  1. Question 1

    Q1. A disk has 10 platters, 1000 tracks per platter, and 100 sectors per track. What is the total storage capacity if each sector holds 512 bytes?

    • A) 10 * 1000 * 100 * 512
    • B) 10 * 1000 * 100 * 512 bytes
    • C) 2 * 10 * 1000 * 100 * 512 bytes
    • D) 1000 * 100 * 512 bytes

    Answer: 2 * 10 * 1000 * 100 * 512 bytes

    Explanation: Total capacity = 2 * number of platters * tracks per platter * sectors per track * bytes per sector, considering both sides of platters.
