Extra Questions:

DIRECTION:
1.The following three items consist of two statements, one labelled as ‘Assertion A’ and the other labelled as ‘Reason R’. You are to examine these two statements carefully and decide if the Assertion A and the Reason R are individually true and if so, whether the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion. Select your answers to these items using the codes given below: Codes:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Assertion (A) : An auto-transformer is more efficient in transferring energy from primary to secondary circuit.
