Their can be problems cause by this kind of setup but it all depends on whether this is a test setup at home or a real scenario at work in a large network. From a strategic point of view I would always advise against more than a class c in one broadcast domain, this means that you should either put them on different switches bounded by a router or use a single switch with multiple vlans and again bound them with a router. > Q4. If instead of switch, we use hub, will it make any difference? Switches are higher performance devices which can be managed and controlled so I would have to ask again whether you are doing this at home or in a large scenario at work.
