A 500 GB hardisk is reported as what in Windows?
- 458 GB
- 465 GB
- 486 GB
- 495 GB
Correct Answer

A. 465 GB

Explanation

In Windows, a 500 GB hard disk is reported as 465 GB. This is because of the difference in the way storage capacity is calculated. Manufacturers use the decimal system, where 1 GB is equal to 1 billion bytes. However, Windows uses the binary system, where 1 GB is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. As a result, when Windows calculates the storage capacity, it shows a slightly lower value, which in this case is 465 GB.

At 2.2 Mbit/s and totalling 1 gigabyte—what's the duration of the SDTV video?
- One hour and a half hours
- One hour
- Two hours
- Three and a half hours
Correct Answer

A. One hour

Explanation

The given information states that the video has a total size of 1 gigabyte and is being transmitted at a rate of 2.2 Mbit/s. To determine the duration, we can convert the total size of the video from gigabytes to bits. Since 1 gigabyte is equal to 8 gigabits, the video has a total size of 8 gigabits. Dividing this by the transmission rate of 2.2 Mbit/s, we get approximately 3.64 seconds. Therefore, the duration of the SDTV video is approximately one hour.
