Question

Which are true about FAT32?

Option 1: When formatted, the Master File Table (MFT) is created
Option 2: Smaller clusters for more efficient storage capacity
Option 3: 32-bit version of File Allocation Table
Option 4: Designed for floppy diskettes

Answer 1

FAT32 is a 32-bit file system with smaller, efficiently managed clusters but does not use MFT, which is part of NTFS, and it was not exclusively designed for floppy diskettes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which statements are true about FAT32, a filesystem format. The correct statements related to FAT32 are that it uses 32-bit versions of the File Allocation Table and it has smaller clusters for more efficient storage capacity, which help in managing space on the storage device more effectively than its predecessors with larger cluster sizes. However, the statement about the Master File Table (MFT) being created when formatted is incorrect because MFT is a part of the NTFS file system, not FAT32. Additionally, while FAT32 was not specifically designed for floppy diskettes, it can be used on them; it was intended for a broader range of storage devices, including hard drives and solid state drives in its time.
