Question:medium

Arrange the following capacities of storage units according to their sizes (smallest to largest)
A. 1 GB
B. 1 MB
C. 1 TB
D. 1 KB

Show Hint

A simple mnemonic for the order is "Killing Mega Giants' Terrors". - KiloByte (KB) - MegaByte (MB) - GigaByte (GB) - TeraByte (TB) Each step up is roughly 1000 times larger.

  • D, B, A, C
  • D, B, C, A
  • A, B, D, C
Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand digital storage unit hierarchy.
These units, based on powers of 2 (or 10), increase roughly by 1000 (or 1024) with each step.

Step 2: Order prefixes from smallest to largest.
Kilo (K) < Mega (M) < Giga (G) < Tera (T)

Step 3: Arrange the units accordingly.
- Smallest: 1 KB (Kilobyte) (D)
- Next: 1 MB (Megabyte) (B)
- Next: 1 GB (Gigabyte) (A)
- Largest: 1 TB (Terabyte) (C)

Step 4: Determine the final sequence.
The correct order: D, B, A, C.
