Question

Consider the following statements: Statement A: In Duplex transmission, either node can transmit while the other node can receive data Statement B: In half-duplex transmission, both the nodes can transmit as well as receive data at the same time. Which of the following is true with respect to the above statements?
a. Both statements A and B are false
b. Statement A is false and statement B is true
c. Both statements A and B are true
d. Statement A is true and statement B is false

Answer 1

Answer:

d. Statement A is true and Statement B is false

Explanation:

Indeed, when using duplex transmission either node can transmit while the other node can receive data from the network. Also, in half-duplex transmission, both the nodes can transmit as well as receive data.

However, in half-duplex transmission, the nodes cannot transmit and receive data at the same time. Hence, this makes Statement B false, while Statement A is true.
