(ii) Constant Angular velocity

A
(i) 80 MB (ii) 360 MB

Solution

The correct option is B (i) 360 MB (ii) 80 MB
In Constant Linear Velocity, the density
of bits is increases from outer most
cyclinder to inner most cylinder. So,
Constant Linear Velocity=10+20+30+40+...80

=360 MB

In Constant Angular Velocity, the disk
rotates at a constant angular speed, with
the bit density decreasing on outer
cyclinders.

So,

Constant Linear Velocity=Number of track × Capacity of each track

=8×10 MB=80 MB
