Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

Digital quantities are related through fixed units and positional notation. A byte contains 8 bits, and a binary number is converted to decimal by summing each bit multiplied by its power of 2.

Transfer time equals data size divided by transfer rate after both are expressed in matching units. Under the binary convention used here, 1 kilobyte equals 210 bytes.

Application

  1. For A, one byte contains 8 bits, so A matches II.

  2. For B, binary 0011112 equals 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 15 in decimal, so B matches IV.

  3. For C, 75 megabytes = 75 × 8 = 600 megabits. At 2 megabits per second, time = 600 ÷ 2 = 300 seconds = 5 minutes, so C matches I.

  4. For D, 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes and 1024 = 210. Hence P = 10, so D matches III.
