You have a network ID of 192.168.10.0 and require at least 25 host IDs for each subnet, with the largest amount of subnets available. Which subnet mask should you assign?
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
255.255.255.255

128+64+32= 224.not 242. Please check.

It's class C.

So in HID, we have 8bit.

5bit for host remains 3 then 128+64+32= 242.
255.255.255.242.

D is the right answer.

I agree with the given answer i.e option B.

D is the right answer because we need 5 bits for 25 host IDs. So we will pick first five bits from left which will be like this.

128+64+32+16+8 = 248. So D is right option.

It requires 25 host IDs in class C.
dec(25) = bin(11001) total 5 bits required.
In last part there are 8 bits.

11111111 = 255 ---> but we need 5 bits for 25 host IDs.
So, 11100000 = 224.

So the subnet mask is 255.255.255.224.
