UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

(f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)

We are tasked with arranging the units of storage from the smallest to the largest. Let's go through each unit to determine their order.

  1. Bit: This is the smallest unit of data in a computer. It can hold a value of either 0 or 1.
  2. Byte: Consists of 8 bits.
  3. Kilobyte (KB): Contains 1,024 bytes.
  4. Megabyte (MB): Equals 1,024 kilobytes.
  5. Gigabyte (GB): Equals 1,024 megabytes.
  6. Terabyte (TB): Equals 1,024 gigabytes.

Based on this hierarchy, the correct order from smallest to largest is:

  1. \((f) \text{Bit}\)
  2. \((b) \text{Byte}\)
  3. \((a) \text{Kilobyte}\)
  4. \((c) \text{Megabyte}\)
  5. \((e) \text{Gigabyte}\)
  6. \((d) \text{Terabyte}\)

Thus, the correct order is: \((f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)\)

By examining the options provided, this order corresponds to the answer: \((f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)\)

This confirms that the correct choice is the option: \((f), (b), (a), (c), (e), (d)\)
