UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

In partnership, profit is shared in proportion to the product of capital and time, so A is correct. If A’s capital is twice B’s for the same duration, A’s share becomes double B’s, making B correct. Partnership questions are naturally modelled with ratio and proportion, so E is also true. C is wrong because different times change the effective contribution, and D is wrong since a sleeping partner is still entitled to profit on capital. Thus the combination of A, B and E only is correct.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it captures the relationship of profit with both capital and time and notes the use of ratios, while excluding statements that misrepresent time dependence and sleeping partners’ shares. It fully matches how partnership questions are treated in aptitude tests.

Option B:
Option B omits E and therefore ignores the explicit link with ratio–proportion techniques, even though A and B themselves are true. Because it does not include all correct statements from the list, it is incomplete.

Option C:
Option C wrongly includes C, which claims time does not matter when capital is equal, contradicting the basic formula profit ∝ capital × time. Even though it contains A and E, adding C makes the overall combination incorrect.

Option D:
Option D uses B and E but unnecessarily adds D, which misstates that sleeping partners get no profit share. Since D is false, this combination cannot be accepted as correct.
