The data transfer rate through the modem connection is 4096 bps. it took 10 seconds to transfer the text file over this connection. determine how many characters the transmitted text contained, if it is known that it was represented in 16-bit Unicode encoding

Let’s calculate how many bits of information were transmitted over a modem connection with a data transfer rate of 4096 bps in 10 seconds.
4,096 * 10 = 40,960 bits.
It is known that in 16-bit Unicode encoding, each character of the text is encoded in two bytes. To do this, let’s convert bits to bytes on the basis that 1 byte is equal to 8 bits.
40 960/8 = 5 120 bytes.
5,120 bytes / 2 = 2,560 characters.
Answer: 2,560 characters contained the transferred text if it is known to be represented in 16-bit Unicode.
