Consider a hard disk with 16 recording surfaces (0 – 15) having 16384 cylinders (0 – 16383) and each cylinder contains 64 sectors (0 – 63). Data storage capacity in each sector is 512 bytes. Data are organized stored in the disk and the starting disk location of the file is < 1200, 9, 40>. What is the cylinder number of the last sector of the file, if it is stored in a contiguous manner?
