f there are 32 segments, each of size 1 kilobyte (1KB), then the logical address should have 15 bits. To specify a particular segment, 5 bits are required (since 2^5 = 32). Having selected a page, to select a particular byte, 10 more bits are needed (since 2^10 = 1KB). Therefore, 15 bits in total are needed to address the segments and bytes within them123.

In summary, the logical address for this scenario should consist of 15 bits. 🤓
