Question 1 |
In 16-bit 2's complement representation, the decimal number -28 is:
1111 1111 1110 0100 | |
1111 1111 0001 1100 | |
0000 0000 1110 0100 | |
1000 0000 1110 0100 |
1’s complement = 1111 1111 1110 0011
2’s complement = 1’s complement + 1
2’s complement = 1111 1111 1110 0100 = (-28)
Question 2 |
Two numbers are chosen independently and uniformly at random from the set {1, 2, ..., 13}. The probability (rounded off to 3 decimal places) that their 4-bit (unsigned) binary representations have the same most significant bit is ______.
0.502 | |
0.461 | |
0.402 | |
0.561 |
1 - 0001
2 - 0010
3 - 0011
4 - 0100
5 - 0101
6 - 0110
7 - 0111
8 - 1000
9 - 1001
10 - 1010
11 - 1011
12 - 1100
13 - 1101
The probability that their 4-bit binary representations have the same most significant bit is
= P(MSB is 0) + P(MSB is 1)
= (7×7)/(13×13) + (6×6)/(13×13)
= (49+36)/169
= 85/169
= 0.502
Question 3 |
Consider Z = X - Y, where X, Y and Z are all in sign-magnitude form. X and Y are each represented in n bits. To avoid overflow, the representation of Z would require a minimum of:
n bits | |
n + 2 bits | |
n - 1 bits | |
n + 1 bits |
To store overflow/carry bit there should be extra space to accommodate it.
Hence, Z should be n+1 bits.
Question 4 |
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
where the position of the binary point is between b3 and b2 . Assume b7 is the most significant bit.
Some of the decimal numbers listed below cannot be represented exactly in the above representation:
(i) 31.500
(ii) 0.875
(iii) 12.100
(iv) 3.001
Which one of the following statements is true?
None of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) can be exactly represented
| |
Only (ii) cannot be exactly represented | |
Only (iii) and (iv) cannot be exactly represented | |
Only (i) and (ii) cannot be exactly represented |
= 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 0.5
= (31.5)10
(ii) (0.875)10 = (00000.111)2
= 2-1 + 2-2 + 2-3
= 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125
= (0.875)10
(iii) (12.100)10
It is not possible to represent (12.100)10
(iv) (3.001)10 It is not possible to represent (3.001)10
Question 5 |
The n-bit fixed-point representation of an unsigned real number X uses f bits for the fraction part. Let i = n-f. The range of decimal values for X in this representation is
2-f to 2i | |
2-f to (2i - 2-f) | |
0 to 2i | |
0 to (2i - 2-f ) |
Number of bits in fraction part → f-bits
Number of bits in integer part → (n – f) bits

Minimum value:
000…0.000…0 = 0
Maximum value:

= (2 n-f - 1) + (1 - 2 -f
= (2n-f - 2 -f)
= (2i - 2 -f )
Question 6 |
The representation of the value of a 16-bit unsigned integer X in hexadecimal number system is BCA9. The representation of the value of X in octal number system is
136251 | |
736251 | |
571247 | |
136252 |
Each hexadecimal digit is equal to a 4-bit binary number. So convert
X = (BCA9)16 to binary

Divide the binary data into groups 3 bits each because each octal digit is represented by 3-bit binary number.
X = (001 011 110 010 101 001)2
Note: Two zeroes added at host significant position to make number bits of a multiple of 3 (16 + 2 = 18)
X = (136251)8
Question 7 |
Given the following binary number in 32-bit (single precision) IEEE-754 format:
The decimal value closest to this floating-point number is
1.45 × 101 | |
1.45 × 10-1 | |
2.27 × 10-1 | |
2.27 × 101 |

For single-precision floating-point representation decimal value is equal to (-1)5 × 1.M × 2(E-127)
S = 0
E = (01111100)2 = (124).
So E – 127 = - 3
1.M = 1.11011010…0
= 20 + 2(-1) + 2(-1) + 2(-4) + 2(-5) + 2(-7)
= 1+0.5+0.25+0.06+0.03+0.007
≈ 1.847
(-1)5 × 1.M × 2(E-127)
= -10 × 1.847 × 2-3
≈ 0.231
≈ 2.3 × 10-1
Question 8 |
Consider a quadratic equation x2 - 13x + 36 = 0 with coefficients in a base b. The solutions of this equation in the same base b are x = 5 and x = 6. Then b=________.
8 | |
9 | |
10 | |
11 |
Generally if a, b are roots.
(x - a)(x - b) = 0
x2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0
Given that x=5, x=6 are roots of (1)
So, a + b = 13
ab=36 (with same base ‘b’)
i.e., (5)b + (6)b = (13)b
Convert them into decimal value
5b = 510
610 = 610
13b = b+3
11 = b+3
b = 8
Now check with ab = 36
5b × 6b = 36b
Convert them into decimals
5b × 6b = (b×3) + 610
30 = b × 3 + 6
24 = b × 3
b = 8
∴ The required base = 8
Question 9 |
Consider a binary code that consists of only four valid code words as given below:
Let the minimum Hamming distance of the code be p and the maximum number of erroneous bits that can be corrected by the code be q. Then the values of p and q are
p=3 and q=1 | |
p=3 and q=2 | |
p=4 and q=1 | |
p=4 and q=2 |
Minimum Distance = p = 3

Error bits that can be corrected = (p-1)/2 = (3-1)/2 = 1
∴ p=3 and q=1
Question 10 |
The 16-bit 2’s complement representation of an integer is 1111 1111 1111 0101; its decimal representation is __________.
-11 | |
-12 | |
-13 | |
-14 |
It is a negative number because MSB is 1.
Magnitude of 1111 1111 1111 0101 is 2’s complement of 1111 1111 1111 0101.
1111 1111 1111 0101
0000 0000 0000 1010 : 1’s Complement
0000 0000 0000 1011 : 2’s complement
= (11)10
Hence, 1111 1111 1111 0101 = -11
Question 11 |
Let X be the number of distinct 16-bit integers in 2’s complement representation. Let Y be the number of distinct 16-bit integers in sign magnitude representation.
Then X-Y is _________.
1 | |
2 | |
3 | |
4 |
Since range is - 215 to 215 - 1
Y = 216 - 1
Here, +0 and -0 are represented separately.
X - Y = 216 - (216 - 1)
= 1
Question 12 |
The base (or radix) of the number system such that the following equation holds is_________.
312/20 = 13.1
5 | |
6 | |
7 | |
8 |
(3r2 + r + 2) / 2r= (r+3+1/r)
(3r2 + r + 2) / 2r= (r2+3r+1) / r
(3r2 + r + 2) = (2r2+6r+2)
r2 -5r = 0
Therefor r = 5
Question 13 |
Consider the equation (123)5 = (x8)y with x and y as unknown. The number of possible solutions is __________.
3 | |
5 | |
6 | |
7 |
(123)5 = (x8)y
In R.H.S. since y is base so y should be greater than x and 8, i.e.,
y > x
y > 8
Now, to solve let's change all the above bases number into base 10 number,
52 × 1 +2 × 5 + 3 = y × x + 8
38 = xy + 8
xy = 30
⇒ yx = 30
So the possible combinations are
(1,30), (2,15), (3,10), (5,6)
But we will reject (5,6) because it violates the condition (y > 8).
So, total solutions possible is 3.
Question 14 |
The value of a float type variable is represented using the single-precision 32-bit floating point format of IEEE-754 standard that uses 1 bit for sign, 8 bits for biased exponent and 23 bits for mantissa. A float type variable X is assigned the decimal value of −14.25. The representation of X in hexadecimal notation is
C1640000H | |
416C0000H | |
41640000H | |
C16C0000H |
(14.25)10 = 1110.01000
= 1.11001000 x 23
23 bit Mantissa = 11001000000000000000000
Biased Exponent = exponent + bias
= 3 + 127 = 130 = 1000 0010
(-14.25) in 32-bit IEEE-754 floating point representation is
1 10000010 11001000000000000000000
= 1100 0001 0110 0100 0000 0000 000 0000
= (C 1 6 4 0 0 0 0)16

![]() | |
![]() | |
![]() | |
![]() |

Question 16 |
Let ⊕ denote the Exclusive OR (XOR) operation. Let ‘1’ and ‘0’ denote the binary constants. Consider the following Boolean expression for F over two variables P and Q:
F(P,Q) = ((1⊕P)⊕(P⊕Q))⊕((P⊕Q)⊕(Q⊕0))
The equivalent expression for F is
P+Q | |
![]() | |
P⨁Q | |
![]() |
⊕ is associative i.e P ⊕ (Q ⊕ R) = (P⊕Q) ⊕ R.
P ⊕ P = 0, 1 ⊕ P = P’ and 0 ⊕ Q = Q
(1 ⊕ P) ⊕ ((P ⊕ Q) ⊕ (P ⊕ Q)) ⊕ (Q ⊕ 0)
= P’⊕ (0) ⊕ Q
= P’ ⊕ Q
= (P ⊕ Q)’
Question 17 |
The smallest integer that can be represented by an 8-bit number in 2’s complement form is
-256 | |
-128 | |
-127 | |
0 |
The smallest 8-bit 2’s complement number is 1000 0000.
MSB is 1. So it is a negative number.
To know the magnitude again take 2’s complement of 1000 0000.
1000 0000
0111 1111 ← 1’s complement
1000 0000 ← 2’s complement (1’s complement +1)
= 128
-128 is 1000 0000 in 2’s complement representation.
Question 18 |
Which one of the following expressions does NOT represent exclusive NOR of x and y?
xy+x'y' | |
x⊕y' | |
x'⊕y | |
x'⊕y' |
x’ ⊕ y’ = xy’ + x’y = x⊕y. Hence option D is correct.
Question 19 |
The decimal value 0.5 in IEEE single precision floating point representation has
fraction bits of 000…000 and exponent value of 0 | |
fraction bits of 000…000 and exponent value of −1 | |
fraction bits of 100…000 and exponent value of 0 | |
no exact representation |
So, value of the exponent = -1
and
fraction is 000…000 (Implicit representation)
Question 20 |
P is a 16-bit signed integer. The 2's complement representation of P is (F87B)16. The 2's complement representation of 8*P is
(C3D8)16 | |
(187B)16 | |
(F878)16 | |
(987B)16 |
(F87B)16=(1111 1000 0111 1011)2. (It is a negative number which is in 2's complement form)
P = 1111 1000 0111 1011 (2's complement form)
8 * P = 23* P = 1100 0011 1101 1000. ( NOTE: Left shift k times is equivalent to Multiplication by 2k)
Hence, 1100 0011 1101 1000 is 2's complement representation of 8P.
1100 0011 1101 1000 = (C3D8)16.

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 |
(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.
Question 24 |

Bias = 64. So biased exponent is 13+64 = 77= (1001101)2
0.239 × 213 = 0 1001101 00111101
= 0100 1101 0011 1101
= 4 D 3 D

Question 34 |
The decimal value 0.25
is equivalent to the binary value 0.1 | |
is equivalent to the binary value 0.01 | |
is equivalent to the binary value 0.00111… | |
cannot be represented precisely in binary |
Multiply 0.25 by 2.
0.25×2 = 0.50 (product)
Fractional part = 0.50
Carry = 0
2nd Multiplication iteration:
Multiply 0.50 by 2.
0.50×2 = 1.00 (product)
Fractional part = 0.00
Carry = 1
The fractional part in the 2nd iteration becomes zero and so we stop the multiplication iteration.
Carry from 1st multiplication iteration becomes MSB and carry from 2nd iteration becomes LSB. So the result is 0.01.

f = x1 + x2' |
g = (1 and x1’) or (0 and x1)
g = x1’
f = ac’ + bc
f = (a and x2′) or (b and x2)
f = (g and x2′) or (x1 and x2)
f = x1’x2’ + x1x2
Question 41 |
The number 43 in 2’s complement representation is
01010101 | |
11010101 | |
00101011 | |
10101011 |
Question 42 |
Consider the values A = 2.0 x 1030, B = -2.0 x 1030, C = 1.0, and the sequence
X: = A + B Y: = A + C X: = X + C Y: = Y + B
executed on a computer where floating-point numbers are represented with 32 bits. The values for X and Y will be
X = 1.0, Y = 1.0 | |
X = 1.0, Y = 0.0 | |
X = 0.0, Y = 1.0 | |
X = 0.0, Y = 0.0 |
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.
Question 43 |
Booth’s coding in 8 bits for the decimal number –57 is
0 – 100 + 1000 | |
0 – 100 + 100 - 1 | |
0 – 1 + 100 – 10 + 1 | |
00 – 10 + 100 - 1 |

Question 44 |
Zero has two representations in
Sign magnitude | |
1’s complement | |
2’s complement | |
None of the above | |
Both A and B |
+0 = 0000
-0 = 1000
1's complement:
+0 = 0000
-0 = 1111
Question 45 |
The octal representation of an integer is (342)8. If this were to be treated as an eight-bit integer is an 8085 based computer, its decimal equivalent is
226 | |
-98 | |
76 | |
-30 |
If this can be treated as 8 bit integer, then the first becomes sign bit i.e., '1' then the number is negative.
8085 uses 2's complement then

⇒ -30
Question 46 |
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?
80% | |
20% | |
60% | |
40% |
We have four digits. So to represent signed 4 digit numbers we need 5 bytes, 4 bytes for four digits and 1 for the sign.
So required memory = 5 bytes.
Now, if we use integer, the largest no. needed to represent is 9999 and this requires 2 bytes of memory for signed representation.
9999 in binary requires 14 bits. So, 2 bits remaining and 1 we can use for sign bit.
So, memory savings,
= 5 - 2/5 × 100
= 60%
Question 47 |
Given √224)r = 13)r.
The value of the radix r is:
10 | |
8 | |
5 | |
6 |
Convert r base to decimal.
√2r2 + 25 + 4 = r + 3
Take square both sides,
2r2 + 2r + 4 = r2 + 6r + 9
r2 - 4r - 5 = 0
r2 - 5r + r - 5 = 0
r(r - 5) + (r - 5) = 0
r = -1, 5
r cannot be -1,
So r = 5 is correct answer.
Question 48 |
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
0 to 1 | |
0.5 to 1 | |
2-23 to 0.5 | |
0.5 to (1-2-23) |
Question 49 |
The number of 1’s in the binary representation of
(3*4096 + 15*256 + 5*16 + 3) are:
8 | |
8 | |
10 | |
12 |
= (11000000000000)2
15 × 256 = 15 × 28
= (111100000000)2
5 × 16 = 5 × 24
= (1010000)2
3 = (11)2
Hence, all binary numbers,

∴ 101's

0x40800000 | |
0x83400000 | |
0xC8500000 | |
0xC0800000 |

R1 = 1.0100..0 X 2132-127
= 1.0100..0 X 25
= 101.0 X 23
= 5 X 8
= 40

R2 = (-1) x 1.0100..0 X 2130-127
= (-1) x 1.0100..0 X 23
= (-1) x 101.0 X 21
= (-1) x5 X 2
= -10
R3 = R1/R2
= -4
= (-1)x 1.0 x 22
Sign = 1
Mantissa = 000..0
Exponent = 2+127 = 129

R3 = 1100 0000 1000 000..0
= 0x C 0 8 0 0 0 0 0

(b) 1118 mod 16 = E, quotient = 69
69 mod 16 = 5, quotient = 4
4 mod 16 = 4
Writing the mods result in reverse order gives (45E)H.
