Question:

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A) : An ADC converts digital signal into Analog signals. Reason (R) : DAC performs the inverse operation of ADC. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept: ADC and DAC are fundamental data conversion devices.
• ADC = Analog to Digital Converter
• DAC = Digital to Analog Converter ADC converts analog signals into digital form, while DAC performs the reverse process.

Step 1:
Analyzing Assertion (A). Assertion says: \[ \text{ADC converts digital signal into analog signals} \] This statement is incorrect. Actually: \[ \text{ADC converts Analog } \rightarrow \text{ Digital} \] Examples:
• microphone signal digitization,
• sensor signal conversion,
• digital measurement systems. Thus Assertion is false.

Step 2:
Analyzing Reason (R). Reason says: \[ \text{DAC performs inverse operation of ADC} \] This statement is correct. DAC converts: \[ \text{Digital } \rightarrow \text{ Analog} \] which is exactly opposite to ADC operation.

Step 3:
Understanding ADC operation. An ADC samples continuous analog signals and produces binary output. Example: \[ 2.5V \rightarrow 1010_2 \] Thus ADC is an Analog-to-Digital converter.

Step 4:
Understanding DAC operation. A DAC accepts digital input and reconstructs corresponding analog output voltage/current. Example: \[ 1010_2 \rightarrow 2.5V \] Hence DAC is inverse of ADC.

Step 5:
Selecting the correct option. Therefore:
• Assertion is incorrect,
• Reason is correct. Hence the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(4)} \]
