*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 1

The
16  -bit
2` s complement representation of an integer is
1111  1111 1111    0101 ; its decimal representation is ______________.


Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 1

for 2's complement  1 111 1111 1111 0101 →2′scomplement→2′scomplement  1 000 0000 0000 1011
1st bit is same not involved in 2's complement same with 1's complement. since msb bit for sign.
Take one's complement and add 1 we get 11, and as it is negative number we get answer as -11


*Answer can only contain numeric values

*Answer can only contain numeric values
Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 5

Convert the following numbers in the given bases into their equivalents in the desired bases:
(110.101)2 = (x)10


Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 5

a. 1 * 22 + 1 * 21 + 0 * 20 + 1 * 2-1 + 0 * 2-2 + 1 * 2-3 = 6.625

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 6

The number of 1's in the binary representation of (3*4096 + 15*256 + 5*16 + 3) are:

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 6

I suggest following approach , here we can clearly see that numbers are getting multiplied by powers of 16. So this is nothing but Hexadecimal number in disguise.




Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 7

Consider the following floating-point number representation.

The exponent is in 2’s complement representation and mantissa is in the sign magnitude representation. The range of the magnitude of the normalized numbers in this representation is

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 7

Here, we are asked "magnitude" - so we just need to consider the mantissa bits.
Also, we are told "normalized representation"- so most significant bit of mantissa is always 1 (this is different from IEEE 754 normalized representation where this 1 is omitted in representation, but here it seems to be added on the right of decimal point as seen from options).
So, the maximum value of mantissa will be 23 1's where a decimal point is assumed before first 1. So, this value will be 1- 2-23.
Due to the 1 in normalized representation, the smallest positive number will be 1 followed by 23 0's which will be 2-1 = 0.5

Given that mantissa is sign magnitude representation so 1 bit for sign and remaining 23 bits for mantissa and  we have to find the range of mantissa in normalized form ....
so smallest will be = .100.....0(normalize form) which is 2^(-1) = .5
and for largest will be .111....1 which is 1-2^(-23) .
so range will be .5 to (1-2^(-23))

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 8

The value of the radix r is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 8


2r2 + 2r + 4 = r2 + 6r+ 9
r2 - 4r -5 = 0
r2 -5r +r - 5 = 0
(r-5)(r+1)=0
r can not be -1
so r = 5 is correct answer

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 9

The octal representation of an integer is (342)8. If this were to be treated as an eight-bit integer in an 8085 based computer, its decimal equivalent is

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 9


If we treat this as an 8 bit integer, the first bit becomes sign bit and since it is "1", number is negative. Computer uses 2's complement representation for negative numbers and hence the decimal equivalent will be 

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 10

Suppose the domain set of an attribute consists of signed four digit numbers. What is the percentage of reduction in storage space of this attribute if it is stored as an integer rather than in character form?

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 10

I assume byte addressable memory- nothing smaller than a byte can be used.
We have four digits. So, to represent signed 4 digit numbers we need 5 bytes- 4 for four digits and 1 for the sign (like -7354). So, required memory = 5 bytes
Now, if we use integer, the largest number needed to represent is 9999 and this requires 2 bytes of memory for signed representation.

So, memory savings while using integer is 

*Multiple options can be correct
Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 11

Zero has two representations in

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 11

Sign Magnitude
+0 = 0000
-0 = 1000
1's complement
+0 = 0000
-0 = 1111

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 12

The number 43 in 2's complement representation is

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 12

2's complement representation is not same as 2's complement of a number. In 2's complement representation positive integers are represented in its normal binary form while negative numbers are represented in its 2's complement form. So (c) is correct here.

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 13

Consider the values of A = 2.0 x 1030, B = -2.0 x 1030 , C = 1.0, and the sequence 

executed on a computer where floating point numbers are represented with 32 bits. The values for X and Y will be

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 13

Given 32 bits representation. So, the maximum precision can be 32 bits (In 32-bit IEEE representation, maximum precision is 24 bits but we take best case here). This means approximately 10 digits.
A = 2.0 * 1030, C = 1.0
So, A + C should make the 31st digit to 1, which is surely outside the precision level of A (it is 31st digit and not 31st bit).
So, this addition will just return the value of A which will be assigned to Y. So, Y + B will return 0.0 while X + C will return 1.0. 
B choice. 

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 14

The 2's complement representation of (-539)10 in hexadecimal is

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 14

539 = 512 + 16 + 8 + 2 + 1 = 29 + 24 + 23 + 21 + 20
 = (1000011011)2
Now all answers have 12 bits, so we add two 0's at beginning = (001000011011)2
To convert to 2's complement invert all bits till the rightmost 1, which will be (110111100101)2
= (1101 1110 0101)2
= (DE5)16

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 15

The decimal value 0.25

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 15

1st Multiplication Iteration Multiply 0.25 by 2
0.25 x 2 = 0.50(Product)         Fractional part=0.50  
Carry=0    (MSB)
2nd Multiplication Iteration
Multiply 0.50 by 2
0.50 x 2 = 1.00(Product)         Fractional part = 1.00
Carry = 1(LSB)   
The fractional part in the 2nd iteration becomes zero and hence we stop the multiplication iteration.
Carry from the 1st multiplication iteration becomes MSB and  carry from 2nd iteration becomes LSB
So the Result is 0.01

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 16

The 2's complement representation of the decimal value -15 is

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 16

is the correct ans.In 2's complement representation, positive numbers are represented in simple binary form and negative numbers are represented in its 2's complement form. So, for -15, we have to complement its binary value -01111 and add a 1 to it, which gives 10001. Option D.

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 17

Sign extension is a step in

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 17

is the answer. Sign extension (filling the upper bits using the sign bit) is needed while increasing the number of bits for representing a number. For positive numbers, 0 is extended and for negative numbers 1 is extended.

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 18

In 2's complement addition, overflow

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 18

is the answer. When a positive value and negative value are added overflow never happens. 

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 19

Assuming all numbers are in 2’s complement representation, which of the following numbers is divisible by 11111011?

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 19

MSB of 2's compliment number has a weight of - 2^(n-1).
(Trick: (from reversing sign extension) just skip all leading 1's from MSB expect but 1, and then calculate the value as normal signed binary rep. ) so by calculating, we get the given number is -5 in decimal. and options are 
a. -25
b. -28
c. -41
d. -37
Therefore it is clear that - 25 is divisible by - 5. so we can say that (a.) is correct.

Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 20

If 73x (in base-x number system) is equal to 54y (in base y-number system), the possible values of x and y are

Detailed Solution for Test: Number Representations- 1 - Question 20

x * 7 + 3 = 5 * y + 4 => 7x = 5y + 1. Only option satisfying this is D.
