How many characters per sec (7 bits + 1 parity) can be transmitted over a 2400 bps line if the transfer is synchronous (1 start and 1 stop bit)?
- A. 300
- B. 250
- C. 240
- D. 275
Answer: C. 240
Explanation: Total bits per char = 1 start + 7 data + 1 parity + 1 stop = 10 bits. 2400 / 10 = 240 cps.
