UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and C correctly summarise how turns work with respect to standard compass directions. Statement E is also true because path-tracing diagrams are a common method for solving such questions. Statement D is wrong, since marking the initial position is in fact a helpful and often necessary step to keep track of the path and final position. Therefore, the only wrong statement in the list is D, and the combination identifying D only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct as it singles out D, which incorrectly downplays the importance of the starting point, and it does not treat any of the true statements as wrong. It cleanly matches the requirement to mark the incorrect statement or statements.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it claims both B and D are wrong. However, B is a correct description of turning right from North, so this option misclassifies a true statement as wrong.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since it labels A and D as wrong; A is correct because East is indeed 90 degrees clockwise from North, so this combination again mixes one false and one true statement as if both were incorrect.

Option D:
Option D is also incorrect, as it puts both C and D in the wrong category; C accurately describes a 180-degree turn from South to North, so treating it as wrong makes this option invalid.
