What is the equivalent decimal value of 1100001B?

  1. 97

  2. 65

  3. 45

  4. 90

  5. 91


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Convert 97D to binary 97/2 => quotient=48 remainder=1 48/2 => quotient=24 remainder=0 24/2 => quotient=12 remainder=0 12/2 => quotient=6 remainder=0 6/2 => quotient=3 remainder=1 3/2 => quotient=1 remainder=1 1/2 => quotient=0 remainder=1 (quotient=0 stop) Hence, 97D = 1100001B

What is the range of n-bit unsigned integer number?

  1. 2^n

  2. 0 to (2^n) - 1

    • 2^(n - 1) to + 2^(n - 1) - 1
  3. 0 to (2^n + 1)

  4. 0 to (2^n - 1) + 1


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In sign-magnitude representation, which number is used to define negative?

  1. 0

    • 1
  2. 1

  3. 2

    • 2

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In sign-magnitude representation, 1 is used to define negative. For example: 1000 ≡ - 0 since 1 is MSD, which defines negative. Hence, - 0.
