A 1kb file to put inside a 4kb file of a disk would waste valuable space. Because you are technically just placing four more files inside the disk. It is very limited and can be waste of consumption inside the disk. 

Answer:

3/4 of the storage capacity are wasted.

the wastage for a real file system will be lower

Step-by-step explanation:

If the file size is 1 kb and the file system uses 4-kb disk blocks, then 4 - 1 = 3 kb are being wasted. That represents 3/4 of the storage capacity.

I think the wastage for a real file system will be lower because every file system has disk blocks with different capacities and they are used considering the file size, using the storage capacity efficiently.
