192.168.1.96/28 and 192.168.1.64 / 27

Explanation:

In computer networking, subnetting is a way of sharing up a network into several more networks. It's importance includes improving routing effectiveness, enhancing security on the network and better managment control. subnetting is acheived by slicing IP address, in the case given in the question, Subnet 192.168.1.64 / 27 with 5 bits allocated for the host and will only be able to hold 32 addresses, Subnet 192.168.1.96/28 on the other hand has 4 bits for the host addresses and as such will be able to hold 16 addresses.
