Q1:

Assertion (A): Silicon is the most favoured semiconductor material. Reason (R): PIV for silicon diode is more than that for germanium diode.

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 correct explanation of A

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

ANS:C - A is true but R is false

Higher PIV for silicon is a definite advantage.
