In a 2-way set associative cache with 16 lines, how many sets are there?

In a 2-way set associative cache with 16 lines, each set consists of 2 lines.

The formula to determine the number of sets is:

Number of Sets=Total Number of Cache Lines/Associativity

Number of Sets=16/2=8

So, in a 2-way set associative cache with 16 lines, there are 8 sets.
