That means 2 GB is being used by iOS and pre-installed Apps in 16 GB capacity
BUT why 4 GB is being used in 32 GB iPad? Aren't the same iOS and Apps be there in 32Gb capacity? Didn't understand the concept.

Pls explain why it took 4 GB in 32 GB capacity?

iOS should take about the same amount of storage on both, the difference is partly due to how a 'gigabyte' is defined e.g. on packaging it's 1 billion bytes, but on the device itself it uses the binary definition (2 to the power 30), and some storage may also be 'lost' by formatting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
