d. None of the above
11. The unclassified data which are highly disorganized are called ………
12. To draw meaningful conclusions from raw data is a tedious task because:
a. They are highly disorganized
b. They are often very large and cumbersome to handle.
c. They do not yield to statistical methods easily
d. All of the above.
13. After collecting data, the next step is to --------- and present them in a classified form.

There are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Read the statements and choose
the appropriate option from the options given below:
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A)
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of
Assertion (A)
(c) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true
(d) Both are false
Assertion (A): Classification of data using time dimensions has more accuracy as compare to
other forms of classification.
Reason (R): Data can be presented, once it is classified as per the need of investigation.
