What is the maximum number of characters (7 bits + parity) that can be transmitted in a second on a 19.2 kbps line? This asynchronous transmission requires 1 start bit and 1 stop bit.

Correct answer: (C) 1920
Explanation
Each character needs 1 start + 7 data + 1 parity + 1 stop = 10 bits. So 19,200 bps ÷ 10 = 1920 characters per second.
