  1. How many 8-bit characters can be transmitted per second over a 9600 baud serial communication link using asynchronous mode of transmission with one start bit, eight data bits, two stop bits and one parity bit?
    1. 600
    2. 800
    3. 876
    4. 1200
Correct Option: B

Serial communication link (baud)
=
9600
=
9600
= 800
(start bit + data bit + end bit + parity bit)1 + 8 + 2 + 112

Hence, 800 8-bit characters can be transmitted per second over a 9600 baud serial communication link using asynchronous mode of transmission.
