Assertion (A): Recorder readouts are anchored to independently known events.

Reason (R): A wrong conversion factor typically yields a plausible rather than an obviously broken trace.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the second is why the anchoring is necessary. A wrong scaling factor does not produce nonsense: a gain error changes the amplitude while preserving the shape, and an offset shifts the whole trace - both look entirely plausible.

Only comparison with independently known events exposes them: radar returns, radio recordings, the documented times of actions. Errors that announced themselves would need no such check; it is precisely the plausible ones that make it essential.
