Network Security Administrator (NSA, legacy) — Question 10

How many sectors will a 125 KB file use in a FAT32 file system?

Answer options

• A. 32
• B. 16
• C. 256
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A FAT32 file system typically has a sector size of 512 bytes. To find out how many sectors a 125 KB file would use, you divide 125,000 bytes by 512 bytes per sector, which results in 244.14. Since you cannot have a fraction of a sector, you round up to 256 sectors. Therefore, option C is correct, while the other options are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation.
