Direction: Given question consists of two statements, one labeled as the 'Assertion (A)' and the other as 'Reason (R)'. You are to examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the codes given below.Assertion (A): For producing radiation patterns with pre-determined characteristics like beamwidth, side-lobe levels, etc. phased array antennas are widely used in antenna technologyReason (R): In a phased array antenna system the resultant radiation pattern is formed by the superposition of electromagnetic waves radiated from various antenna elements which maintain specific, pre-determined phase conditions.

• A. Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are individually 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
