Is the question based upon a hypothetical file system, or one of the many file system types available.
The people who write file system software generally have two goals in mind, one to reduce the average number of physical reads per request, and two to maintain the integrity of the data.
Some systems read each index block sequentially, others use a binary search.
Unless the question is based upon a specific lecture, I think that there are as many (real world) answers as there are file system types.
