Problem 3: An organization is granted a block of addresses starting with 132.100.24.0/23 (512 addresses). The
organization needs to have four sub-blocks of addresses to use in its four subnets. Sub-blocks are designed in such a
way that 1st one can accommodate 256 addresses, 2nd can accommodate 128 addresses and remaining two sub-
blocks can accommodate 64 addresses each (including network address and broadcast address). With reference to this
scenario, answer the following: [2+2+2+2 = 8 Marks]
