Answer:
1. (ADD)₁₆
Step 1: Write down the 4 bit binary equivalent of each digit

Step 2: Divide this number into groups of 3 bits starting from the right and write down the octal equivalent.

(ADD)(ADD)₁₆ = (5335)(ADD)₈

2. (DEAD)₁₆
Step 1: Write down the 4 bit binary equivalent of each digit.

Step 2: Divide this number into groups of 3 bits starting from the right and write down the octal equivalent.

(DEAD)₁₆ = (157255)₈

Question 7.
If (126)x = (56)y, then find x and y.
Answer:
L.H.S contains 2 & 6, so x ≠ 2
R.H.S contains 5 & 6, so y ≠ 2
L.H.S > R.H.S
So x < y and x ≠ y also The possible values of x and y are given below.

Case I:
Let x = 8 then y = 10

It is grater than (56)₁₀
so when x = 8 then y ≠ 10

case II:
let x = 8 and y = 16

Question 8.
If (102)x = (42)y then (154)x = (  )y.
Answer:
L.H.S contains 2, so x ≠ 2
R.H.S contains 5 & 4, so y ≠ 2
L.H.S > R.H.S
So x < y and x ≠ y also
The possible values of x and y are given below.

case I:
let x = 8 and y = 10

So when x = 8 then y ≠ 10

case II:
let x = 8 and y = 16

So x = 8 and y = 16
then we have fo find the hexadecimal equivalent of (154)₈ For this first convert this into binary thus again convert it into hexadecimal. First write down the 3 bit equivalent of 154.

Then divide this number into groups of 4 bits starting from the right and write down the hexa decimal equivalent.

so the result is (154)₈ = (6C)₁₆

Question 9.
Fill up the missing digit.
If (121)_a = (441)_b then (121)_b = (  )₁₀
Answer:
L.H.S. contains 2, so a ≠ 2
R.H.S. contains 4, so b ≠ 2
L.H.S. < R.H.S. So a > b and a b also.
Hence the values of a can be 10 or 16.
The values of b can be 8 or 10.
The possible values of a and b are given below.

Case I:
Let a = 16 and b = 10
(121 )₁₆ = (289)_10, so b ≠ 10

Case II:
Let a = 16 and b = 8
(121)₁₆ = (289)₁₀
(441)₈ = 4 × 8² + 4 × 8¹ + 1 × 8⁰
= 256 +32 + 1
= (289)₁₀.
So a = 16 and b = 8.
Then (121)₈ = 1 × 82 + 2 × 81 + 1 × 80
= 64 + 16 + 1 = (81)₁₀

Question 10.
Fill up the missing digit. (Score 3)
If (128)_a = (450)_b then (16)_a = (  )₁₀
Answer:
L.H.S. contains 2 & 8, so a 2 and a ≠ 8.
R.H.S. contains 4 and 5, so b ≠ 2.
L.H.S. < R.H.S. so a > b and a ≠ b also.
The possible values of a and b are given below.

Case I:
a = 16 and b = 8
(128)₁₆ = (296)₁₀
(450)₈ = (296)₁₀ So a = 16 and b = 8.
Then (16)₁₆ = 1 × 16 + 6 × 16⁰ = (22)₁₀

Question 11.
Fill up the missing digit.
(3A.6D)₁₆ = (  )₈
Answer:
Step I: Write down the 4 bits equivalent of each digit.

Step II: Divide this number into groups of 3 bit starting from the right side of the left side of the decimal point and starting from the left side of the right side of the decimal point.
So 00/111/010.011/011/010

Step III: Write the octal equivalent of each group. SO we will get. (72.332)₈.
(3A.6D)₁₆ = (72.332)₈

Question 12.
What are the various ways to represent integers in computer?
Answer:
There are three ways to represent integers in computer. They are as follows:

1. Sign Magnitude Representation (SMR)
2. 1’s Complement Representation
3. 2’s Complement Representation

1. SMR:
Normally a number has two parts sign and magnitude, eg: Consider a number +5. Here + is the sign and 5 is the magnitude. In SMR the most significant Bit (MSB) is used to represent the sign. If MSB is 0 sign is +ve and MSB is 1 sign is – ve.
eg: If a computer has word size is 1 byte then

Here MSB is used for sign then the remaining 7 bits are used to represent magnitude. So we can represent 27 = 128 numbers. But there are negative and positive numbers. So 128 + 128 = 256 number. The numbers are 0 to +127 and 0 to -127. Here zero is repeated. So we can represent 256 – 1 = 255 numbers.

2. 1 ‘s Complement Representation: To get the 1’s complement of a binary number, just replace every 0 with 1 and every 1 with 0. Negative numbers are represented using 1’s complement but +ve number has no 1’s complement.
eg: To find the 1’s complement of 21 +21 = 00010101
To get the 1 ‘s complement change all 0 to 1 and all 1 to 0.
-21 = 11101010
1’s complement of 21 is 11101010

3. 2’s Complement Representation: To get the 2’s complement of a binary number, just add 1 to its 1’s complement +ve number has no 2’s complement.
eg: To find the 2’s complement of 21 +21 =00010101
First take the 1’s complement for this change all 1 to 0 and all 0 to 1

2’s complement of 21 is 1110 1011

Question 13.
Write short notes about Unicode (3)
Answer:
It is like ASCII Code. By using ASCII, we can represent limited number of characters. But using Unicode we can represent all of the characters used in the written languages of the world.
eg: Malayalam, Hindi, Sanskrit.

Answer:
1 – b, 2 – f, 3 – a, 4 – c, 5 – d, 6 – e

Question 15.
Find the largest number in the list.

1. (1001)₂
2. (A)₁₆
3. (10)₈
4. (11)₁₀

Answer:
Convert all numbers into decimal
1. (1001)₂ = 1 × 2³ + 0 × 2² + 0 × 2¹ + 1 × 2⁰
= 8 + 0 + 0 + 1
= (9)₁₀

2.) (A)₁₆ = (10)₁₀

3. (10)₈ = 1 × 8¹+0 × 8⁰
= (8)₁₀
So the largest number is 4 – (11)₁₀

Question 16.
Subtract 10101 from 1111 by using 2’s complement method.
Answer:
To subtract a number from another number find the 2’s complement of the subtrahend and add it with the minuend. Here subtrahend is 10101 and minuend is 1111 First take the 1’s complement of the subtrahend and add 1 to it.
1’s complement of 10101 is 01010 add 1 to it

Here is no carry. So the result, is -ve and take the 2’s complement of 11010 and put a -ve symbol. So 1’s complement of 11010 is 00101 add 1 to this

So the result is -00110

Question 40.
Computers uses a fixed number of bits to respresent data which could be a number, a character, image, sound, video etc. Explain the various methods used to represent characters in memory.
Answer:
Representation of characters.
1. ASCII(American Standard Code for Information Interchange):
It is 7 bits code used to represent alphanumeric and some special characters in computer memory. It is introduced by the U.S. government. Each character in the keyboard has a unique number.
eg: ASCII code of ‘a’ is 97.

When you press ‘a’ in the keyboard , a signal equivalent to 1100001 (Binary equivalent of 97 is 1100001) is passed to the computer memory. 2⁷ = 128, hence we can represent only 128 characters by using ASCII. It is not enough to represent all the characters of a standard keyboard.

2. EBCDIC(Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code):
It is an 8 bit code introduced by IBM(International Business Machine). 2⁸ = 256 characters can be represented by using this.

3. ISCII(Indian Standard Code for Information Interchange):
It uses 8 bits to represent data and introduced by standardization committee and adopted by Bureau of Indian Standards(BIS).

4. Unicode:
