Two computers, X and Y are such that the processor in X has a word size of 32 bits while that of Y is 16bits. Which of the following statement is true?

The correct statement is: "X can process twice as much data as Y at the same time." The word size of a processor determines the maximum amount of data that it can handle at once. A processor with a larger word size can handle more data at once than a processor with a smaller word size. In this case, the word size of X is 32 bits, while the word size of Y is 16 bits. This means that X can handle 2^32 (or 4,294,967,296) unique combinations of bits at once, while Y can handle 2^16 (or 65,536) unique combinations of bits at once. Since X can handle more unique combinations of bits at once than Y, it can process more data at once. Specifically, X can handle twice as much data as Y at the same time.
