#126616 - It's basic arithmetic!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Ap Charles said:
Datasheet says 8192x8 locations for SINGLE byte data each.

That's right - 8192 locations, each of which can hold 8 bits (1 byte)

So that's a total of (8192 locations) x (8 bits per location) = 65536 bits
65536 = 64 x 1024 = 64 x 210 = 64K
 8192 =  8 x 1024 =  8 x 210 =  8K
See http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=126585

it comes out to be 8192 byte memory or 8Kbyte.

Correct.

whereas we can store 1Byte each over an address range of 0-65536. That gives 65Kbyte.

Complete nonsense!
65536 (64K) is the total number of bits - not bytes.
You cannot directly address the individual bits.

Why this contradiction?

There is no contradiction!

can someone explain me what is right way of thinking to this regard.

See above!
