Assertion (A): A router connects multiple networks together and routes data between them based on IP addresses.
Reasoning (R): A router operates at the data link layer of the OSI model, which allows it to route packets between devices on different networks.
- a) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning correctly explains the assertion.
- b) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning does not correctly explain the assertion.
- c) The assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
- d) The assertion is false, but the reasoning is true.
Assertion (A): XML is a markup language that defines the structure of data, making it both human-readable and machine-readable.
Reasoning (R): XML tags are predefined and have specific functions that are universally understood across all platforms.
- a) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning correctly explains the assertion.
- b) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning does not correctly explain the assertion.
- c) The assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
- d) The assertion is false, but the reasoning is true.
Assertion (A): The HTTP protocol is used to send email messages over the internet.
Reasoning (R): HTTP is designed for communication between web browsers and web servers, while email communication is typically done using SMTP or POP3.
- a) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning correctly explains the assertion.
- b) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning does not correctly explain the assertion.
- c) The assertion is false, but the reasoning is true.
- d) The assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
Assertion (A): A hub forwards data packets to all devices connected in a network.
Reasoning (R): Since a hub does not differentiate between devices, it broadcasts all data, which can lead to network congestion.
- a) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning correctly explains the assertion.
- b) Both the assertion and reasoning are true, but the reasoning does not correctly explain the assertion.
- c) The assertion is true, but the reasoning is false.
