RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 1 Question Paper PDF (20-Jun-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

(i) True, (ii) False

Statement (i): Application Software (such as word processors, browsers, or media players) cannot run on its own. It relies on System Software, particularly the Operating System, to be loaded into memory and to gain access to hardware resources like the processor, memory, and storage. Hence, statement (i) is True.

Statement (ii): Modern operating systems run each application in its own protected memory space. If one application crashes or misbehaves, the OS isolates the fault and terminates that application without affecting the OS itself or other running programs. Hence, statement (ii) is False.

Therefore, statement (i) is True and statement (ii) is False.
