Practice these new type of questions introduced by council from last year.

ASSERTION AND REASONING

Instructions:
For each question, there are two statements: an assertion (A) and a reason (R) and four
options. You need to choose the correct option (a, b, c, d) accordingly.
1. Assertion : Aꞌ•B and A+Bꞌ are minterm and maxterm for A = 1 B = 0.
Reason : Minterm and maxterm are complements of each other.

a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

2. Assertion : It is not possible to reduce the SOP expression of sum in a full adder using a
K map.
Reason : Groups can be formed only if there are adjacent squares containing 1 or 0 in a K
map.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

3. Assertion : XNOR gate is a universal gate.

Reason : A universal gate can realize all primary Boolean operations.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

4. Assertion : Recursion tends to slow down execution of programs.

Reason : Recursion consumes extra storage space.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

5. Assertion : Decoders are sometimes called min term generators.

Reason : The output lines of a decoder represent min terms of any n-variable logic function.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.
6. Assertion : A multiplexer can be used for data routing.
Reason : A multiplexer has one input and many outputs.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

7. Assertion : A stack data structure is used to reverse a data.

Reason : In a stack, the last added data is the first to be taken out.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

8. Assertion : In a printing process documents were printed in the order in which they were
received.
Reason : A print job queue processes things in First In First Out order.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

9. Assertion : An interface cannot be instantiated.

Reason : Interfaces are abstract in nature.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.

10. Assertion : A derived class can be a base class of other classes forming an inheritance
hierarchy.
Reason : Inheritance is transitive in nature.
a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
c) Assertion is true and Reason is false.
d) Assertion is false and Reason is true.
