d. which file is larger (in bytes), myinfo_lastname.docx or myinfo_lastname.txt? why?

e. which file is larger (in bytes), myinfo_lastname.pdf or myinfopdf_lastname.zip? why?

Explanation:

Sub - question d

MyInfo_Lastname.docx is larger. DOCX files are binary and store formatting, images, etc., while TXT is plain text with no extra formatting data.

MyInfoPdf_Lastname.zip is larger if the PDF is compressed in it, but usually, a PDF (MyInfo_Lastname.pdf) is larger than its zipped version (MyInfoPdf_Lastname.zip) as ZIP compresses the PDF. Wait, no—if the ZIP contains the PDF, the ZIP (compressed) is smaller than the original PDF. Wait, the question is which is larger: the PDF or the ZIP of the PDF. The PDF (MyInfo_Lastname.pdf) is larger because the ZIP (MyInfoPdf_Lastname.zip) compresses the PDF, reducing its size.

Answer:

MyInfo_Lastname.docx is larger. Because.docx (a Word document) contains formatting, metadata, and can embed objects, while.txt is plain text with minimal data.
