Pipeline and Vector Processing Q.41

A hard disk has 63 sectors per track, 10 platters each with 2 recording surfaces and 1000 cylinders. The address of a sector is given as a triple (c, h, s), where c is the cylinder number, h is the surface number and s is the sector number. Thus, the 0th sector is addressed as (0, 0, 0), the 1st sector as (0, 0, 1), and so on.

0. The address (400, 16, 29) corresponds to sector number :

  • Option : C
  • Explanation : Sector no = 400 * 20 * 63 + 16 * 63 + 29 = 505037.
