Explanation
★The answer is that both A and R are true and R correctly explains A.
★A MODEM both sends and receives data, so it is treated as an input and output device, making Assertion A true.
★It uploads or outputs data and downloads or inputs data at the same time, so Reason R is true.
★This simultaneous sending and receiving is exactly why it counts as both kinds of device.
★So R is the correct explanation of A.
★Thus both are true and R explains A.
★So the answer is that both A and R are true and R correctly explains A.
