Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Statement I:The CPU executes software directly from secondary memory.

Statement II:A software is termed Open Source Software if it can be downloaded from the Internet.

ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true

BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false ✓ Correct

CStatement I is true but Statement II is false

DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer: (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Explanation

The CPU can execute instructions only after they are loaded into primary memory such as RAM, never straight from secondary storage.

Statement 1 is false because programs on a hard disk must first be copied into RAM before the processor can run them.

Statement 2 is false because open source software is defined by freely available and modifiable source code, not merely by being downloadable.

Many downloadable programs are proprietary, with their source code kept closed and licensed.

Open source licences let users study, change and redistribute the underlying code.

Secondary storage retains data permanently, while RAM holds only the currently running programs.
