required bit rate of the channel?
a) 1.846 Mbps
b) 1.536 Mbps
c) 2.4 Mbps
d) None of the Mentioned

Answer: b
Explanation: Average No, of lines u=in each page = 24
Each line has 80 char.Each char required 8 bits.100 x 24 x 80 x 8 = 1,536,000=1536 Mbps.
8. A packet has arrived in which the offset value is 100, the value of HLEN is 5 and the value of the LT1
total length field is 100. What is the number of the last byte
a) 880
b) 879
c) 881
d) 801

Answer: b
Explanation:
Total data bytes = total length – header length = 80 bytes in this datagram.Last byte is therefore
879.
9. In an IP packet, the value of HLEN is 516 and the value of the total length field is 002816.What is LT1
the efficiency of this datagram?
a) 80%
b) 50%
c) 66%
d) 75%

Answer: b
Explanation:
Total number of bytes in the header = 5 x 4 = 20 bytes.
Total length = 0028_16 = 40 bytes.
Data carried by the packet = (40 – 20) = 20 bytes.
Efficiency = payload length / total length = 20/40= 50%.
