Assume that each character code consists of 8 bits. The number of characters that can be transmitted per second through an synchronous serial line at 2400 baud rate, and with two stop bits is
- A. 109
- B. 216
- C. 218
- D. 219
Answer: C. 218
Explanation: Total bits per char = 1 start + 8 data + 2 stop = 11 bits. Rate = 2400 / 11 = 218.18.
