Q1:

Assertion (A): A GTO circuit is more compact than SCR circuit Reason (R): A GTO can be turned off by negative gate pulse.

A Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A

B Both A and R correct but R is not correct explanation of A

C A is correct but R is wrong

D A is wrong but R is correct

ANS:A - Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A

Since commutation circuit is not required, GTO circuit is compact.
