UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

Statements A, B and D accurately reflect common coding–decoding practices. A describes a typical letter-shift pattern used in many exam questions. B explains substitution coding where fixed word–symbol mappings are used. D is correct because analysing one clear example often reveals the pattern for others. C is false because the position of a letter in the word may affect its code, and E is false since different coding questions may use different patterns within the same paper. Therefore A, B and D only are correct.

Option A:
Option A is incomplete as it ignores D and so underplays the importance of pattern discovery from a given example, which is essential in solving such questions.

Option B:
Option B is correct because it includes all the standard features of these questions—letter shifting, substitution and pattern deduction—while excluding C and E, which express unsafe assumptions about position independence and uniform patterns.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since it accepts E (false) and omits A (true), so it cannot be correct.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it includes E (false) and omits B (true), so it cannot be correct.
