UGC NTA NET/JRF Exam, Dec. 2020/June, 2021 Geography

Total Questions: 100

91. TABLE:


What percent of stations recorded temperature between 30°C to 70°C?

Correct Answer: (d) 64
Solution:

92. Which one of the following is the median of the above data?

Correct Answer: (a) 45°C
Solution:

45°C is the median. The median is the value of the rank, which divides the arranged series into two equal numbers. It is independent of the actual value. Arranging the data in ascending or descending order and then finding the value of the middle ranking number is the most significant in calculating the median. In case of the even numbers the average of the two middle ranking values will be the median.

93. The Third Quartile (Q3) of the distribution is:

Correct Answer: (d) 59.375 °C
Solution:

By practical geography we obtained that the Third Quartile (Q3) of the distribution is 59.375 °C. The lower quartile, or first quartile (Q1), is the value under which 25% of data points are found when they are arranged in increasing order. The upper quartile, or third quartile (Q3), is the value under which 75% of data points are found when arranged in increasing order.

94. The number of stations that recorded temperature less than 40°C:

Correct Answer: (c) 10
Solution:The number of stations that recorded temperature less than 40°C is 10.

95. The average temperature in the region is:

Correct Answer: (b) 45°C
Solution:

The average temperature in the region is 45°C.
The average temperature of the air is indicated by a properly exposed thermometer during a given time period, usually a day, a month, or a year.

96. Answer the following questions on the basis of above Passage:

Geography as a discipline is focused on understanding the relationship between Man and Nature. It is built on experiences of successive generations. The history of geography is basically concerned with the development of human consciousness about the possibilities and limitations that nature offers for human growth.
The word geography was first used by the Greek scholar Eratosthenes in the third century. Hartshorne said that Geography provides rational description of the earth surface above and below depending on the progress in technology.
The study of man is the realm of humanities, whereas science focused on the study of nature. Geography studies them simultaneously. However, geography as a university level discipline started only in the nineteenth century.
Humboldt and Ritter demonstrated the usefulness of Geography as an universal science After this period many scholars like Ratzel and Richtofen in Germany, Blache and Reclus in France projected it as an integrated study of ManNature relationship hormony with nature led to concepts of Determination and possibilism, however Kant tried to address this confusion to a certain extent.
With the emergence of different schools of thought Dualism and Dichotomies in Geography like general versus regionalphysical versus Human-Historical versus Contemporary -Nodal versus regional concepts developed; and prevailed. The advent of quantitative revolution had further diversified the discipline. Paradigm systems approach and models in geography became significant aspects of modern geographic thought.
Paradigm proposed by Kuhn had references on areal differentiation, exceptionalism. Spatial analysis Models in Geography made significant progress Modern Themes in Geographic thought like positivism, pragmatism, functionalism etc. were introduced.
The usefulness of Geography as an Universal Science was demonstrated by

Correct Answer: (c) Humboldt and Ritter
Solution:

Humboldt and Ritter demonstrated the usefulness of Geography as an Universal Science. Humboldt and Ritter demonstrated the usefulness of Geography as an universal science After this period many scholars like Ratzel and Richtofen in Germany, Blache and Reclus in France projected it as an integrated study.

97. The concepts of Determinism and positivism emerged as a result of integrated Hinduism by

Correct Answer: (d) German and French
Solution:The concepts of Determinism and positivism emerged as a result of integrated Hinduism by German and French.

98. Who were the first to use the word Geography?

Correct Answer: (c) Greeks
Solution:

The word geography was first used by the Greek scholar Eratosthenes in the third century. Hartshorne said that Geography provides rational description of the ear the surface above and below depending on the progress in technology.

99. Which of the following is the recent development in Geographic studies?

Correct Answer: (d) Positivism
Solution:

Positivism is the recent development in Geographic studies. Man-Nature relationship, harmony with nature led to concepts of Determination and possibilism, however Kant tried to address this confusion to a certain extent. With the emergence of different schools of thought Dualism and Dichotomies in Geography like general versus regional-physical versus Human-Historical versus Contemporary-Nodal versus regional concepts developed; and prevailed.

100. Which major development in Geographic studies during the recent period changed the direction in its growth?

Correct Answer: (c) Quantitative Revolution
Solution:

Quantitative Revolution Geographic studies during the recent period changed the direction in its growth.
The advent of quantitative revolution had further diversified the discipline. Paradigm systems approach and models in geography became significant aspects of modern geographic thought. Paradigm proposed by Kuhn had references on areal differentiation, exceptionalism.
