Answer: 80000 bits per second Explanation Transfer Time(let Ty) given as 1 cycle. Let Preparation Time be Tx. Processor operating frequency given as 2 MHz, from this we can calculate Cycle Time = 1/2MHz = 0.5 micro seconds. %time CPU blocked = 0.5% (Given) For cycle stealing mode, %time CPU blocked = (transfer time/preparation time)*100, putting the values in this formula, 0.5% = 1 cycle/Tx Tx = 100 micro second. The Tx depends upon device data transfer rate. Now DMA is transferring 8 bit data, and to prepare 8 bits of data, time required by the device is 100 micro seconds, so we can… [...]

Given that, $ 4^{n} . 17^{19} $ Taking the $ \log_{10}$ both sides. $ \log_{10}4^{n} . \log_{10} 17^{19} $ $ \Rightarrow n \log_{10}4 . 19 \log_{10}17 \; [ \because \log_{b}a^{x} = x \log_{b}a] $ $ \Rightarrow n > 19 \left( \frac{\log_{10}17}{ \log_{4}17} \right) $ $ \Rightarrow n > 19 ( \log_{4}17) \; \left[ \log_{b}a = \frac{ \log_{x}a}{ \log_{x}b} \right] $ For easy calculation, let us assume $17 \approx 16.$ Now, $ n > 19 ( \log_{4} 16)$ $ \Rightarrow n > 19 ( \log_{4} 4^{2})$ $ \Rightarrow n > 19 \times 2 ( \log_{4}4)$ $ \Rightarrow $ [...]
