Question

When we use &&, the second command is executed only when first succeeds.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during a job interview.

My question is taken from Logical Operators and Conditional Execution in chapter Essential Shell Programming of Unix

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

Explanation: The shell provides two operators that allow conditional execution, one of which is &&. It delimits two commands; the second command is executed only when the first command succeeds.
