You need to subnet a network that has 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. Which classful subnet mask would you use?
255.255.255.192
255.255.255.224
255.255.255.240
255.255.255.248
Answer: Option
Explanation:
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.

As we require 16 Host in each subnet. We will first check Binary Table.

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1.

If we take 16 we will not get 16 usable IP we will only get 14 usable IP. 2 ID will be taken for Subnet id and Broadcast ID.

So will take 32.

Now if we check mask it will be created like below:
11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000

By converting this into decimal it will then become: 255.255.255.224

This is the right answer.

Suppose you are given the following class C IP address: 192.100.1.1. You need to perform Subnetting in such a way that you get 3 (three) subnets such that each subnet contains 62 (sixty two) valid hosts.

You need to specify the network and broadcast address of each subnet and the valid host range in each of the subnet. Please solve it as early as possible.

Class c default subnet mask \24 like 255.255.255.0

Example:

Converting bit 1, n=2^1=2.

Converting bit 2, n=2^2=4.

Converting bit 3, n=2^3=8.

So first converting bit 1 is two subnets, second one is 4 subnets and third one is 8
Subnets support. We want 5 subnets so by using 3 converting bits.

Default network bits+converting bits, N+n = 24+3 = 27.

By using subnetmask 255.255.255.224

class c
192.168.2.0

Subnets = 5.
Hosts = 16.

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0.
and

2^5 - 2=30 host
2^3 = 8 subnets.
So,
255.255.255.224.

Prove if a host on a network has the address 172.16.45.14/30, the broadcast address of the subnet is 172.16.45.15.

Thank you @Peeyush.

@Roopa

Why the best value for h is 5?

Isn't it would be 9 because h=18/9.

225.255.255.192=/26 so 24+2(2N we need to borrow) formula 2^2=4 subnets.
for hosts 256-192=64 hosts.
255.255.255.224=/27 so 24+3(3n we need to borrow)formula 2^n=2^3=8 sub.
for hosts 256-224=32 hosts.
255.255.255.240=/28 so 24+4(4N we need to borrow) formula 2^N=16 subnets.
for hosts 256-240=16 hosts.
