A hard disk with a transfer rate of 10 M bytes/<br>second is constantly transferring data to memory<br>using DMA. The processor runs at 600 MHz, and<br>takes 300 and 900 clock cycles to initiate and<br>complete DMA transfer respectively. If the size<br>of the transfer is 20 Kbytes, what is the<br>percentage of processor time consumed for the<br>transfer operation?<br>
