The correct option is A 10
A double sided magnetic
disk pack has six disks. 10 surfaces of this pack are normally used.
In computer science, a
double-sided disk is a disk of which both sides are used to store data. Early
floppy disks only used one surface for recording. The term single-sided disk
was not common until the introduction of the double-sided disk, which offered
double the capacity in the same physical size. Initially, double-sided disks
had to be removed and flipped over to access data on the other side, but
eventually devices were made that could read both sides without the need to
eject the disk.
A storage device for a
computer that consists of a stack of magnetic disks mounted on a central hub
and their removable protective cover and that can be handled and stored as a
unit.
