A musician uses a broadband internet connection to download music. In this context, which of the following statements are true? Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

1.Some rural areas in India have poor broadband access

2.There is no need to dial up, broadband is always connected

3.You cannot use the landline phone at the same time while using broadband internet

A1 and 2 only ✓ Correct

B1 and 3 only

C2 and 3 only

D1, 2 and 3

Correct answer: (A) 1 and 2 only

Explanation

Broadband gives an always-on connection and its reach is still weak in some rural parts of India, so the first two statements hold true.

Statement 1 is true, since patchy infrastructure leaves many rural areas with poor broadband access.

Statement 2 is true, because broadband stays connected without the dial-up step needed by older modems.

Statement 3 is false, as broadband lets the landline phone and internet work together at the same time.

Older dial-up tied up the phone line, but broadband separates voice and data frequencies.

Broadband suits large downloads like music because of its higher, continuous speed.
