Mohit the coder (M.S.D) i think you find this answer from this site... https://superuser.com/questions/566859/how-do-we-calculate-cd-writing-speed I already read these answer.. but the problem is these answers are not in my question paper... 24MB 27.456MiB 24MiB 28.8MiB 29MiB these answers are here in my paper.

Single speed CDROMs read up to 75 sectors per second. A data sector on a CDROM is 2048 bytes. So read speed for an "1x CDROM" is 150 KiB/sec. I bolded 'up to' since not all drives reach this speed. Many drives from that area managed 130-140 KiB/sec. Regardless, 150KB/sec is the current accepted speed for an 1x CDROM. A CDROM is called 2x if it can read up to 300 KiB/sec (2x150) A CDROM is called 4x if it can read up to 600 KiB/sec (4x150) ... 24 speed is 24x150 KiB/sec is 3600 KiB/sec. My answer is in KiB since a data sector on a CDROM is 2048 bytes, or 2 KiB. If you want it in MB:  3600/1000 -> 3.6 MB/sec If you want it in MiB: 3600/1024 -> 3.51 MiB/sec

Dilhara Abeysinghe as your answer I came on conclusion that the speed of cdroms read up to 500 sector per second then 1×CDROM is 1000kib/sec so 24×1000 is 24000 and 24000 /1000= 24mb
