BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation

Statement 2 is true because decimal 21.125 equals binary 10101.001, since 10101 is 21 and .001 is one-eighth or 0.125.

Statement 1 is false because Wi-Fi is a brand name, not an acronym for Wireless Firewire.

The integer part 10101 sums 16 plus 4 plus 1, giving 21.

The fractional bit in the third place after the point carries a value of one-eighth.

FireWire is a separate high-speed wired interface, unrelated to Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi refers to wireless local networking based on the IEEE 802.11 standards.
