Question

Which of the following signal controls the flow of data ?

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Hindi Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

RTS and DTR

RTS and DTR option is correct.

The RS-232 (EIA-232) interface, on which most textbook UART/8051 serial-communication discussions are based, defines two families of handshake signals that together regulate data flow between a DTE and a DCE. RTS (Request-To-Send) paired with CTS (Clear-To-Send) performs hardware flow control: the transmitter raises RTS to ask permission, and the receiver raises CTS when its buffer has room. DTR (Data-Terminal-Ready) paired with DSR (Data-Set-Ready) advertises device readiness and is also used by modem software (and Mazidi’s 8051 text) as part of the flow-control handshake — both must be asserted before data is allowed to pass.

Because the question asks which signal(s) “control the flow of data”, and both RTS and DTR participate in that flow-control handshake, the combined option is the accurate answer. Choosing only RTS or only DTR omits half of the handshake, and ECNR is not a defined RS-232 line.
