Consider the following HTML code: Task Completion Status : 80% Completed Choose true statement(s) about the output displayed on web page : I: Text 'Task Completion Status:' is displayed. II: Text '80% Completed' is not displayed. III: A graphical gauge, 80% filled with colour is displayed.

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (4): The HTML \ element is designed to represent a scalar measurement within a known range, typically displayed as a graphical gauge or progress bar. Statement I is true because the text "Task Completion Status :" is simple, plain content placed directly into the document flow, outside the \ tag, and will be rendered by the browser as normal text. Statement III is true because the core function of the \ tag is to display a graphical gauge, and the `value="0.8"` attribute tells the browser to visually represent a value that is 80% of the default maximum value of 1.0, hence the gauge will be 80% filled. Crucially, Statement II is also true because the text "80% Completed" is **fallback content** placed between the opening and closing \ tags. This content is *only* displayed by older browsers that do not support the \ element; modern, compliant browsers that render the graphical gauge (as per Statement III) will automatically suppress the display of this fallback text. Therefore, all three statements accurately describe the modern web page output. The incorrect option is (1): This option states that only statements I and II are true, but it fails to include Statement III, which describes the primary purpose and visible output of the HTML code. The entire point of using the `` tag with `value="0.8"` is to display a graphical representation—a gauge that is 80% filled. By omitting Statement III, this option is incomplete, as it ignores the fundamental, intended, and correct graphical output of the HTML5 element being assessed. The incorrect option is (2): This option claims that statements II and III are true but incorrectly omits Statement I. Statement I, "Text 'Task Completion Status:' is displayed," must be true, as it is standard text placed before the `` tag on the page. The browser will render all non-tag-specific content as written. Excluding this simple and certain piece of text is a mistake, indicating an incomplete analysis of all content present on the page, not just the elements within the new HTML5 tag. The incorrect option is (3): This option selects I and III as true but implicitly suggests that Statement II is false, meaning it implies the fallback text is displayed. The text between the `` tags is designed to be hidden by supporting browsers to avoid visual redundancy with the graphical gauge. Since a browser displaying the gauge will hide the text, Statement II ("Text '80% Completed' is not displayed") is factually correct, making Option 3 incorrect because it is missing a true statement (II) and relies on an incorrect assumption about the display of fallback content.
