Dear Candidates, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) check
your Knowledge and test rationality as well. Very few people know this fact.
This is why many candidates make the very simple question wrong. We try to
explain this fact with a simple example.
Read the following question-
India's capital is-
(A)
Delhi (B) New Delhi (C)
Kolkata (D) Chennai
Can there be a simple question from this question,
and do you think that if one lakh candidates are sitting in the exam, then all
that 100% of the candidates will solve this question.
No, not at all.
Take the example of a little more difficult
question.
'Protection of the environment
will be practiced, not of the citizen but of the state', the above statement is
related to which of the following article -
(A) 39-A
(B) 43-A (C)
48-A (D) 51-A
Now you will be able to better
understand that the questions of multi-option type test your knowledge as well
as rationality. Let me tell here that the correct answer of the above question
is (C) 48-A.
In fact, many times your
knowledge is not, but your 'humane error' only puts you out of the examination. This article is basically about the
technique of solving those questions on which candidates are gassed.
Keep in mind that the rules
outlined in it are not absolute rules, but they have been seen to be fairly
realistic on the rules of logic and probability. This article lesson saves you from the humane errors and also tells
the method of solving paper with logical and scientific method.
Observe this article
carefully and learn how to use the best of what is said. I believe with full
confidence that even if you are an average candidate, you will still be
successful in this examination.
Let's start ...
Choosing the answer
to the shortest or longest option is better.
See the following examples-
E-Biz ' is concerned with whom?
(A) Electronic Commerce
(B) Single window financial transactions
(C) Single window for business inquiries
(D) Single window for approach to government services
Ans. D
It is quite clear from this
question that came in UPPCS 2016.
Select the option
to break a special order (English or Hindi order)
See the following examples-
Divergent Thinking does not
have any of the following characteristics:
(A) Spontaneous (B)
Free-flowing
(C) Non-linear (D)
Accuracy
The answer to the question is D
and you can see that the other three options have a 'logical similarity'
whereas D is breaking the sequence of similarity.
If two options are
exactly the opposite, then look for answers in those two options.
See the following examples-
Which of the following is in
relation to the President of India, statement is correct
(A) The position of
President in India is like a rubber stamp
(B) The position of President
in India is not like a rubber stamp
(C) President of India can
become dictator
(D) None of the above
The opposite option questions
are generally closed-ended questions. Closed-ended questions are those that can
be easily answered by "yes" or "no".
Choose your answer
in mid-options in the case of sorted options
See the following examples-
The time of zero hour in
Parliament is:
(A) From 10 A.M. to 11
P.M (B) from 11 A.M. to 12 P.M.
(C) From 12 to 1.00 P.M. (D)
from 1.00 to 2.00 P.M.
The answer to the question is
C. If there is doubt in choosing B and C, then the answer will definitely be D.
If the answer to
the options is numerical, then remove the maximum values.
See the following examples-
In the 2011 census, how much
was the percentage of urban population in India's total population?
(A) 25% (B) 30%
(C) 35% (D) 40%
The answer to the question is
B. And the frequency of the rule can be seen clearly from the above question in
NET 2016 in the question paper 'Population Studies'.
Do not do much
analysis in the situation, if do not know the correct answer.
See the following examples-
(NET-Dec. 2015)
Which of
the following pollutants can cause cancer in humans?
(1) Pesticides (2) Mercury (3) Lead (4) Ozone
Our common sense
is saying that from childhood we have heard that insecticides are harmful to
health, whether it be cancerous or not. At what age did you hear for the first
time that mercury, lead and ozone are harmful? The answer
to the question is (A).
When you have questions,
find the answer by making a brainstorming relationship with one of the first
responses to brain and one of the four options.
See the following examples-
Which of the following is an
instant messaging app?
(1) Whatsapp (2) Google Talk (3) Viber
Select the correct answer from
the code below:
(A) (1) and (2) (B)
(2) and (3)
(C) Only (1) (D) (1),
(2) and (3)
At the first sight, after
reading the question that comes in NET Dec 2015, it seems
that it is all three. Do not do much analysis on such questions.
Do not seek answers
directly after reading the questions, but try to memorize the related
information.
See the following examples (NET
June 2014)
Which of the following is
considered a sign of motivated learning?
(A) Asking the question of students (B) Maximum attendance of students
(C) Pin drop silence in classroom (D) Making notes of students
Motivated learning is a
keyword, as soon as we read that, some thoughts come in our brain easily. In motivated teaching, students remain comfortable towards the
teacher. They are not scared. They are excited to ask questions. Based on these
things, there should be the answer (A) that is in the brain.
By reading the
question or the keyword of the question, the option that matches the visual
picture created in your brain is the best answer.
See the following examples (NET
June 2014)
The research stream of immediate
application is
(A) Conceptual research (B) Action research
(C) Fundamental research (D) Empirical research
(A) Conceptual research (B) Action research
(C) Fundamental research (D) Empirical research
The mental picture of instant
use connects us directly to the action so that is the correct answer.
Connect the demand of the question to the list
of anytime, heard, read or seen information. The logical connection to which
option will be the right choice.
See the following example - (NET Dec 2013)
The power of the Supreme Court of India falls under it to
decide the disputes between two or more states.
(A) Advisory jurisdiction (B) Appeal jurisdiction
(C) Original jurisdiction (D) Article jurisdiction
Though the courts perform many functions, but their basic
work is to settle disputes, so it should be their original jurisdiction. The
logical answer is obviously (C).
Elect to change the answer on a logical basis
rather than on an emotional basis.
See the following example - (NET Dec 2013)
Post-industrial society has been nominated-
(A) Information Society (B) Technology Society
(C) Arbitrator society (D) Non-agricultural
society
You may be in doubt about the options (A) and (B) of this
question, but if you look carefully, today's technical sphere is being given
more attention to the information technology. So, after choosing option A, do
not go to option B without solid reasoning. Avoid Second Guess.
Live the life you truly deserve!
