(a) How many disk blocks are required in total? (b) What is the total wasted space (unused bytes within allocated blocks)? (c) If the average seek time is 8 ms, rotational latency is 4.2 ms, and transfer time per block is 0.5 ms, compute the total time to read all files sequentially (assume one seek and one rotational latency per file, no caching).
