You are working with a network that has the network ID 192.168.10.0. What subnet should you use that supports up to 25 hosts and a maximum number of subnets?
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.252
Answer: Option

The formula for finding the host is 2n (where n indicates the number of host bits)

We required 5 host bits (2n = 25) = 32

Now, let's find the subnet mask.

Hence, 5 bits are reserved for the host. There are 3 bits remaining for the network. Count the value of all the remaining three bits (27 + 26 + 25 = 224).

Therefore, the new subnet mask you will get is 255.255.255.224.

B is correct.

2^n-2> = number of host.
2^n-2> = 25 then what number exponent to 2 and near reach of 25 or above
2^5-2> = 25 were 5 match is remaining host bits on host portion, then the borrowed bits from host portion are 3bits...then 3 bits match to 224 in binary ..11100000 last 0 take 0, second 0 from 1, p to n 0 then take 2^5+2^6+2^7 = 224.

We required 25 subnets.

2^4<100<2^5 OR 16<100<32.
no of subnets are 2^5 = 32 (no of 1's are 5).
Since default subnet mask of class c is 255.255.255.0.

i.e. 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 so 5 more 1 will get add so it will be;

11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000 i.e. 255.255.255.248.

For 25 hosts you need minimum 5 bit i.e 2^5 = 32.

Therefore, the 5 bit of the last octet in ip address would be reserved for host and the remaining would act as subnet.

So, in bit wise it would be 11111111.11111111.11111111.111*****
Which is 255.255.255.224

How it is possible? What is the logic behind this? Can anyone explain this? This kind of questions are frequently asking in gate.

Same doubt as Piyush, please explain us @Prabhash Singh.

B is correct.

It is about subnet @Sibasish.

Gee said:   7 years ago
Please, anyone,explain the correct answer.

How is that three 1's coming in the end?
