Statement I: The length and breadth of a rectangle are increased by 10% and 20% respectively, then its area increases by 23%.
Statement II: In 12 hours, the hour hand and the minute hand coincide 11 times.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Detailed Solution for UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 10 - Question 6

Statement I: The length and breadth of a rectangle are increased by 10% and 20% respectively, then its area increases by 23%.

  • Percentage increment in the area of rectangle=l1 + l2  + (l1 x l2) /100
  • Percentage increment in the area of rectangle=10 + 20  + (10x20) /100
  • Therefore, percentage increment in the area of rectangle = 30+2 =32%

So statement I is incorrect.
Statement II: In 12 hours, the hour hand and the minute hand coincide 11 times.

  • The hands of a clock meet once every hour but between 11:00 and 1:00'o clock, they coincide only once.

UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 10 - Question 11

Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the following question:
Heritage conservation practices improved worldwide after the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) was established with UNESCO’s assistance in 1959. The inter-governmental organisation with 126 member states has done a commendable job by training more than 4,000 professionals, providing practice standards, and sharing technical expertise. In this golden jubilee year, as we acknowledge its key role in global conservation, an assessment of international practices would be meaningful to the Indian conservation movement. Consistent investment, rigorous attention, and dedicated research and dissemination are some of the positive lessons to imbibe. Countries such as Italy have demonstrated that prioritising heritage with significant budget provision pays. On the other hand, India, which is no less endowed in terms of cultural capital, has a long way to go. Surveys indicate that in addition to the 6,600 protected monuments, there are over 60,000 equally valuable heritage structures that await attention. Besides the small group in the service of Archaeological Survey of India, there are only about 150 trained conservation professionals. In order to overcome this severe shortage, the emphasis has been on setting up dedicated labs and training institutions. It would make much better sense for conservation to be made part of mainstream research and engineering institutes, as has been done in Europe.
Increasing funding and building institutions are the relatively easy part. The real challenge is to redefine international approaches to address local contexts. Conservation cannot limit itself to enhancing the art-historical value of the heritage structures, which international charters perhaps overemphasise. The effort has to be broad-based: It must also serve as a means to improving the quality of life in the area where the heritage structures are located. The first task, therefore, is to integrate conservation efforts with sound development plans that take care of people living in the heritage vicinity. Unlike in western countries, many traditional building crafts survive in India, and conservation practices offer an avenue to support them. This has been acknowledged by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage charter for conservation but is yet to receive substantial state support. More strength for heritage conservation can be mobilised by aligning it with the green building movement. Heritage structures are essentially eco-friendly and conservation could become a vital part of the sustainable building practices campaign in future.

UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 10 - Question 15

Consider the following statements about the Draft Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification:

  1. The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change is the nodal Ministry for notifying the EIA Notification, under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.
  2. The public reporting of the environmental violations needs to be mandatorily taken cognizance of by the authorities.
  3. All the off-shore projects, located beyond 12 nautical miles, are exempted from public consultation.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Detailed Solution for UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 10 - Question 15

The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change is the nodal Ministry for notifying the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 (EPA), gives power to the central government to take all measures that it deems necessary or expedient for protecting and improving the quality of the environment, and preventing and controlling abating environmental pollution. So, statement 1 is correct.

  • The EIA Notification seeks to reduce or even remove public participation, and by extension independent expert opinion, from the process of granting environmental clearances to various projects. The public reporting of the environmental violations may also not be taken cognizance of by the authorities. So, statement 2 is incorrect.
  • Exemption from public consultation in certain projects - Section 14 of the Draft provides for exemption from public consultation, thereby limiting the scope of public involvement in districts. All offshore projects, located beyond 12 nautical miles are exempted. So, statement 3 is correct.

Detailed Solution for UGC NET Paper 1 Practice Test - 10 - Question 27

Given,
The average of twelve numbers =39
The average of the last five numbers =35
The average of the first four numbers =40
The fifth number is 6 less than the sixth number and 5 more than the seventh number.
As we know,
Sum = Average × total number
The Sum of the twelve numbers =12×39=468
The sum of the last five number =5×35=175
The sum of the first four number =4×40=160
The sum of the fifth, sixth and seventh number =(468−175−160)=133
Let, the fifth number is x.
Then, the sixth number is (x+6) and the seventh number is (x−5).

The fifth number is 44 and the sixth number is (44+6)=50
Average of fifth and sixth number 
∴ The average of fifth and sixth number is 47.
