 How come, 2.25kb = 4096bytes, and
                   2.18kb = 4096bytes ?

That is correct.
2.25KB and 2.18KB is the actual size of the files (the nos. of bytes in
it).

But in the disk storage system, it takes a minimum block size to store
any file. Thus a FAT16 system would take 16 adjacent bytes (how come
2048?) whereas a FAT32 system would take 32 adjacent bytes (how come
4096?) to store any information.

Meaning that for storing 1 byte to 4096 bytes, it will use 4096 bytes.
For storing 4097 bytes to 8192 bytes, it would take two non-adjacent
4096 byte blocks.

The unused bytes have nul.
