Which subnet includes the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address?

• A. 192.168.1.64/26
• B. 192.168.1.32/27
• C. 192.168.1.32/28
• D. 192.168.1.64/29

Answer: (A)

To determine which subnet includes the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address, it's important to first understand the subnetting for each of the options provided. The option with 192.168.1.64/26 signifies a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192. This means that the subnet consists of IP addresses from 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.127. Thus, the range for usable host addresses within this subnet is 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. The address 192.168.1.96 falls within this range, making it a valid usable host address for this subnet. Other options, when calculated, do not include 192.168.1.96 in their respective ranges: - The subnet 192.168.1.32/27, which allows addresses from 192.168.1.32 to 192.168.1.63, does not contain 192.168.1.96. - The subnet 192.168.1.32/28, having a range of 192.168.1.32 to 192.168.1

To determine which subnet includes the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address, it's important to first understand the subnetting for each of the options provided.

The option with 192.168.1.64/26 signifies a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192. This means that the subnet consists of IP addresses from 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.127.
