Explanation / Answer
IP Routing Principle steps:
Note - If there are more than one matches found then take the one having longest prefix match (Where the mask has more number of 1 bit)
a) 128.96.171.92
SubnetNumber
SubnetMask
Network address of 128.96.171.92 (Ipaddress & mask)
128.96.170.0
255.255.254.0 /23
128.96.168.0
255.255.254.0 /23
128.96.166.0
255.255.254.0 /23
128.96.171.92
128.96.160.0
255.255.240.0 /20
128.96.160.0
128.96.168.16
255.255.255.240 /28
128.96.171.80
128.96.166.0
255.255.255.192 /26
128.96.171.64
128.96.166.128
255.255.255.248 /29
128.96.171.88
128.96.166.64
255.255.255.192 /26
128.96.171.64
128.96.166.8
255.255.255.248 /29
128.96.171.88
0.0.0.0
Two matches found 128.96.170.0 and 128.96.160.0 and 0.0.0.0 But the longest prefix match is 128.96.170.0
so the next hop would be interface0
b)
128.96.167.151
SubnetNumber
SubnetMask
Network address of 128.96.167.151 (Ipaddress & mask)
128.96.170.0
255.255.254.0 /23
128.96.168.0
255.255.254.0 /23

128.96.167.144
128.96.166.64
255.255.255.192 /26
128.96.167.128
128.96.166.8
255.255.255.248 /29
128.96.167.144
0.0.0.0
Two matches found 128.96.166.0 and 128.96.160.0 and 0.0.0.0 But the longest prefix match is 128.96.166.0
so the next hop would be R5
c)
128.96.163.151
SubnetNumber
SubnetMask
Network address of 128.96.163.151 (Ipaddress & mask)
128.96.170.0

128.96.163.144
0.0.0.0
Two matches found 0.0.0.0 and 128.96.160.0 But the longest prefix match is 128.96.160.0
so the next hop would be R3
