Computer Organization and Architecture

Direction: A hard disk has 63 sectors per track, 10 platters each with 2 recording surfaces and 1000 cylinders. The address of a sector is given as a triple (c, h, s), where c is the cylinder number, h is the surface number and s is the sector number. Thus, the 0th sector is addressed as ❮ 0,0,0 ❯ the 1st sector as ❮ 0,0,1 ❯, and so on.

  1. The address < 400, 16, 29 > corresponds to sector number
    1. 505035
    2. 505036
    3. 505037
    4. 505038
Correct Option: C

We have to find the sector number of the address < 400, 16, 29>
Therefore, 400 × 2 × 10 × 63 + 16 × 63 + 29 = 505037 sector
