Understanding Memory Storage Units

To determine the correct increasing order of memory storage capacity, we need to understand the standard units used in computing and their relationships.

• Kilobyte (KB): Typically represents 1024 bytes.
• Megabyte (MB): Represents 1024 kilobytes.
• Gigabyte (GB): Represents 1024 megabytes.
• Terabyte (TB): Represents 1024 gigabytes.
• Petabyte (PB): Represents 1024 terabytes.

Memory Capacity Conversion Factors

The conversion factor between consecutive units is 1024. We can express the relationship as follows:

• $1 \text{ MB} = 1024 \text{ KB}$
• $1 \text{ GB} = 1024 \text{ MB}$
• $1 \text{ TB} = 1024 \text{ GB}$
• $1 \text{ PB} = 1024 \text{ TB}$

Therefore, the increasing order of these units based on their capacity is:

Kilobyte (KB) < Megabyte (MB) < Gigabyte (GB) < Terabyte (TB) < Petabyte (PB)

Mapping Units to Provided Options

The question assigns letters to specific units:

• C = Kilobyte (KB)
• E = Megabyte (MB)
• D = Gigabyte (GB)
• B = Terabyte (TB)
• A = Petabyte (PB)

Determining the Correct Order

Based on the established increasing order of units (KB < MB < GB < TB < PB), we map these to their corresponding letters:

C < E < D < B < A

This sequence represents the correct increasing order of memory storage capacity.

The correct increasing order is C, E, D, B, A.
