Incorrect hint in O-level paper

Invigilators called the SEAB, but did not announce matter to the class. -myp

my paper

I RECENTLY sat for the O-level Computer Studies paper, which had this question: "If an image is 400KB, and the storage medium is 400GB, how many images can be stored? (400KB is 0.4GB)"

By doing simple calculation, I found out that the hint given was wrong.

My friend asked the invigilators about this, and they called the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). Then, they told my friend that SEAB said there was no error in the question. The examiners did not announce this matter to the class.

In this case, what would the examiners mark as the correct answer, as the incorrect hint would give rise to several answers?
