A byte consists of how many bits ?
Answer: A
A byte consists of 8 bits.
A bit is a single binary digit, 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte, which can represent 28 = 256 different values, enough for one character in codes such as ASCII and EBCDIC. Larger units build on it: a kilobyte is 1,024 bytes.
Half a byte, 4 bits, is called a nibble, and 16 bits is two bytes, often called a word on older machines. 9 and 10 bits are not the size of a byte.
