Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Assertion (A):ROM is a non-volatile memory.
Reason (R):ROM does not lose its contents when the power is switched off.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Assertion states that ROM is a non-volatile memory, which is true.
Reason states that ROM does not lose its contents when power is switched off, which is also true.
Retaining data without power is exactly the meaning of being non-volatile.
So the Reason correctly explains why the Assertion holds.
Both statements are accurate and the second gives the direct cause of the first.
RAM by contrast is volatile and loses its contents once power is removed.
