Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: Hubs do not manage any of the traffic that comes through them. Reason R: Hubs are sophisticated routing devices. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is correct but R is not correct.
• D. A is not correct but R is correct.

Hint:

Hub only broadcasts signals and does not intelligently route traffic.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
A hub is a simple networking device used in LAN.
Step 1:
Hub broadcasts incoming data to all connected devices without traffic management. Thus Assertion A is correct.
Step 2:
Hubs are not sophisticated routing devices. Routers perform routing operations. Thus Reason R is incorrect.
Step 3:

• Hub works at physical layer
• Router manages network traffic
Step 4:
\[ \boxed{\text{A is correct but R is not correct}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Correct Option = (3)}} \]
