A. -64 G Bytes B. 64 M Bytes C. « 256 M Bytes D. o 1024 M Bytes E. ° more than 1024 M Bytes

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER:- Most appropriate answer is option (E) more than 1024 M Bytes

Single indirect block: – Assuming 32bit addresses, we have 4 bytes per block pointer,

so 1 KB/4 = 256 blocks – So … 256 * 1 KB = 256 KB •

Doubleindirect block: – 256 * 256 * 1 KB = 64 MB •

Triple Indirect block: – 256 * 256 * 256 * 1 KB = 16 GB • Total: ~16 GB
