    F. 172.31.192.0 /18

    Answer: DE

    The /20 provides a mask of 255.255.240.0, with the "interesting" last bit falling on the binary point equalling 16. Therefore, this summary address would include every subnet from 172.31.80, plus 16 more... ending at 172.31.96.0

    Based on that range, only D and E apply.

    HTH's,

    There are only 10 kinds of people... those who understand binary, and those that don't.
