Question 3

Assertion (A): The binary files are an advanced version of text files and work similar to text files.

Reasoning (R): The data in binary files are stored in the form of binary digits, 0 and 1; and is directly understood by the computer.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false but R is true.
Answer

A is false but R is true.

Explanation
Binary files are not an advanced version of text files but rather a different type of file. They serve different purposes and handle data differently. Text files store data as human-readable text using characters, while binary files store data using binary digits (0s and 1s), which are directly understood by computers.
