Question

Match the Characters in List-I with their correct ASCII Property in List-II.

• A. a - i, b - iii, c - iv, d - ii
• B. a - i, b - iv, c - iii, d - ii
• C. a - iii, b - iv, c - i, d - ii
• D. a - iii, b - iv, c - ii, d - i

Hint:

Memorize these three important ASCII values: \[ \text{Space}=32,\qquad '0'=48,\qquad 'A'=65 \] Also remember that lowercase letters are always 32 greater than their corresponding uppercase letters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) assigns a unique decimal value to every character used in computers. Some important ASCII values are: \[ \text{Space} = 32 \] \[ '0' = 48 \] \[ 'A' = 65 \] \[ 'a' = 97 \] Also, \[ 97-65=32 \] Thus lowercase letters have ASCII values exactly 32 greater than their corresponding uppercase letters.

Step 1: Match character 'A'. The ASCII value of capital A is: \[ 65 \] Therefore, \[ a \rightarrow (iii) \]

Step 2: Match character 'a'. The ASCII value of lowercase a is: \[ 97 \] Since \[ 97-65=32 \] it differs from uppercase A by 32. Therefore, \[ b \rightarrow (iv) \]

Step 3: Match character '0'. The ASCII value of zero is: \[ 48 \] Therefore, \[ c \rightarrow (ii) \]

Step 4: Match the space character. The ASCII value of a blank space is: \[ 32 \] Therefore, \[ d \rightarrow (i) \]

Step 5: Write the complete matching. \[ a \rightarrow iii \] \[ b \rightarrow iv \] \[ c \rightarrow ii \] \[ d \rightarrow i \] Hence, the correct option is: \[ \boxed{(D)\ a-iii,\ b-iv,\ c-ii,\ d-i} \]
