Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
For a multiple-statement item, test each claim independently against its governing regulation or policy, then match the complete truth set to an offered combination.
A later policy may reiterate an earlier principle, so chronology must be checked separately from the substance of the claim. A numerical regulatory threshold must also be read with its penalty classification.
Application
Statement | Source-based check | Status |
|---|---|---|
A | UGC regulations classify similarities up to 10% as Level 0 and impose no penalty. | True |
B | The Right to Education Act, 2009 had already said that, as far as practicable, the medium of instruction should be the child’s mother tongue; NEP 2020 did not introduce the principle for the first time. | False |
C | Operation Blackboard arose from the National Policy on Education, 1986 and its implementation programme, before the Right to Education Act, 2009. | False |
D | NEP 2020 replaces the older 10+2 school structure with the 5+3+3+4 curricular and pedagogical structure. | True |
Contrast
“B and C only” depends on both historically incorrect attribution statements.
“A and D only” corresponds to the two statements supported by the cited regulatory and policy documents.
“A, B and C only” adds both historically incorrect attribution statements and omits the supported school-structure statement.
“B, C and D only” includes both historically incorrect attribution statements and omits the supported plagiarism-threshold statement.
Cross-check
The truth pattern for A through D is True, False, False, True. Therefore, the correct combination is A and D only.
