Consider the following two statements about interrupt handling mechanisms in a CPU.
S1: In non-vectored interrupt mechanism, it usually takes more time to start the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) when compared to that in a vectored interrupt mechanism.
S2: In daisy-chain interrupt mechanism, the CPU polls all the input devices individually to determine the source of the interrupt.
Which one of the following options is correct with respect to S1 and S2?
