No of bits required to represent -6410 in 2’s complement form:
    Correct answer is '7.00'. Can you explain this answer?

    Sudhir Patel answered
    64 in binary form is represented as:
    6410 = (1000000)2
    Taking the 1's complement of the above, we get 0111111
    Adding 1 to the 1's complement, we get the 2's complement representation of the number, i.e. 1000000.
    Since there is a 1 in the LSB, the number is a negative number with value 64.
    ∴ The 2's complement of -6410 contains 7 bits.

    A 4 bit Digital to Analog converter (DAC) gives an output voltage of 5 V for an input code of 1111. What is the output voltage for an input code of 1100?
    • a)
      1 V
    • b)
      2 V
    • c)
      3 V
    • d)
      4 V
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    Concept:
    Resolution

    It is the minimum change at the DAC output.
    Resolution = Step size 

    Full-Scale Output
    It is the total voltage level given to the DAC or in simple terms, it is calculated as:
    FSO = Total steps × Step size
    FSO = (2− 1) × step size
    Calculation:
    Given output voltages are 5 V and input (1111)2
    Converting 1111 into decimal form we get
    (1111)2 = 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 1 × 21 + 1 × 20
    (1111)2 = 8 + 4 + 2 + 1
    (1111)2 = (15)10
    Resolution = 5/15
    Resolution = 1/3
    New input given is (1100)2
    Converting (1100)2 into decimal
    (1100)2 = 1 × 23 + 1 × 22 + 0 × 21 + 0 × 20
    (1100)2 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 0
    (1100)2 = (12)10
    Now the output will be

    Output = 4 V

    If (110)x = (132)4, then x =
    • a)
      8
    • b)
      5
    • c)
      4
    • d)
      9
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Question Analysis:
    We are given the equation (110)x = (132)4 and we need to find the value of x. The numbers in brackets are in different bases. We need to convert both numbers to the same base and then solve for x.

    Solution:

    Step 1: Convert the numbers in brackets to the decimal system.
    To convert (132)4 to decimal, we use the formula:
    (132)4 = 1*(4^2) + 3*(4^1) + 2*(4^0) = 16 + 12 + 2 = 30.

    Step 2: Rewrite the equation in decimal form.
    (110)x = 30.

    Step 3: Solve for x.
    To solve for x, we need to find the value of x that satisfies the equation (110)x = 30.

    Step 4: Convert the number (110) to decimal.
    (110) = 1*(10^2) + 1*(10^1) + 0*(10^0) = 100 + 10 + 0 = 110.

    Step 5: Rewrite the equation in decimal form.
    110^x = 30.

    Step 6: Take the logarithm of both sides.
    log(110^x) = log(30).

    Step 7: Apply the logarithm rule.
    x * log(110) = log(30).

    Step 8: Solve for x.
    x = log(30) / log(110).

    Calculating the value of x:
    Using a calculator or software, we can calculate the value of x as approximately 4.85.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' which represents 5 (rounded to the nearest whole number).

    A 4-bit D/A converter gives an output voltage of 4.5 V for an input code of 1001. The output voltage for an input code of 0110 is
    • a)
      1.5 V
    • b)
      2.0 V
    • c)
      3.0 V
    • d)
      4.5 V
    Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

    Siddharth Shah answered
    Explanation:

    A 4-bit D/A converter is capable of producing 2^4=16 different output levels. The output voltage corresponding to each input code is given by:

    Vout = (Vref/2^n) x D

    where Vref is the reference voltage, n is the number of bits, and D is the decimal equivalent of the binary input code.

    Given that the output voltage for an input code of 1001 is 4.5 V, we can find the reference voltage as follows:

    4.5 = (Vref/2^4) x 9

    Vref = 4.5 x 16/9 = 8 V

    Using this reference voltage, we can find the output voltage for an input code of 0110 as follows:

    Vout = (8/2^4) x 6 = 3 V

    Therefore, the correct answer is option C, 3.0 V.

    Manasa Tiwari answered
    Explanation:

    The Gray code is a binary numeral system where two consecutive values differ in only one bit position. It is often used in digital communication systems and for encoding analog signals. The Gray code is designed in such a way that only one bit changes at a time, which reduces the chance of errors in communication.

    To find the Gray code corresponding to a given binary code, we can use the following steps:

    Step 1: Write down the given binary code.

    The given binary code is 0011.

    Step 2: Start with the most significant bit (MSB) and compare it with the next bit.

    In this case, the MSB is 0 and the next bit is 0. Since they are the same, the corresponding Gray code bit will also be 0.

    Step 3: Move to the next bit and compare it with the previous bit.

    In this case, the next bit is 0 and the previous bit is 0. Since they are the same, the corresponding Gray code bit will also be 0.

    Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining bits.

    In this case, the next bit is 1 and the previous bit is 0. Since they are different, the corresponding Gray code bit will be 1.

    Step 5: Write down the Gray code corresponding to the binary code.

    Based on the comparison in steps 2-4, the Gray code corresponding to the binary code 0011 is 0010.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option D: 0010.

    2. Write down the remainder (0 or 1).
    3. Divide the quotient again by 2 and write down the remainder.
    4. Repeat step 3 until the quotient becomes 0.

    Conversion of Fractional Part
    To convert the fractional part of a decimal number to binary, we use the following steps:
    1. Multiply the fractional part by 2.

    BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal) is a coding scheme that represents decimal numbers using a combination of four binary digits. Each decimal digit from 0 to 9 is represented by a unique 4-bit binary code. To find the BCD equivalent of a decimal number, we convert each decimal digit to its corresponding 4-bit binary code.

    Given that the decimal number is (345)10, we can convert each digit individually to its BCD equivalent.

    Conversion of 3:
    The decimal digit 3 is represented in BCD as 0011.

    Conversion of 4:
    The decimal digit 4 is represented in BCD as 0100.

    Conversion of 5:
    The decimal digit 5 is represented in BCD as 0101.

    Therefore, the BCD equivalent of the decimal number (345)10 is 0011 0100 0101.

    The correct answer is option 'C' (0011 0100 0101).

    Let's summarize the steps involved in finding the BCD equivalent of the decimal number (345)10:

    1. Convert each decimal digit individually to its BCD equivalent:
    - 3 is represented as 0011.
    - 4 is represented as 0100.
    - 5 is represented as 0101.

    2. Combine the BCD representations of each digit to form the BCD equivalent of the decimal number:
    - Concatenate the BCD codes obtained in step 1 from left to right.
    - The BCD equivalent of (345)10 is 0011 0100 0101.

    In this case, option 'C' (0011 0100 0101) is the correct BCD equivalent of the decimal number (345)10.

    Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) representation:

    Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) is a binary representation of decimal numbers in which each decimal digit is represented by a four-bit binary code. The BCD representation allows easy conversion between binary and decimal numbers.

    Given number:
    Decimal: 29
    BCD: 00101001

    To determine the binary representation of a BCD number, we need to convert each decimal digit into its four-bit binary code.

    Conversion:
    Decimal: 2 9
    BCD: 0010 1001

    Explanation:
    Let's examine each option to determine the correct binary representation of the given BCD number.

    a) 0101011
    This option represents the binary number 0101011, which is the correct representation of decimal 43, not decimal 29. Therefore, option a) is incorrect.

    b) 0011101 (Correct answer)
    This option represents the binary number 0011101, which is the correct representation of decimal 29. Therefore, option b) is correct.

    c) 0110101
    This option represents the binary number 0110101, which is the representation of decimal 53, not decimal 29. Therefore, option c) is incorrect.

    d) 1101001
    This option represents the binary number 1101001, which is the representation of decimal 105, not decimal 29. Therefore, option d) is incorrect.

    Therefore, the correct binary representation of the BCD number 00101001 (decimal 29) is option b) 0011101.

    Divide the binary numbers: 111101 ÷ 1001 and find the remainder.
    • a)
      0010
    • b)
      1010
    • c)
      1100
    • d)
      0111
    Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

    The binary number 111101 is equivalent to the decimal number 61.

    Since it is not specified how the division should be done, I will assume that you want to divide it by 2.

    When you divide 61 by 2, the quotient is 30 and the remainder is 1.

    Therefore, 111101 divided by 2 is equal to 11110 with a remainder of 1.

    Solution:

    Given that a binary-to-BCD encoder has four inputs D0 C0, B0, and A0 and five outputs D, C, B, A, and VALID.

    The VALID output is 1 if the input combination is a valid decimal code. If the input combination is an invalid decimal code, the VALID output becomes 0, and all of the D, C, B, and A outputs show 0 values.

    We need to design a circuit using NOT gates, 2-input OR and AND gates to implement the above functionality.

    Minimum number of gates required to implement the above circuit is 8.

    Explanation:

    The binary-to-BCD encoder can be implemented using the following steps:

    Step 1: Implement the conditions for VALID output to be 1.

    VALID output is 1 if the input combination is a valid decimal code. This condition can be implemented using the following Boolean expression:

    VALID = D0'C0'B0'A0 + D0'C0'B0'A0' + D0'C0'B0A0' + D0'C0B0'A0' + D0C0'B0'A0' + D0C0B0'A0' + D0C0B0A0

    This can be implemented using 7 gates as shown below:

    ![image.png](attachment:image.png)

    Step 2: Implement the BCD output.

    The BCD output can be implemented using the following Boolean expressions:

    A = D0'C0B0'A0' + D0C0B0A0' + D0C0B0'A0 + D0'C0'B0A0' + D0'C0B0A0 + D0C0'B0'A0'

    B = D0'C0B0'A0' + D0C0B0A0' + D0C0B0'A0 + D0C0'B0A0' + D0'C0B0A0 + D0'C0'B0'A0'

    C = D0'C0B0'A0' + D0C0B0A0' + D0C0B0'A0' + D0'C0'B0A0' + D0'C0B0A0' + D0C0'B0A0

    D = D0'C0B0'A0' + D0C0B0A0' + D0C0B0'A0' + D0'C0'B0A0' + D0'C0B0A0' + D0C0'B0'A0'

    This can be implemented using 8 gates as shown below:

    ![image-2.png](attachment:image-2.png)

    Therefore, the minimum number of gates required to implement the above circuit is 8.

    Decimal to Binary Conversion
    To understand the decimal equivalent of the given binary number (1101)2, we need to convert it into decimal form. The binary number system uses only two digits, 0 and 1, while the decimal number system uses ten digits, 0 to 9.

    Binary to decimal conversion involves multiplying each binary digit by powers of 2 and then adding up the results. Starting from the rightmost digit, the powers of 2 increase from right to left, with the rightmost digit having a power of 2^0, the second rightmost digit having a power of 2^1, the third rightmost digit having a power of 2^2, and so on.

    Conversion Steps
    To convert the binary number (1101)2 to decimal, follow these steps:

    1. Start from the rightmost digit of the binary number.
    2. Multiply each binary digit by the corresponding power of 2.
    3. Add up the results obtained in step 2 to get the decimal equivalent.

    Calculation Process
    Let's calculate the decimal equivalent of the binary number (1101)2 using the conversion steps described above:

    (1 * 2^3) + (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0)
    = (1 * 8) + (1 * 4) + (0 * 2) + (1 * 1)
    = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1
    = 13

    Therefore, the decimal equivalent of the binary number (1101)2 is 13.

    Conclusion
    The correct answer is option 'C' - 13. By following the conversion steps for binary to decimal conversion, we determined that the decimal equivalent of the binary number (1101)2 is 13.

    Hexadecimal Number System:
    • It has a base of 16. Hence, it uses sixteen distinct counting digits 0 through 9 and A through F
    • Place value (or weight) for each digit is in ascending powers of 16 for integers and descending powers of 16 for fractions.
    • The chief use of this system is in connection with byte-organized machines.
    • It is used for specifying addresses of different binary numbers stored in computer memory.
    Complement of a Number: In digital work, two types of complements of a binary number are used for complemental sub-traction:
    1’s complement:
    • The 1’s complement of a binary number is obtained by changing each 0 into a 1 and each 1 into a 0.
    • It is also called radix-minus-one complement.
    • For example, 1’s complement of 1002 is 0112, and 0112 is 00012.
    2’s complement:
    • The 2’s complement of a binary number is obtained by adding 1 to its 1’s complement.
    • 2’s complement = 1’s complement + 1
    • It is also known as a true complement.
     
    Octal Number System:
    • It has a base of 8 which means that it has eight distinct counting digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
    • These digits 0 through 7, have precisely the same physical meaning as in the decimal system.
    • For counting beyond 7, 2-digit combinations are formed taking the second digit followed by the first, then the second followed by the second, and so on.
    • Hence, after 7, the next octal number is 10 (second digit followed by first), then 11 (second digit followed by second), and so on.
    Excess-3 Code:
    • It is an unweighted code and is a modified form of BCD.
    • It is widely used to represent numerical data in digital equipment.
    • It is abbreviated as XS-3. As its name implies, each coded number in XS-3 is three larger than in the BCD code.

    Binary-coded Decimal (BCD)

    BCD is a binary representation of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a four-bit binary code. It is commonly used in systems where decimal arithmetic is required, such as calculators, digital displays, and electronic circuits.

    Representation of Decimal Number 81 in BCD

    To represent the decimal number 81 in BCD, we need to convert each decimal digit into its equivalent four-bit binary code.

    - Digit 8: The binary representation of 8 is 1000.
    - Digit 1: The binary representation of 1 is 0001.

    Therefore, the BCD representation of 81 is obtained by concatenating the binary codes for each digit:

    BCD(81) = 1000 0001

    Explanation of the options

    a) 10000001: This option is the correct representation of 81 in BCD, as explained above.

    b) 10100010: This option represents a different decimal number. The binary equivalent of 10 is 1010, and the binary equivalent of 2 is 0010. The concatenation of these binary codes does not result in the BCD representation of 81.

    c) 01010001: This option also represents a different decimal number. The binary equivalent of 5 is 0101, and the binary equivalent of 1 is 0001. The concatenation of these binary codes does not result in the BCD representation of 81.

    d) 00011000: This option represents a different decimal number. The binary equivalent of 1 is 0001, and the binary equivalent of 8 is 1000. The concatenation of these binary codes does not result in the BCD representation of 81.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' (10000001), which represents the decimal number 81 in BCD.

    Aashna Pillai answered
    Explanation:

    To multiply the binary numbers (10.10) and (01.01), we can use the method of binary multiplication similar to decimal multiplication.

    Step 1: Write the numbers vertically and align the decimal points.
    ```
    10.10
    x 01.01
    ```

    Step 2: Multiply the rightmost digits of the second number by the first number.
    ```
    10.10
    x 01.01
    ------------
    10.10 (Multiply 1st digit of 2nd number by 10.10)
    ```

    Step 3: Multiply the second rightmost digits of the second number by the first number, but shifted one place to the left.
    ```
    10.10
    x 01.01
    ------------
    10.10 (Multiply 1st digit of 2nd number by 10.10)
    + 10.10 (Multiply 2nd digit of 2nd number by 10.10, shifted 1 place left)
    ------------
    110.10
    ```

    Step 4: Add the partial products.
    ```
    10.10
    x 01.01
    ------------
    10.10 (Multiply 1st digit of 2nd number by 10.10)
    + 10.10 (Multiply 2nd digit of 2nd number by 10.10, shifted 1 place left)
    ------------
    110.10 (Add the partial products)
    ```

    Step 5: Adjust the decimal point of the result by counting the total number of digits after the decimal point in both numbers.
    In this case, there are 2 digits after the decimal point in each number, so we need to shift the decimal point 4 places to the left in the result.
    ```
    10.10
    x 01.01
    ------------
    110.10 (Add the partial products)
    ```
    After shifting the decimal point 4 places to the left, we get the final result as 0.11010.

    Conversion to Decimal:
    To convert the binary result to decimal, we multiply each digit by the corresponding power of 2 and sum them up.
    ```
    0.11010 = (0 * 2^-1) + (1 * 2^-2) + (1 * 2^-3) + (0 * 2^-4) + (1 * 2^-5)
    = 0 + 0.25 + 0.125 + 0 + 0.03125
    = 0.40625
    ```

    Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 0.0110010 in binary or 0.40625 in decimal.

    In CRC if the data unit is 100111001 and the divisor is 1011 then what is dividend at the receiver?

    • d)
      100111001110
    Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

    Dividend Calculation in CRC

    To calculate the dividend in CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check), we need to perform a division operation between the data unit and the divisor. The dividend is the result of this division.

    Given:
    Data unit: 100111001
    Divisor: 1011

    To calculate the dividend, we follow the steps of long division.

    Step 1: Append Zeros
    We need to append zeros to the data unit to make its length equal to the divisor. In this case, the divisor has a length of 4, so we add 3 zeros to the data unit.

    Data unit (after appending zeros): 100111001000

    Step 2: Divide
    Perform the division operation by performing bit-by-bit XOR operations.

    - Start with the first 4 bits of the dividend (1 0 0 1) and perform XOR operation with the divisor (1 0 1 1).
    - The result of the XOR operation is 0 0 1 0.
    - Bring down the next bit from the dividend (0) and append it to the result of the XOR operation, resulting in 0 0 1 00.
    - Perform XOR operation again with the divisor (1 0 1 1), resulting in 1 0 0 1.
    - Bring down the next bit from the dividend (1) and append it to the result of the XOR operation, resulting in 1 0 0 11.
    - Perform XOR operation again with the divisor (1 0 1 1), resulting in 0 0 0 11.
    - Bring down the next bit from the dividend (0) and append it to the result of the XOR operation, resulting in 0 0 0 110.
    - Perform XOR operation again with the divisor (1 0 1 1), resulting in 1 1 0 10.
    - Bring down the next bit from the dividend (0) and append it to the result of the XOR operation, resulting in 1 1 0 100.

    Step 3: Remainder
    After performing the division, the remainder is obtained by the last XOR operation. In this case, the remainder is 1 1 0.

    Step 4: Dividend at the Receiver
    The dividend at the receiver is obtained by concatenating the original data unit and the remainder.

    Dividend at the receiver: 100111001011

    Therefore, the correct option is B) 100111001011.

    Imtiaz Ahmad answered
    A floating-point (FP) number is said to be normalized, if the most significant bit of the mantissa is 1.
    • If the exponent is all zeros, the floating point number is denormalized and the most significant bit of the mantissa is known to be zero.
    • The floating number representation has four parts:1. The first part represents a single fixed point number is called the mantissa.
    • The second part designates the position of the decimal point and is called the exponent.
    • The mantissa always a positive number holds the significant digits of the floating point number.
    • The exponent indicates the positive or negative power of the radix that the mantissa and sign should be multiplied by.

    Juhi Basu answered
    Answer:

    To convert a decimal number to binary, we need to divide the decimal number by 2 repeatedly and keep track of the remainders. The binary code is then obtained by reversing the sequence of remainders.

    Let's convert the decimal number 21.125 to binary:

    1. Integer part:
    - Divide 21 by 2: Quotient = 10, Remainder = 1
    - Divide 10 by 2: Quotient = 5, Remainder = 0
    - Divide 5 by 2: Quotient = 2, Remainder = 1
    - Divide 2 by 2: Quotient = 1, Remainder = 0
    - Divide 1 by 2: Quotient = 0, Remainder = 1

    The binary representation of the integer part is obtained by reversing the sequence of remainders: 10101.

    2. Decimal part:
    - Multiply 0.125 (the decimal part) by 2: Product = 0.25, Integer part = 0, Remainder = 0
    - Multiply 0.25 by 2: Product = 0.5, Integer part = 0, Remainder = 0
    - Multiply 0.5 by 2: Product = 1.0, Integer part = 1, Remainder = 1

    The binary representation of the decimal part is obtained by taking the sequence of remainders: 001.

    Therefore, the binary representation of the decimal number 21.125 is 10101.001.

    Hence, option 'A' (10101.001) is the correct answer.

    Concept:
    1’s complement representation of a binary number is obtained by toggling all the bits, i.e. replacing 1 with 0, and 0 with 1.
    2’s complement representation of a binary number is obtained by adding 1 to the 1’s complement representation.
    Application:
    Given the binary number is 1101101
    Taking the 1's complement of the above, we replace all the 1's with 0's and all the 0's with 1's to get:
    1's complement of 1101101 = 0010010
    Adding 1 to the 1's complement, we get the 2's complement as:
    0010010 + 1 = 0010011

    There are several possible interpretations for the phrase "the 2," as it is quite vague. Here are a few possibilities:

    1. The number 2: This could refer to the numeral 2, which is the second counting number in the decimal system.

    2. The second person: In certain contexts, "the 2" could refer to the second person, either in a conversation or in a group of people. For example, if someone says "I'll talk to the 1, and you talk to the 2," they would be referring to the second person involved.

    3. The second option: In some situations, "the 2" could refer to the second choice or option among a set of possibilities. For instance, if someone asks "Which one do you prefer, the 1 or the 2?" they would be referring to the second option.

    Without more context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning of the phrase "the 2."

    Tanvi Ahuja answered
    To find the range of the exponent E in IEEE 754 Double Precision (Binary64) format, we need to consider the bias and the number of bits used to represent the exponent.

    In IEEE 754 Double Precision format, the exponent E is represented using 11 bits. The bias for the exponent is 1023.

    The range of the exponent E can be calculated as follows:

    Minimum exponent = 1 - bias = 1 - 1023 = -1022
    Maximum exponent = (2^11) - 1 - bias = 2047 - 1023 = 1024

    Therefore, the range of the exponent E in IEEE 754 Double Precision format is -1022 to 1024.

    The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers created the IEEE Standard for Floating-Point Arithmetic (IEEE 754) in 1985 as a technical standard for floating-point calculation (IEEE). The standard addressed several issues encountered in various floating-point implementations.
    IEEE 754 has 3 basic components are Sign, exponent, and  Mantissa.
    Given that,
    Exponent field =10 bits
    Mantissa field = 21 bits 
    Sign= 1 bit (represents the positive number or negative number)
    Bias=Excess=2n-1 where n is the number of bits in the Exponent.
    To get Number = (-1)S x (1.M) x BE-Bias
    Fewer mantissa bits mean less precision. The smallest change that can be represented in floating-point representation is called precision. In single precision, the mantissa is having 23 bits, and double-precision the mantissa is having 52 bits are required. Hence the less precision as there will be fewer Mantissa bits.
    Hence the correct answer is It will provide less precision as there will be fewer Mantissa bits.

    Octal to Decimal Conversion:
    • Step 1: Since an octal number only uses digits from 0 to 7, we first arrange the octal number with the power of 8.
    • Step 2: We evaluate all the power of 8 values such as 80 is 1, 81 is 8, etc., and write down the value of each octal number.
    • Step 3: Final step is to add the product of all the numbers to obtain the decimal number.
     
    Application:
    Step 1: Write 23 with the power of 8. Start from the right-hand side.
    2 × 81 + 3 × 80
    Step 2: Evaluate the power of 8 values for each octal number.

    Conversion Steps:
    To convert a binary number to its decimal equivalent, we need to follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Identify the integer and fractional parts of the binary number.
    In the given binary number (101.101)2, the integer part is 101 and the fractional part is 101.

    Step 2: Convert the integer part to decimal.
    To convert the integer part from binary to decimal, we use the positional notation. Starting from the rightmost digit, we assign powers of 2 to each digit, with the rightmost digit having a power of 2^0, the next digit having a power of 2^1, and so on.

    In this case, the integer part is 101. The rightmost digit is 1, which corresponds to 2^0. The next digit is 0, which corresponds to 2^1. The leftmost digit is 1, which corresponds to 2^2.

    Calculating the decimal value of the integer part:
    (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (1 * 2^0) = 4 + 0 + 1 = 5

    So, the decimal equivalent of the integer part 101 is 5.

    Step 3: Convert the fractional part to decimal.
    To convert the fractional part from binary to decimal, we use the positional notation. Starting from the leftmost digit after the decimal point, we assign negative powers of 2 to each digit, with the first digit having a power of 2^-1, the next digit having a power of 2^-2, and so on.

    In this case, the fractional part is 101. The leftmost digit after the decimal point is 1, which corresponds to 2^-1. The next digit is 0, which corresponds to 2^-2. The rightmost digit is 1, which corresponds to 2^-3.

    Calculating the decimal value of the fractional part:
    (1 * 2^-1) + (0 * 2^-2) + (1 * 2^-3) = 0.5 + 0 + 0.125 = 0.625

    So, the decimal equivalent of the fractional part 101 is 0.625.

    Step 4: Combine the decimal values of the integer and fractional parts.
    The decimal equivalent of the binary number (101.101)2 is the sum of the decimal values of the integer and fractional parts.
    Decimal equivalent = 5 + 0.625 = 5.625

    Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 5.62510.

    - 7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1
    - 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1
    - 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1
    - Binary equivalent = 1111111 (correct)

    Option C: 1111011
    - 127 ÷ 2 = 63 remainder 1
    - 63 ÷ 2 = 31 remainder 1
    - 31 ÷ 2 = 15 remainder 1
    - 15 ÷ 2 = 7 remainder 1
    - 7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1
    - 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1
    - 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1
    - Binary equivalent = 1111111 (incorrect)

    Option D: 111111
    - 127 ÷ 2 = 63 remainder 1
    - 63 ÷ 2 = 31 remainder 1
    - 31 ÷ 2 = 15 remainder 1
    - 15 ÷ 2 = 7 remainder 1
    - 7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1
    - 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1
    - Binary equivalent = 1111111 (incorrect)

    Therefore, the correct answer is option B (1111111).

    Ananya Nair answered

    Explanation:

    1. Convert X and Y to decimal:
    X = 00110 -> -2 (in decimal)
    Y = 10011 -> -13 (in decimal)

    2. Add X and Y:
    -2 + (-13) = -15

    3. Convert the result back to binary:
    -15 in binary is 10001

    4. Represent 10001 in 5 bits 2s complement:
    Since the result is negative, we need to represent it in 2s complement form.
    10001 in 5 bits 2s complement is 10001

    Therefore, the sum of X and Y represented in 2s complement format using 5 bits is 10001, which is equivalent to -15 in decimal.

    Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - 11001.

    Performing binary addition:
    To perform binary addition, we follow a set of rules similar to decimal addition. The rules are as follows:

    - 0 + 0 = 0
    - 0 + 1 = 1
    - 1 + 0 = 1
    - 1 + 1 = 10 (carry 1 and write 0)

    Given binary numbers: 101101 and 011011

    Let's perform the addition step by step:

    Step 1: Start from the rightmost bit and add the corresponding bits.
    1
    0 1 1 0 1 0 1 (101101)
    + 0 1 1 0 1 1 (011011)
    ----------------
    1 0 0 1 0 0 0 (1001000)

    Step 2: Carry over any 1s to the next column (if applicable).
    1
    0 1 1 0 1 0 1 (101101)
    + 0 1 1 0 1 1 (011011)
    ----------------
    1 0 0 1 0 0 0 (1001000)

    Since there are no more columns to add, we have our final result:

    101101 + 011011 = 1001000

    Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' (1001000).

    In binary addition, each bit represents a power of 2, where the rightmost bit is 2^0, the second rightmost bit is 2^1, the third rightmost bit is 2^2, and so on. By adding the corresponding bits, we calculate the sum of each power of 2. If there is a carry (1), it is added to the next column.

    In this case, we have a carry in the fourth column, so we carry over the 1 to the next column. The final result is obtained by combining all the bits together, from left to right.

    Conversion of (98.75)10 into binary, octal and hexadecimal number system, respectively, is:

    Step 1: Convert the integer part of the decimal number into the desired number system.

    To convert the integer part of the decimal number into binary, octal and hexadecimal, we perform successive division by 2, 8 and 16 respectively until the quotient becomes zero. We write down the remainders in reverse order to get the binary, octal and hexadecimal equivalent of the integer part.

    - Binary: 98 ÷ 2 = 49 remainder 0, 49 ÷ 2 = 24 remainder 1, 24 ÷ 2 = 12 remainder 0, 12 ÷ 2 = 6 remainder 0, 6 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 0, 3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1, 1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1. Therefore, (98)10 = (1100010)2.
    - Octal: 98 ÷ 8 = 12 remainder 2, 12 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 4, 1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 1. Therefore, (98)10 = (142)8.
    - Hexadecimal: 98 ÷ 16 = 6 remainder 2, 6 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 6. Therefore, (98)10 = (62)16.

    Step 2: Convert the fractional part of the decimal number into the desired number system.

    To convert the fractional part of the decimal number into binary, octal and hexadecimal, we perform successive multiplication by 2, 8 and 16 respectively until the fractional part becomes zero or until we get the desired precision. We write down the integer part of each multiplication as the corresponding digit of the binary, octal or hexadecimal equivalent.

    - Binary: 0.75 × 2 = 1.5 → 1, 0.5 × 2 = 1.0 → 1. Therefore, (0.75)10 = (0.11)2.
    - Octal: 0.75 × 8 = 6.0 → 6. Therefore, (0.75)10 = (0.6)8.
    - Hexadecimal: 0.75 × 16 = 12.0 → C. Therefore, (0.75)10 = (0.C)16.

    Step 3: Combine the integer and fractional parts to get the final result.

    - Binary: (98.75)10 = (1100010.11)2.
    - Octal: (98.75)10 = (142.6)8.
    - Hexadecimal: (98.75)10 = (62.C)16.

    Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

    Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

    Devansh Chavan answered
    Explanation:


    To find the smallest 4-bit negative number stored in its 2s complement representation, we need to understand how 2s complement works. In 2s complement, the most significant bit (MSB) represents the sign of the number, where 0 is positive and 1 is negative. The rest of the bits represent the magnitude of the number.

    To convert a number to its 2s complement representation, we follow these steps:
    1. Invert all the bits (change 0 to 1 and 1 to 0).
    2. Add 1 to the result of step 1.

    Now, let's find the smallest 4-bit negative number stored in its 2s complement representation.

    Step 1: Invert all the bits of 0000 (smallest 4-bit positive number).
    0000 -> 1111

    Step 2: Add 1 to the result of step 1.
    1111 + 1 = 10000 (5-bit number)

    Since we are limited to 4 bits, we discard the MSB and get the 4-bit 2s complement representation of -8, which is 0000. But this is not the answer since we are looking for the smallest negative number.

    To get the smallest negative number, we need to increment the result of step 1 by 1 before discarding the MSB.

    Step 1: Invert all the bits of 0000 (smallest 4-bit positive number).
    0000 -> 1111

    Step 2: Add 1 to the result of step 1.
    1111 + 1 = 10000 (5-bit number)

    Step 3: Increment the result of step 2 by 1.
    10000 + 1 = 10001 (5-bit number)

    Discard the MSB and we get the smallest 4-bit negative number stored in its 2s complement representation, which is 1000 (equals to -8 in decimal).

    Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
