GUYS WEVE GOT 15 PRINTERS SO 10.1.15.0/27 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER COZ 2^5=32 32-2 FOR NETWORK ID AN BROADCAST ITS GONNA BE 30 HOST EVEN IF IT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH BUT THAT THE ANSWER /28 IT WILL GIVE YOU 16-2 = 14 WE NOW SHOT WITH 1 HOST SO A IS THE ANSWER FELLAS

To support 15 network printers, you need a subnet with enough host addresses. The number of available host addresses in each subnet is given by 2^(32 - subnet mask). Let's evaluate the options: A. 10.1.15.0/27 - 2^(32-27) = 2^5 = 32 host addresses (more than needed) B. 10.8.4.0/30 - 2^(32-30) = 2^2 = 4 host addresses (not enough) C. 10.10.8.0/28 - 2^(32-28) = 2^4 = 16 host addresses (sufficient) D. 10.15.1.0/29 - 2^(32-29) = 2^3 = 8 host addresses (not enough) Therefore, option C (10.10.8.0/28) is the best choice as it provides enough host addresses to support the 15 network printers while minimizing address wastage.

In your formula it should be 2^(32 - subnet) - 2 (the subtract of 2 account for network and broadcast address). So Options would not have enough host to accommodate 15 hosts. Therefore options A is suitable for 15 hosts

id say C)/28. /28 gives you 16 host addresses which is enough for 15 printers.
