The address space provided for each and every user for 16MB is
- A.
23 bit
- B.
31 bit
- C.
24 bit
- D.
33 bit
Correct Answer
C. 24 bitExplanation
The address space provided for each and every user for 16MB is 24 bits. This means that each user is allocated a unique address range within the 16MB memory space. With 24 bits, it is possible to represent 2^24 different addresses, which is sufficient to cover the entire 16MB address space.Rate this question:
