UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and E faithfully describe how blood relation problems are framed and solved: they use family links, family trees or diagrams, include relations by marriage and often span several generations with qualifiers like paternal or maternal. Statement D is false because in many questions genders must be inferred from context or from terms like “son”, “daughter”, “niece” or “nephew”, and are not always explicitly labelled. Thus, the combination A, B, C and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete as it leaves out E and therefore underplays the complexity added by multiple generations and qualifiers, which are common in higher-level relation questions.

Option B:
Option B is also incomplete because it omits C, ignoring the fact that in-law relations are not blood ties but are nonetheless part of such problems. Without C, the picture of relation types is partial.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it includes all the true statements about content and strategy while excluding D, which incorrectly asserts that gender is always explicitly given. It matches the structure of blood relation items used in NET.

Option D:
Option D is wrong as it contains D, the false claim about always explicit gender, and omits A, thereby failing to mention basic family links. This combination mixes an error with an omission.
