Question


Which of the following is the correct ascending order of memory units as per the storage capacity (smallest comes first)?

A.

GB < MB < KB

B.

KB < MB < GB

C.

GB < KB < MB

D.

MB < KB < GB

Correct option is B

The correct ascending order of memory units is KB < MB < GB. A kilobyte (KB) is smaller than a megabyte (MB), which in turn is smaller than a gigabyte (GB).
Important Key Points:
1. KB (Kilobyte): Approximately 1,024 bytes.
2. MB (Megabyte): Approximately 1,024 kilobytes.
3. GB (Gigabyte): Approximately 1,024 megabytes.
4. Memory units are used to measure storage capacity in computing devices.
Knowledge Booster:
· With modern technology, storage capacities are typically measured in GB (gigabytes) and TB (terabytes) for personal computing devices.
· MB was commonly used in the early 2000s, but with the growth of media content, GB and higher are now more common.
· Terabyte (TB) is the next step above GB, and Petabyte (PB) is used for large-scale data centers and cloud storage solutions.
