Correct Answerसही उत्तर

D. 8D. 8

Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 8.
According to the source, in computing one byte is equal to 8 bits.
Therefore the direct source-supported relationship is: 1 Byte = 8 Bits.
The other values, 4, 16 and 24, are distractors.
This question reinforces an earlier entry in the same book where the source identifies Bit as the smallest unit of data and provides the conversion 8 bits = 1 byte.
It also connects with the question that defines a Nibble as half a byte.
Students should therefore keep the source's basic unit relationships together: Bit — smallest unit; 8 Bits = 1 Byte; Nibble = Half Byte.
The current question itself does not provide any further explanation beyond the 8-bit equivalence.
The book does not discuss word size, binary representation, ASCII, kilobytes or alternative definitions in this particular entry.
Therefore those details have not been added as source-derived information.
This fact may be tested directly or in reverse form: how many bits make one byte? — 8; or 8 bits are equal to what? — one byte.
Quick revision: 8 Bits = 1 Byte.
Therefore option (d), 8, is correct.

सही उत्तर 8 है। स्रोत के अनुसार computing में 1 Byte = 8 Bits होता है। इसलिए direct source-supported relationship है: 1 Byte = 8 Bits। 4, 16 और 24 distractors हैं। यह question earlier source fact को reinforce करता है जहां Bit को smallest unit of data बताया गया था और 8 bits = 1 byte दिया गया था। इसी section में Nibble = Half Byte भी बताया गया है। इसलिए basic unit relationships साथ में revise करें: Bit — Smallest Unit; 8 Bits = 1 Byte; Nibble = Half Byte। Current question की explanation केवल 8-bit equivalence देती है और further detail नहीं देती। Book यहां word size, binary representation, ASCII, kilobyte conversion या alternative definitions discuss नहीं करती। इसलिए outside information add नहीं की गई है। Reverse question में पूछा जा सकता है: 8 bits किसके बराबर होते हैं? Answer — 1 Byte। Quick revision: 8 Bits = 1 Byte। इसलिए विकल्प (d), 8, सही उत्तर है।
