Q: The value of base in a decimal number system is ____________
Solution: A decimal number system consists of 10 digits from 0 to 9. The definition of base describes it as a quantity to represent the number of digits present in that particular number system. Therefore, here, the base is 10.
Q: Convert : (110)2 = ( __ )10.
Solution: The base 2 represents that the number is binary ,whereas, the base 10 represents that it is to be converted to the decimal format. Conversion: 22 * 1 + 21 * 1 + 20 *0 = 6.
Q: The 2’s complement of 15 is ____________
Solution: 2’s complement is obtained by adding 1 to the 1’s complement of the number. Here, Binary of 15 = 1111 1’s complement of 15= 0000 2’s complement of 15= 0000+1=0001.
Q: Another name for base is __________
Solution: Another name for base is radix. Base refers to the number of digits that a particular number system consists of. The base of decimal number system is 10, binary is 2 and so on.
Q: The decimal equivalent of (0.101)2 will be __________
Solution: Since the base is 2 , it could be easily guessed that the number is binary. Conversion: 2-1 * 1 + 2-2 * 0 + 2-3 * 1 = 0.625.
Q: The signed magnitude for -3 will be ___________
Solution: Signed Magnitude of a number is a representation to determine if the number is positive or negative. If the MSB of a number is 0, the number is positive, else if it is 1 the number is negative. Here, +3 = 00000011 -3= 100000011.
Q: A number with both integer and a fractional part has digits raised to both positive and negative powers of 2 in a decimal number system.
Solution: In a decimal number system, a number with both integer and a fractional part has digits raised to both positive and negative powers of 10 and not 2. e.g. 22.34 = 2 * 101 + 2 * 100 + 3 * 10-1 + 4 * 10-2.
Q: The hexadecimal representation of 14 is _______________
Solution: The hexadecimal representations are as follows: 10 : A 11 : B 12 : C 13 : D 14 : E 15 : F.
Q: Which of the following is not a decimal number?
Solution: All the numbers except 99.9A are decimal numbers. This number has a hexadecimal component A in it, therefore , it is not a valid decimal number. The decimal equivalent of A is 10.
Q: Select the incorrect option:
Solution: G is not a valid hexadecimal number. In this system, only representations from A to E are used to represent the numbers from 10 to 15. The base of the hexadecimal number system is 16.
