(d) A is false but R is true

7. Assertion (A): Whenever a synchro pair is used as an error detector, a two-phase ac motor may be used as an actuator.
Reason (R) : the synchro pair produces an error voltage which is suppressed carrier modulated and a two-phase ac motor could demodulate this.

Ans:-C


8. Assertion (A): The input impedance of a loss- less transmission line can have two limiting values, zero and infinity.
