In a fully-connected mesh network with 10 computers, total ______ number of cables are required and ______ number of ports are required for each device.
(A) 40,9
(B) 45,10
(C) 45,9
(D) 50,10
Answer: (C)
Explanation: Since each two host need a cable so n(n-1)/2 cabels needed and n – 1 number of ports are required.
i.e. 10(10 – 1) / 2 = 5 * 9 = 45 cables.
9 number of ports are required for each device.
So, option (C) is correct.
