Sixteen channels of \( 3 \ \mathrm{kHz} \) each are multiplexed, each coded to \( 7 \) bits and sampled at \( 8 \ \mathrm{kHz} \). The aggregate bit rate is

  • A.1024 kbit/s
  • B.336 kbit/s
  • C.896 kbit/s
  • D.384 kbit/s

Answer: C

Rate per channel times the number of channels:

\[ \begin{aligned} 8000 \times 7 &= 56 \ \mathrm{kbit/s} \\ 16 \times 56 &= 896 \ \mathrm{kbit/s} \end{aligned} \]

giving 896 kbit/s before overhead. The 3 kHz figure is a distractor: the sampling rate is given directly and the signal bandwidth plays no further part. Spotting which of the quoted numbers the calculation does not need is half the work in a question of this shape. Working one numerical case through both schemes side by side fixes the distinction better than any rule of thumb.
