Direction: The following item consists of two statements, one labelled as ‘Statement (I)’ and the other as ‘Statement (II)’. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the code given below:Statement (I): For constant applied voltage to its terminals, the effect of armature resistance in the operation of a dc shunt motor, is to reduce the operating speed, and cause a ‘drooping’ speed Vs. load characteristic.Statement (II): The effect or armature demagnetization with the decreasing load is to reduce the drop in operating speed, and can be designed to give a ‘rising’ speed Vs. load characteristic which may result in a possible ‘runaway’.

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
