Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): Interrupt service routine are generally executed by CPU to handles an interrupt.
Reasons (R): CPU handles an interrupt by checking the interrupt register at fixed time intervals.
In the light of the above Statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Consider a computer system with DMA support.
The DMA module transfers one 8-bit character in one CPU cycle using cycle stealing. The processor speed is 2 MHz and 0.5% of processor cycles are used for DMA. The data transfer rate of the device is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) bits per second.
