This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2022 Paper 1 Question Paper (22-Oct-2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

 To solve the question, we need to evaluate the truthfulness of each of the given statements individually.

  1. Statement I: "The inventor of WWW is Bill Gates."
    • The World Wide Web (WWW) was actually invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN. Bill Gates is a renowned technologist but is not credited with the invention of the WWW. He is the co-founder of Microsoft. Therefore, this statement is false.
  2. Statement II: "IPv6 protocol defines an IP address of 128 bits."
    • Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a protocol for packet-switched internet working and provides identification and location systems for computers on networks. Specifically, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, which allows for a vastly larger number of unique IP addresses than the older IPv4 system, which used 32-bit addresses. This statement is therefore true.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
