Answer 1

Answer:

• The CHAR type data can hold at most 256 characters.

• CHAR type can hold 1 BYT of 8 BITS.

• BYT => byte (1 BYT = 0.001 KILOBYTE).

• Calculating in binary notation its value is like 2^8 =256.

Thats,

⇢ 2^8

⇢ 256

⇢ 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

⇢ 256

We get 256 because,

• 2 = (8 times multiplying with 2) we get 256 and also CHART type can hold most 256 characters.

HENCE, Option (A) - 256 characters is the Required Answer.
