| Question 6 |
Let r denote number system radix. The only value(s) of r that satisfy the equation 
is/are
| decimal 10 | |
| decimal 11 | |
| decimal 10 and 11 | |
| any value > 2 |
Question 6 Explanation:
√121r = 11r
(r2 + 2r + 1)1/2 = r + 1
(r + 1)2 * 1/2 = r + 1
r + 1 = r + 1
Any value of r will satisfy the above equation. But the radix should be greater than 2 because the 121 has 2. So r > 2 is correct.
(r2 + 2r + 1)1/2 = r + 1
(r + 1)2 * 1/2 = r + 1
r + 1 = r + 1
Any value of r will satisfy the above equation. But the radix should be greater than 2 because the 121 has 2. So r > 2 is correct.
Correct Answer: D
