Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A), and the other labelled as Reason (R). Indicate your answer using the codes given below :

Assertion (A) : Algorithm is a logical rule that guarantees solving a particular problem.
Reason (R) : One can find the solution even to complex problems by following step by step procedure.
Codes :

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

Answer: B

Assertion (A) is true: an algorithm is a step-by-step rule that guarantees a solution if it is followed correctly. Reason (R) is also true, since one can solve even complex problems by following the steps. The official key regards (R) as the correct explanation of (A), because the guarantee given by an algorithm comes from the fact that its steps are followed in sequence. The answer is both are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
