UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statement A is correct since with equal maxima the candidate corresponding to the larger ratio part has the higher score. Statement C is true because when group sizes differ, the overall average must weight each group average by its size. D is also correct since percentages place different exams on a common scale and make comparisons meaningful. E is correct because ratios and percentages adjust for different totals and show relative performance better than raw marks alone. B is false because simply averaging group means without considering sizes can give wrong overall values, so A, C, D and E only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete; although it lists A and C, it omits D and E and thus fails to acknowledge the role of percentages and relative measures in comparing performance. As a result, it does not give the full conceptual picture required.

Option B:
Option B is also incomplete because it leaves out E and includes only A, C and D, so it does not stress the comparative advantage of ratios and percentages over raw scores in unequal situations.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because it includes only C, D and E and omits A, losing the simple but important fact that the greater ratio component corresponds to higher marks under equal maxima. The combination is therefore not fully correct.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it brings together the ideas of ratio comparison, weighted averaging and the usefulness of percentages and relative measures, while excluding B, which misapplies the averaging rule. It mirrors the reasoning needed for NET data interpretation problems on exam marks.
