QUESTION 1:
Statement 1: Virtual sensors act as an image in the software of the corresponding physical
sensors.

Statement 2: Virtual sensor is an emulation of a physical sensor that obtains its data from
underlying physical sensors

a. Statement 1 is True and Statement 2 is False

b. Statement 2 is True and Statement 1 is False
c. Both statements are True
d. Both statements are False

Correct Answer: c

Detailed Solution: Virtual sensors act as an image in the software of the corresponding
physical sensors and it is an emulation of a physical sensor that obtains its data from underlying
physical sensors. So, the both statements are true.
