Question

Assertion (A): A clock is a real-life example of nested loops.

Reason (R): The hour hand moves through 12 positions, while the minute hand moves through 60 positions within each hour.

Options

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is a correct explanation of (A).

• Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not a correct explanation of (A).

• (A) is true and (R) is false.

• (A) is false and (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is a correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

Since the hour hand moves for 12 times and with each iteration of the hour hand, the minute hand moves for 60 times, it is a nested loop i.e., loop inside a loop.
