The correct answer is
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Analysis
Analyzing Assertion (A): ROM Data Retention
Assertion (A) states that Read Only Memory (ROM) does not lose its data after restarting the computer system.
- ROM is a type of non-volatile memory.
- Non-volatile memory retains stored information even when not powered.
- Therefore, restarting the computer does not erase the data stored in ROM.
Conclusion: Assertion (A) is correct.
Analyzing Reason (R): Non-Volatile Storage Definition
Reason (R) states that a non-volatile storage unit loses data stored in it in case of power off or interruption of power.
- The defining characteristic of non-volatile storage is that it *retains* data without power.
- Conversely, volatile storage (like RAM) loses data when power is turned off.
- Reason (R) incorrectly describes the behavior of non-volatile storage; it actually describes volatile storage.
Conclusion: Reason (R) is incorrect.
Final Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assertion (A) is correct.
- Reason (R) is incorrect.
This corresponds to the option stating that (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
