How many characters per second (7 bits + 1 parity) can be transmitted over a 2400 bps line if the transfer is asynchronous (1 start and 1 stop bit)?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) 240
Explanation
Each character takes 1 start + 7 data + 1 parity + 1 stop = 10 bits, so 2400 / 10 = 240 characters per second.
