For example:
enum status{pass,fail}var;
enum var jhon=pass;
printf("%d",sizeof(jhon));
Will print 2 bcause the values in pass, fail are treated as integer by the compiler like 0, 1, 2, ... and so on.
Thats why the size is 2 under TurboC compiler and 4 in GCC compiler.

The reason is that value of each enum element must lie within the range of int.

enum always returns integer only so size is always 2 bytes

If we had to variables had been initialised then, wat kind of o/p we would get?.

@Janak
It will display a junk/garbage value (the value stored by other programs previously in that memory location reserved for the variable in the current program).

Value inside enum is not properly arranged then how the answer came 2. It is my doubt only.

As it is an int type it gives 2 as answer.
