A.
104.26.208.1
B.
104.26.208.31
C.
104.26.208.224
D.
104.26.208.240
E.
104.208.26.255
Explanation:
This question requires a bit of subnetting. An excellent resource to learn this is http://www.learntosubnet.com.
Now the part we have to look into is the subnetmask 255.255.255.224. The subnetmask defines which hosts are in the same subnet or not. In this case we look at 224. First we must convert this decimal number do the binary format. 224 decimal is : 11100000 in binary. As you can see the first 3 bits are 1’s , so we have 5 bits left for our hosts. So we can 00000 till 11111 for our hosts. Lets convert that back to decimal 00000 = 0 and 11111 = 31 in decimal format. In this scenario 104.26.208.1 and 104.26.208.31 would be in the same subnet.
