UPSC CAPF 2026 General Ability and Intelligence Question Paper (19-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Assembly level program is a sequence of machine language instructions.

The statement that an assembler translates assembly language into machine language is correct — that is precisely the assembler's function.

The statement that a compiler translates high-level language into machine language is also correct, since compilers convert entire high-level source programs into machine code before execution.

The statement that firmware refers to software stored in read-only storage devices (like ROM) is correct, since firmware is low-level software embedded in hardware to control basic device functions.

However, an assembly-level program is written as a sequence of mnemonic assembly language instructions (like MOV, ADD), which are human-readable symbolic codes — not a sequence of machine language (binary) instructions; the assembler is precisely what converts assembly instructions into machine instructions, so calling assembly-level code itself a sequence of machine language instructions is incorrect.

Hence, the incorrect statement is that an assembly level program is a sequence of machine language instructions.
