is also correct in highlighting the role of spreadsheets in data analysis and scenario testing. Leaving out a true statement makes this option incomplete.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it selects B and D only and omits A. Statement A is fundamental, describing the tabular structure of spreadsheets. Any answer that excludes this essential property fails to capture the full set of correct statements.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it groups A, B and D together and excludes C. It recognises that spreadsheets offer tables, functions and analytical tools. By leaving out the false statement denying chart creation, it accurately reflects spreadsheet features.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats all four statements as correct, thereby accepting C. Since C misrepresents spreadsheet capabilities regarding chart generation, the entire combination becomes invalid.
