A tuple is an ordered and immutable collection of elements. Once a tuple is created, its elements cannot be modified, added, or removed. An immutable data type is a data type that cannot be changed after it is created.
Let’s see why the assertion and the reasoning are true and how they are related.
Assertion(A): Tuple is an immutable data type. This statement is TRUE , because it is the definition of a tuple. A tuple is an immutable data type that cannot be modified after it is created.
Reasoning (R): An immutable data type cannot be modified after it is created. This statement is TRUE , because it is the definition of an immutable data type. An immutable data type cannot be changed after it is created.
The reasoning R is the correct explanation for the assertion A, because it gives the general property of an immutable data type, which applies to a tuple as well. A tuple is an example of an immutable data type, so it inherits the property of not being modifiable after creation.
So, the correct answer is a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A.
