Explanation / Answer

The entire plasmid size is 4985 nt.

Digesting the plasmid with pst1 and EcoRV will yield 2 DNA fragments.

EcoRV cuts at 4132 nt and pst1 at 1934, so

4132 - (no. of sequence before pst1 site) 1933 nt = 2199

4985 nt - 4132 EcoRV site= 853

2199 + 853 = 3052

Size of one DNA fragment is 3052 nt.

4985 nt - 3052 nt = 1933 nt.

The size of the other DNA fragment is 1933 nt.
