The size of float and double are depends from machine to machine.

I disagree @Ajit.
Because { single precision float data type has 4 bytes while a double precision float data type has 8 bytes}.
Because { single precision float data type has 4 bytes while a double precision float data type has 8 bytes}.

I agree with @Ajit that since its compiler dependent so it must be false statement.

Neither C nor C++ standard fixes the width of float or double variables. IEEE 754 standard does include this but C99 only says "The set of values of the type float is a subset of the set of values of the type double; the set of values of the type double is a subset of the set of values of the type long double".

This is compiler dependent, so the answer should be false.
