II. Assertion Reasoning


Consider the given statements for Assertion and Reason, choose the correct answer –
A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
C. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
D. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

1. Assertion (A) : Computers are versatile devices.


Reason (R): It can compute and generate bills while playing music at the same
time
2. Assertion (A): You need RAM to store data for a long time.
Reason (R): Secondary memory is used to provide permanent storage of data.
3. Assertion (A): Compiler, Interpreter and Assembler are language translators.
Reason (R): Compiler is a program for converting instructions written in low-
level language to machine code.
4. Assertion (A): Operating System enables the hardware to communicate with the
user.
Reason (R): It takes instructions from user and further instructs hardware
components to work. The results produced by hardware components are sent back
to the user.
