                Here the subnet mask is 248.0 because of class B network.
It's binary 11111000.00000000
5 bits for network
2^5 = 32 - 2(network id & broadcast id) = 30
Thus, 30 subnets are available.

                Network id and broadcast id belongs to host id. So, 32 is the right answer.

                Network id and broadcast id belongs to a given subnet , subnet mask of 248 = 11111000 , N= 5 , Total subnets = 2^N , 2^5 = 32.
So the final and correct answer is Total subnets = 2^N, 2^5 = 32.
                So the final and correct answer is Total subnets = 2^N, 2^5 = 32.

                Yes, the answer is 32.

                Subnet mask 248.
Block size=256-248=8.
Number of subnet formed=subnet mask/blocksize - 1.
= (248/8)-1 = 30.

                3rd octet so given subnet Mask is 248 while 256 is full bits so final dedicated bits like  2^0+2^1 = 3 is subtracted from 248.
then 248-3 = 5;
So 5 subnets masks are available and we know;
subnet = 2^n here the value of n is 5,
So 2^5=32.
