  1. I think B is correct but not with that calculation, because:
    1. some articles descrive: You should consider pCPUs (including Cores) only. Hyper-threading does not actually double the available pCPU. Hyper-threading works by providing a second execution thread to a processor core

    2. 1,5:1 = 1,5 vCPU’s to 1 pCPI (2×8) x2 = 32
    1,5:1 so you need to do 32×1,5 = 48 (But this is no correct because hyperthreading does not multiply pCpu

    Correct Calculation
    2 sockets x 8 cores = 16 pCPU’s
    1,5 vCPU per 1 pCPU, so 16×1,5 = 24.

  2. 1,5:1 = 1,5 means 1,5 vCPU to 1 pCPU.
    2 sockets x 8 cores = 16 cores with HT enabled = 32 pCPU / 1.5 = 24

    should divided 1.5 and times 1.5

  3. I think answer D
    2 (sockets) x 8 (cores) = 16 x 2 (hyper threading) = 32 x 1,5 (over commit) = 48
