This question asked in JAN 2017 PAPER 3
Question 28:
In a packet switching network, if the message size is 48 bytes and each packet contains a header of 3 bytes. If 24 packets are required to transmit the message, the packet size is ……
(1) 2 bytes
(2) 1 byte
(3) 4 bytes
(4) 5 bytes
Explanation:
Write given data in question. say;
Message size is 48 bytes.
Each packet contains a header of 3 bytes.
Packets are required to transmit is 24 packets.
The packet size = (Message size / Packets are required to transmit) + size of Packet
= (48 bytes / 24 packets) + 3 = 2 bytes + 3 bytes = 5 bytes.
