Directions: Study the following information & answer the question given below: In a certain code, the symbol for 0 (zero) is @ & for 1 (one) is $. There are no other symbols for all other numbers greater than 1. The numbers greater than 1 are to be written only by using the two symbols given above. The value of the symbol given for 1 doubles itself every time it shifts one place to the left. Study the following example: 0 is written as @ 1 is written as $ 2 is written as $@ 3 is written as $$ 4 is written as $@@ & so on.

Which of the following will represent 11?

  1. $@$$

  2. @$$@

  3. $$@@
