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 cylinder–wise and the addressing format is <cylinder no., surface no., sector no.>. A file of size 42797 KB is 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?
A. 1281
B. 1282
C. 1283
D. 1284
