Question 94

Computer Awareness Central Processing Unit (CPU) Easy

Consider a hard disk with 16 recording surfaces (0-15) having 16384 cylinders (0-16383) and each cylinder contains 64 sectors(0-63). Data storage capacity in each sector is 512 bytes. Data are organized cyclinder-wise and the addressing format is <cylinder no., surface no., sector no.>. A file of size 42797KB is stored in the disk and the starting disk location of the file is <1200,9,40>. What is cylinder number of the last sector of the file, if it is stored in a contiguous manner?
