How many bytes are allocated when a variable is declared in union?

The total number of bytes allocated to the union will be the same number as would have been allocated if instead of the union was declared the largest member of the union. For example, if you declared: union myUnion { char c; int i; double d; } u;, then the space allocated to u will be the size of a double.


Integers need how many bits to stored in C plus plus?

It depends on the type of integer (such as long, short, int and char) and the specific implementation of C++. The only guarantee is that a char must occupy one byte (sizeof(char)==1). An int is typically 32-bits (4 bytes), but only sizeof(int) can tell you for sure.
