A company has been allocated the Class B network \(172.16.0.0\). They need to create subnets for three departments—Sales, Development and HR—each requiring at least \(200\) hosts. Subnets must use contiguous block sizes (a power of two). The network uses a hierarchical design where each department's subnet connects to a central router, and the router has a maximum of six interfaces (including the backbone). Determine the subnet mask that should be assigned to each department and calculate how many host addresses remain unused in the original Class B address space after allocating the three subnets.
