Arrange the following computer storage capacities from highest to lowest capacity (1K = 1024): A. 1000000 kilobytes, B. 100000 megabytes, C. 1 terabyte, D. 10000000000 bytes, E. 100 gigabytes. Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
1.1000000 kilobytes
2.100000 megabytes
3.1 terabyte
4.10000000000 bytes
5.100 gigabytes
A5, 3, 2, 4, 1
B1, 5, 2, 4, 3
C4, 3, 5, 2, 1
D3, 5, 2, 4, 1 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 3, 5, 2, 4, 1
Explanation
Placing all values in bytes shows 1 terabyte, statement 3, is the largest at roughly 1.1 trillion bytes.
Next is 100 gigabytes, statement 5, at about 107 billion bytes.
Then 100000 megabytes, statement 2, at about 105 billion bytes, just below 100 gigabytes.
After that comes 10000000000 bytes, statement 4, which is 10 billion bytes.
Smallest is 1000000 kilobytes, statement 1, at about 1 billion bytes.
Converting every quantity to the same unit is the reliable way to compare storage sizes.
