Directions: The following items consist of two statements, one labeled as “Assertion(A)” and the other labeled as “Reason(R)”. You are to examine the 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 answer to these items using the codes given below and mark your answer accordingly.Assertion (A): In a p-n junction the electron crossing the junction from right to left constitutes a current in the same direction as hole crossing the junction from left to right.Reason (R): In a p-n junction the low value of depletion region capacitance can be obtained with reverse biasing.

• 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.
