MOCK TEST ON GEOGRAPHICAL TECHNIQUES PYQS JULY 2016 NTA UGC NET

Q.1. Which one of the following diagrams can be used to represent non-spatial attribute data? (UGC NET JULY 2016)

(1) Flow line

(2) Bars and Cubes

(3) Choropleth

(4) Isoline

Q.2. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below: (UGC NET JULY 2016)

Assertion (A): There are data restrictions in using Lorenz curve since variable must be expressed as frequencies and negative values cannot be included.

Reason (R): This technique is difficult to be applied to study of continuous variables.

Codes:

(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(3) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

(4) (A) is false, but (R) is true.

List – I (Types of scale)

(I) Statement

(II) Simple linear

(III) Representative Fraction

(IV) Comparative scale

List – II (Scale on map)

     I II III IV

(1) B D C A

(2) A B C D

(3) D A B C

(4) B D A C

Q.4. Match List – I with List –II and select the correct answer using the codes given below: (UGC NET JULY 2016)

List – I (R.F) 

(I) 1: 2,50,000

(II) 1: 50,00,000

(III)1: 25,000

(1) 9.00 km²

(2) 1.00 km²

(3) 3.20 km²

(4) 2.25 km²

Which one of the following calculated mean values of the distribution is correct?

Codes:

(1) 21.50

(2) 22.33

(3) 24.33

(4) 25.50

Q.7. Which one of the following correlation coefficients is mismatched with its value? (UGC NET JULY 2016)

(1) Perfect positive

(2) Imperfect negative

(3) No correlation

(4) Positive significant

Q.8. Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and other Labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below: (UGC NET JULY 2016)

Assertion (A): Partial correlation is a method of dealing with three or more variables.

Reason (R): Basically, it is the correlation between two variables holding the third variable constant.

Codes:

(1) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

(2) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

(3) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

(4) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
