A

6 and 6

B

8 and 10

C

9 and 12

D

4 and 4


(a) is the correct answer.

Ques 11 GATE 2014 SET-3


In the following pairs of OSI protocol layer/sub-layer and its functionality, the INCORRECT pair is

A

Network layer and Routing

B

Data Link Layer and Bit synchronization

C

Transport layer and End-to-end process communication

D

Medium Access Control sub-layer and Channel sharing


(b) is the correct answer.

The Network layer is responsible for routing, so this is correct.

Bit synchronization is actually a function of the Physical layer, not the Data Link layer. The Data Link layer manages framing, error detection, and frame synchronization — not bit timing — so this makes the pair incorrect.

The Transport layer ensures end-to-end process communication, so this is correct.

The Medium Access Control (MAC) sub-layer is responsible for channel sharing and deciding which device can use the channel at a given time, so this is correct.

✅ Final Answer: Option (b) — Data Link Layer and Bit synchronization.

Reason: Bit synchronization is handled by the Physical layer, not the Data Link layer.

Ques 12 GATE 2014 SET-3

B

0111110101

C

0111111101

D

0111111111


(b) is the correct answer.
