Directions: It consists of two statements, one labelled as the ‘Statement (I)’ and the other as ‘Statement (II)’. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the codes given below:Statement (I):Before making any voltage measurement using electronic voltmeter, it is desirable to short circuit its input and make zero-adjustment to ensure correct reading.Statement (II):Drift in the dc amplifier of the electronic voltmeter may indicate output without any input voltage present.

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
Answer» B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is not the correct explanation of Statement (I)
