Q17 and 18 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions. Mark the correct choice as :
i. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
ii. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
iii.A is true but R is False
iv.A is false but R is true
17 (v)Both A and R are False. 1
18 (i) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A 1
 SECTION B
19 Hardware need software instructions to function and perform useful tasks. For 1
example, a CPU needs an operating system to manage its resources and run
applications. 1
The performance of software is directly tied to the capabilities of the hardware.
For example, high-end graphics software requires powerful GPUs to render
images and videos effectively.

OR

To group the tables that are related to each other, we need to identify common 1
fields among the tables that can establish relationships. Based on the given fields,
here are the potential relationships:

1. Table1 and Table3: ½

○ Common field: Field2
○ Reason: Table3 has Field2, which matches with Table1.
2. Table2 and Table4: ½
○ Common field: Field13
 ○ Reason: Table4 has Field13, which matches with Table2.
