UGC NET July 2018 Paper 1 Solved Q 31 - 40 | NTA UGC NET Question Paper

The table below embodies data on the production, exports and per capita consumption of rice in country P for the five years from 2012 to 2016. Answer questions 31 - 35 based on the data contained in the table.
Year-wise Production, Exports and Per Capita Consumption of Rice
Year Production (in million Kg) Exports (in million kg) Per Capita Consumption (in kg)
2012 186.5 114 36.25
2013 202 114 35.2
2014 238 130 38.7
2015 221 116 40.5
2016 215 88 42
Where, Per Capita Consumption=(Consumption in million kg) /(Population in million) and consumption (in million kg ) = Production - Exports
31. The Percentage increase in the consumption of rice over the previous year was the highest in which year?
(1) 2013
(2) 2014
(3) 2015
(4) 2016

Answer: (2) 2014
2013 (35.2 * 100 )/ 36.25 - 100 ==> -2.90
2014 (38.7 * 100 )/ 35.2 - 100 ==> +9.94
2015 (40.5 * 100 )/ 38.7 - 100 ==> +4.65
2016 (42 * 100 )/ 40.5 - 100 ==> +4.86
32. What is the population of the country in the year 2014 (in million)?
(1) 2.64
(2) 2.72
(3) 2.79
(4) 2.85

Answer: (3) 2.79
Year 2014 Population (million)
= Consumption (million kg)/ Per Capita Consumption (in kg)
 = (Production - Exports)/ Per Capita Consumption (in kg)
 = 238-130 / 38.7 = 2.79
33. The ratio of exports to consumption in the given period was the highest in the year:
(1) 2012
(2) 2013
(3) 2014
(4) 2015

Answer: (1) 2012
consumption (in million kg )
= Production - Exports Export / consumption
2012: 114/(186.5-114) => 1.58
2013: 114/(202-114) => 1.29
2014: 130/(238-130) =>1.20
2015: 116/(221-116) =>1.10
2016: 88/(215-88) => 0.69
34. In which year, the population of country was the highest?
(1) 2013
(2) 2014
(3) 2015
(4) 2016

Answer: (4) 2016
Population (million)= (Production - Exports)/ Per Capita Consumption (in kg)
2012: => (186.5-114)/36.25 = 2
2013: => (202-114)/35.2 = 2.5
2014: => (238-130)/38.7 = 2.79
2015: => (221-116)/40.5 = 2.59
2016: => (215-88)/42 = 3.02
35. What is the average consumption of rice (in million kg) over the years 2012 - 2016?
(1) 104
(2) 102.1
(3) 108
(4) 100.1

Answer: (4) 100.1
Average consumption = (total Production - total Exports) / 5
 = (1062.6 - 562) / 5
 = 100.1
36. Which of the following statements, regarding the term ICT is/are TRUE?
P: ICT is an acronym that stands for Indian Classical Technology.
Q: Converging technologies that exemplify ICT include the merging of audio-visual, telephone and computer networks through a common cabling system.
(1) P Only
(2) Q Only
(3) P and Q
(4) Neither P nor Q

Answer: (2) Q Only
ICT: Information and communications technology

37. A new Laptop has been produced that weighs less, is smaller and uses less power previous Laptop models. Which of the following technologies has been used to accomplish this?
(1) Universal Serial Bus Mouse
(2) Faster Random Access Memory
(3) Blu Ray Drive
(4) Solid State Hard Drive

Answer: (4) Solid State Hard Drive
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSDs have no moving mechanical components. This distinguishes them from conventional hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks (electromechanical drives).

38. Given the following email fields, which of the email addresses will 'swami' be able to see when he receives the message?
To.. ram@test.com
Cc.. raj@test.com; ravi@test.com
Bcc.. swami@test.com; rama@test.com
(1) ram@test.com
(2) ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com
(3) ram@test.com; rama@test.com
(4) ram@test.com; rama@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com

Answer: (2) ram@test.com; raj@test.com; ravi@test.com
BCC- blind carbon copy: BCC is similar to CC but To or Cc fields recipients will not know that a copy has also sent to BCC address Here swami@test.com is in BCC. Hence he will be able to see all To and CC recipients but they can't see the swami@test.com and rama@test.com
39. Put the following units of storage into the correct order, starting with the smallest unit first and going down to the largest unit:
(a) Kilobyte
(b) byte
(c) Megabyte
(d) Terabyte
(e) Gigabyte
(f) Bit
Give your answer from the following code:
(1) (f), (b), (a), (c), (d), (e)
(2) (f), (b), (a), (d), (e), (c)
(3) (f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)
(4) (f), (b), (a), (d), (c), (e)

Answer: (3) (f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)
Bit < Byte(8 Bit) < Kilobyte(1024 Byte) < Megabyte(1024 Byte) < Gigabyte(1024 Byte) < Terabyte(1024 Byte)
40. With regard to computer memory, which of the following statement (s) is/are TRUE?
P: Read Only Memory (ROM) is 'volatile' memory.
Q: Random Access Memory (RAM) is 'volatile' memory.
R: Secondary Memory is 'volatile' memory.
(1) P only
(2) Q only
(3) P and Q only
(4) P and R only

Answer: (2) Q only
RAM is primary memory, which is much faster than any other memory type. RAM is volatile memory as its data gets wiped out when computer is shut off. Whereas non-volatile memory is memory which do not require any power to get retained e.g. Hard disk or memory card.
