Consider two cache organizations: The first one is 32 KB 2-way set associative with 32-byte block size. The second one is of the same size but direct mapped. The size of an address is 32 bits in both cases. A 2-to-1 multiplexer has a latency of 0.6 ns while a k-bit comparator has a latency of k/10 ns. The hit latency of the set associative organization is h1 while that of the direct mapped one is h2. The value of h1 is:

  1. A.

    2.4 ns

  2. B.

    2.3 ns

  3. C.

    1.8 ns

  4. D.

    1.7 ns
