A. B. C. D.

C.

A 42U rack has a height of 42 units, with each unit being 1.75 inches in height. Therefore, the total height of the rack is 42 x 1.75 = 73.5 inches.

To calculate the number of 7-inch high servers that can fit in the rack, we need to divide the total height of the rack by the height of each server.

Number of servers = (Total height of rack / Height of each server)

Number of servers = (73.5 inches / 7 inches)

Number of servers = 10.5

Since we cannot install a fraction of a server, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the number of 7-inch high servers that can be installed in a 42U rack is 10.

So, the correct answer is option C - 10.
