41.
With an IP address set starting with 150, you currently have six offices that you are treating as subnets. Plans are in place to open 10 more offices before the end of the year. What subnet mask should you use to satisfy the needed number of subnets and maximize the number of hosts available at each site?

(10+6)=16 ; subnets need.
(16+2)=18 ; 2 from subnet id and broadcast address
2^5 =32 ; 5 bits for subnets. so the answer is 11111000.

This is wrong as subnet id and broadcast address is associated with host bits not with subnet bits.

How we get 248?
As per me 240 is the answer.
255.255.1111 0000.0000.0000. So 2^4 = 16 subnets.

240 is the correct answer because we need adjacently 16 subnets not 18.
There is not any broadcast and subnet id separate subnets.
