Number System is about the most important subject in quantitative aptitude. A number system is a system of writing for expressing numbers. It is the mathematical notation for indicating numbers of a given set by using numerals in a constant manner. It represents the arithmetic and algebraic structure of the figures and provides provides a unique representation to every number. It also allows us to operate arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Answer & Exaplanations

 

1. Ans: (b).

 

2.Ans: (c).

 

3.Ans: (a).

 

4.Ans: (b)

(1111)2 = 1*23 + 1*22 + 1*21 + 1*20 = 8+4+2+1 = 15

 

5.Ans: (b).

 

6.Ans: (b).

(2011)5= 2*53 + 0*52 + 1*51 + 1*50 = 250+5+1= (256)10

The square root of (256)10 = (16)10 = (31)5

 

7.Ans: (a)

(6E)16 = 6*161 +14*160 = 96 + 14 = (110)10

(3B)12 = 3*121 + 11*120 = 36 + 11=(47)10

(110)10 + (47)10 = (157)10

 

8. Ans: (b)

(ABC)16 = 10*162 + 11*161 + 12*160  = 2560+176+12 = 2748.

 

9.Ans: (a)

 

10.(11010)2 = 1*24 + 1*23 + 0*22 + 1*21 +0*20 = 16+8+2 = (26)10
