Question 47
|
In the index allocation scheme of blocks to a file, the maximum possible size of the file depends on
|
the size of the blocks, and the size of the address of the blocks.
|
|
|
the number of blocks used for the index, and the size of the blocks.
|
|
|
the size of the blocks, the number of blocks used for the index, and the size of the address of the blocks.
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Question 47 Explanation:
No. of addressable blocks using one Index block (A) = Size of block/Size of block address.
No. of block addresses available for addressing one file(B) =
No. of Maximum blocks we can use for the Index * No. of addressable blocks using one Index block(A)
Size of File = B * Size of Block
No. of block addresses available for addressing one file(B) =
No. of Maximum blocks we can use for the Index * No. of addressable blocks using one Index block(A)
Size of File = B * Size of Block
Correct Answer: C
