@All.

Refer Deepak's answer. You will understand clearly.

I did not get things clearly. Can you please explain me?

However, with half-duplex, it is shared access CSMA/CD. Since only one person can successfully transmit at one time, it is still 10 MB.

What is the answer if it is full duplex?

This according to the Switch manages the bandwidth to 10mbps to each user. Its like hub provide 1mbps to PC but switch provide 10 mbps to server.

In case if it is full duplex, even then will we have 10 mbps, as a switch tries to provide full bandwidth to each user?

A 10/100Mbps hub must share its bandwidth with each and every one of its ports. So when only one PC is broadcasting, it will have access to the maximum available bandwidth. If, however, multiple PCs are broadcasting, then that bandwidth will need to be divided among all of those systems, which will degrade performance.

A switch, however, keeps a record of the MAC addresses of all the devices connected to it. With this information, a switch can identify which system is sitting on which port. So when a frame is received, it knows exactly which port to send it to, without significantly increasing network response times.

And, unlike a hub, a 10/100Mbps switch will allocate a full 10/100Mbps to each of its ports. So regardless of the number of PCs transmitting, users will always have access to the maximum amount of bandwidth. It's for these reasons a switch is considered to be a much better choice then a hub.

No, since last mile is Hub, that is on layer 1 device and doesn't break broadcast domain as well collision domain, so it will share the available bandwidth into no of connected users. Answer B is valid.

Can some one give clarify it.

How is it 10 mbps?
