A/26 subnetmeans26 bits for the networkand6 bits for host addressing(32 - 26 = 6):

2⁶ = 64 total addresses per subnet

64 - 2 =62 usable host addresses per subnet

/24 to /26 increases subnet bits by 2, so:

2² =4 subnetsfrom one /24

But the question asks aboutusing /26, which means:

From /24 → each /26 block gives64 IPs

So you get4 subnets total

But the options must be interpreted carefully!

→Let's calculate again properly:

/26 = 64 addresses per subnet (2⁶)

Usable hosts per subnet = 64 - 2 = 62

Number of subnets in /24 when divided by /26 = 2^(26 - 24) = 4 subnets

So correct result is:

4 subnets, 62 hosts per subnet→Correct Answer: C

However,Option D says 8 subnets, 30 hosts per subnet, which actually matches a/27 mask, not /26.

Final Correct Answer:C
