Assertion-Reason Questions
(5 questions x 1 mark = 5 marks)

Directions: Each of the following questions consists of an assertion (A) and a reason (R). Choose the correct
answer from the options given below:
3

1. Assertion (A): Fiber-optic cables are often preferred in high-speed internet connections.
Reason (R): Fiber-optic cables use light to transmit data, which allows for faster speeds and longer
distances compared to electrical signals used in copper cables.

A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.


B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.

2. Assertion (A): A Client/Server network architecture is typically more secure than a Peer-to-Peer network.
Reason (R): In a Client/Server network, data and resources are centrally managed, reducing the risk of
unauthorized access compared to decentralized Peer-to-Peer networks.

A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.


B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.

3. Assertion (A): Bus topology is less fault-tolerant compared to star topology.


Reason (R): In a bus topology, a failure in the central hub will disrupt communication for all connected
devices.

A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.


B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.

4. Assertion (A): Wide Area Networks (WANs) are more suitable for connecting computers within a single
building than LANs.
Reason (R): WANs provide faster data transfer rates over shorter distances due to the use of high-capacity
fiber-optic cables.

A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.


B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
4

C) A is false, but R is true.


D) A is true, but R is false.

5. Assertion (A): The TCP/IP protocol suite is essential for internet communication.
Reason (R): TCP/IP handles both the addressing of devices on the network and the routing of data packets
between them, ensuring reliable communication.

A) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.


B) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C) A is true, but R is false.
D) A is false, but R is true.
