A computer on a 10 Mbps network is regulated by a token bucket. The token bucket is filled at a rate of 2 Mbps. It is initially filled to capacity with 16 Megabits. What is the maximum duration for which the computer can transmit at the full 10 Mbps?

- 1.6 s
- 2 s
- 5 s
- 8 s
- 1.6 s
Correct Option: B
Let the duration of transmission be x s.
Transmission Network of Computer by y s
Network initially filled with p Megabits
Initial rate of transmission be q per second
Now, from the above, we can easily formulate
y + qx = xy ⇒ y = x (y – q)
⇒ 16 = x(10 – 2) ⇒ x = 2
