The Token-Ring architecture was developed for a more efficient way to determine who should be transmitting at any one time. With Ethernet, collisions may take place, causing the transmitting computers to have to retransmit their data. The use of token guarantees that only one computer can transmit at a time. What happens as the network increases in size? Choose the best answer
An additional token is added for every 1,000 nodes
The speed of the Token-Ring network must be 16Mbps if the number of nodes is greater then 500
The network becomes less efficient
After the number of nodes exceeds 550, the Multistation Access Unit must be replaced by the more powerful Hyperstation Unified Bandwidth device
The network becomes more efficient

How does it become more efficient?

That is my question too. How? Please explain it.

As per the question in both case (Ethernet and token ring) only one node can transmit data at a time so if the number of nodes gets increased the probability of collision will be high in Ethernet but in token ring it won't because in token ring the node will transmit data only after getting the token but in Ethernet career sensing is done and there if there are large number of nodes the distance between nodes increases and if distance increases efficiency decreases.
