    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.
