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:
\[
\boxed{(4)}
\]
