A DMA controller uses the main memory buffer. It employs cycle stealing to deposit input data to this buffer. Suppose the external device uses a 9600 band transfer rate. Also, suppose the primary memory transfer rate is 100 million words/second with every 5th instruction cycle stolen. How long will it take to transfer 10K data from the external device to the buffer?

In the last step shouldn't it be (Y/X) and not (Y/X+Y) since its Cycle Stealing mode?
