You can borrow 6 bits. Which would create a 255.255.255.252 subnet mask, but this subnet only contains 2 usable IP addresses.

7 bits would be 255.255.255.254, but that subnet is too small to have any use in the real world.

If you have been assigned network ID 172.16.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 What is the maximum number of workstations you can have on the subnet?

Since this is a class B network you have borrowed 8 bits for subnets. This leaves 8 bits left (1 octet) for clients/workstations. That gives you a maximum of 254 clients per subnet.

What is the maximum number of bits that can be borrowed with class b?

The maximum number of host bits that can be borrowed from a class A address is 22 (technically you could borrow 23 but the resulting network would be useless). A class A address uses 8 bits for its network address and 24 bits for its host addresses. Class A uses a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0 You can only borrow 22 bits (instead of 24) because a valid network requires 4 addresses: A network address, two host addresses and a broadcast address. These networks would result in 30 bits used for the network address and 2 bits used for the host addresses. These networks use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252
