UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B, C and D represent correct principles for direction-sense reasoning. A is true since the four main directions are treated as perpendicular axes. B and C correctly describe standard right and left turns from given orientations. D is correct because many questions reduce movements to net north–south and east–west components, often using coordinate or vector-like thinking. E is false because “left of B” depends on B’s facing direction, not necessarily on the geographic west, so A, B, C and D only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete because although A, B and C are true, it omits D, which explains how to compute final displacement using perpendicular components, a key exam technique.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as it includes E, which wrongly interprets “left” as fixed west, and thus mixes one false statement with true ones. This invalidates the combination.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since it drops A and includes only B, C and D, failing to mention the fundamental assumption about the four perpendicular directions that underlies most diagrams.

Option D:
Option D is correct because it collects all four true statements about directions and turning, while excluding E, which confuses relative and absolute positions. It matches how NET questions on direction sense are structured.
