Q1:

Assertion (A): Silicon is preferred over germanium in manufacture of semiconductor devices. Reason (R): Forbidden gap in silicon is more than that in germanium.

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

B Both A and R are true but R is not a correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

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

Wider forbidden gap in silicon makes it less sensitive to temperature than germanium.
