Assertion (A): Assertion: A superheterodyne receiver's selectivity is unaffected by the station tuned.

Reason (R): Reason: Its preselector is broad enough to pass any station without attenuation.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

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

Answer: D

The assertion is true but the reason is wrong: selectivity is uniform because the intermediate frequency filter works at a fixed frequency, not because the preselector is broad. The preselector's breadth is a limitation it happens to have, and its actual job is image rejection. A true conclusion supported by the wrong mechanism is the most instructive kind of error, because it survives every check except tracing the cause.
