    Two computers whose IP addresses are 65.7.128.199 and 65.7.132.203 are on the same subnet. What is the most restrictive subnet mask for this subnet?

    a class A subnet mask.

    255.0.0.0

    But in the subnet, the first two octets are same, (65.7), will a class A mask be the most restrictive?

    (Ans given is: 255.255.248.0)

    You answer is the most restrictive.

    looking at the third octet:
    10000000-128
    10000100-132
    You can see that the first 5 digits are the same for both, therefore a subnet mask of 11111000=248 applied to the 3rd octet is the most restrictive while keeping them both in the same subnet.
