Useful Tips on How to find the correct codes for Assertion and Reason type questions in NET exam.

Dear Professionals,

Useful tips to crack the codes in Assertion and Reason.

From June 2015 onwards, the codes in Assertion and Reason pattern are changed, Only the 4 Codes

are set for the questions.

Earlier the codes include Partially true, Partially not true, Statement is false, Not correct explanation of (A), Correct Explanation etc.

But now the codes are only

Both (A) and (R) are true.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

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

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

Now how to crack the correct code for some question

Eg:- Q no 68 June 2016

Assertion (A) : Google search is considered as the biggest threat to contemporary libraries.

Reason (R)  : Now-a-days, users taking help from Reference Librarian for factual queries has                   

                       considerably decreased

First read the reason part then make sure the statement is True or False  i.e whether R is true or False

For the above question the statement (R) is true because user queries has considerably decreased taking help from the Reference Librarian

Ignore the option 2 and 3, the answer will be either 1 or 4, now read the statement (A) it is False so the answer is 4 

1)  Both (A) and (R) are True

2)  Both (A) and (R) are false.

3)  (A) is true, but (R) is false.

4)  (A) is false, but (R) is True

4 (A) is False, but (R) is True

Note: The Option Code  Both (A) and (R) are false is very very less used only for 10 questions in (A) & (R)  out of 313 question asked from June 2012 to June 2016 , because subject expert cannot make both the statement false, its easy to find  when reading the statement

Hope U all will find the information useful

Thanks

This is illogical information. NET/JRF aspirants should be gives answer according to accurate information based on subject matters.

Sno  Assertion Reason  Answer
1 Internet can replace libraries. Google searches will satisfy the maximum users needs.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

2 Knowledge organisation and knowledge management are conceptually one and the same. Simple Knowledge Organisation System (SKOS) is designed for knowledge management.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

3 There is no need for libraries to invest on reference collection.

Web is a treasure of all types of information that can replace reference desk.

Both (A) and (R) are false.
4 The plagiarism detection software implements a generic detection approach for all types of materials. There is no difference between text and source code plagiarism.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

5 Loose Assemblage is the process of linking together different classes. This mode was formerly known as subject bundle

Both (A) and (R) are false.

6 Mail survey, a data collection technique in which questionnaires are mailed to potential respondents, who in then fill and return at their
convenience become obsolete.
Survey-Monkey, the free online survey tool has totally replaced the traditional Mail survey.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

7 Semantic web is an extension of www in which web contents cannot be expressed in natural language. Semantic web can be easily associated with spider web.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

8 In the online catalogue, there is a pressing need to limit the number of
characters used to describe a resource.
Abbreviations were not important in the era of card catalogue.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

9 All research require hypotheses to be proposed and tested. No research is complete without testing of hypotheses.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

10 As per the generally accepted principles of construction of statistical tabulation, every table should have a clear, concise and adequate title so as to make the table intelligible without reference to the text and this title should always be placed just below the body of the table A statistical table which reflects its title just above the table and supply information about several interrelated characteristics of data makes the table unwield and inconvenient.

Both (A) and (R) are false.

Q no 66 Paper III

Assertion (A) : Dictionary catalogue is very easy to consult.

Reason (R) : Dictionary catalogue consists of author and title entries only.

Codes : (1) (A) is false, but (R) is true.               (2) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

                  (3) Both (A) and (R) are true.            (4) Both (A) and (R) are false.  

Here the statement (R) is False because Dictionary Catalogue consist all its entries, including authors, titles, subjects, etc  and the statement (A) is correct its easy to consult.

Answer :   (2) (A) is true, but (R) is false.

 

Tips and Tricks:  if  you find (R) is false then (A) will be True   99.9%,  because the statement

Both (A) and (R) are false is less used.

Rt Akhtar sir
Very impressive Sir.

good information
thank u sir

My very personal thanks to you dear Sri Abilash Achuthan!

As I am no longer eligible to sit for such examinations, my knowledge & exposure to such questions are virtually Nil. However, as an individual, such reasoning and assertions are always valuable. For me, such questions help in sharpening one's reasoning abilities. I understand that with age I may be loosing these attributes. Your post certainly enriched my left out attributes for sure.

Thanks once again,

Siddhartha S. Ray 

Thank you Sir

Regards,
