1. B. ( AB.CD )16 = (1010 1011.1100 11012 , starting from LSB, moving towards left, re-
peat the digits until the occurrence of a 1, then complement all digits, ⇒ 0101 0100.0011 00112 =
54.3316
2. AB16 = 101010112 = 2538 ,(branching of 3 digits from right to left) 0.CD16 =
0.110011012 = 0.6328 , (branching of 3 digits from left to right). ⇒ AB.CD =
253.6328
3. B. 1001002 = (1 × 25 + 1 × 22 )10 = 3610
4. C. 445 = 52 − 110 , 334 = 42 − 110 , 223 = 32 − 110 , 112 = 22 − 110 ⇒ 445 + 334 + 223 +

112 = (24 + 15 + 8 + 3)10 = 5010
5. A. 445 = (25 − 1)10 , 336 = 3 × 6 + 3 = 2110 , 227 = 2 × 7 + 2 = 1610 , 118 = 8 + 1 =
910 ⇒ (24 + 21 + 16 + 9)10 = 7010
6. D. Heighest number in binary using four digits. r (no. o f digits) − 1 = 24 − 1 = 1510
7. C. 3333334 =⇒ r (no. o f digits) − 1 = 46 − 1 = (4096 − 1)10 = 409510
8. C. 6416 = 6 × 16 + 4 = 10010
288 ⇒ b = 6

9. B. (1204)b = (1 × b3 + 2 × b2 + 0 + 4)10 = 29210 ⇒ b3 + 2b2 + 4 = 292 ⇒ b3 + 2b2 =
10. D. the decimal equivalents are 2, 4, 6, 10, 16
11. A. (2.3)4 + (1.2)4 = Y4 ⇒ (10.1)4 (base 4 addition)
IF
12. C. Base x addition, 5 + 4 = 910 . Instead of 9 we have 3(9 − 6) at LSB. Hence base
x=6
13. C. r2 + r = 4r ⇒ r2 − 3r = 0, ⇒ r = 3.(111)3 = 32 + 3 + 1 = 1310
3 × b2 + 2
14. A. = b + 2 + b−1 = 3b2 + 2 = 2 × b2 + 4b + 2 ⇒ b2 − 4b = 0 ⇒ b = 4

15. A. 7x + 3 = 5y + 4, ⇒ 7x − 5y = 1, ⇒ x = 8, y = 11
16. D. Taking the decimal equivalent, (r3 + 2r2 + 3r + 4)10 + (5r3 + 4r2 + 3r + 2)10 =
(6r3 + 6r2 + 6r + 6), LHS = RHS. Hence r can take any value > 6 or ≥ 7
A
4r + 1
17. D. Taking the decimal equivalent, = r + 3, ⇒ r = 8

18. B. Taking the decimal equivalent, (2r + 3)10 + (4r + 4)10 + (r + 4)10 + (3r + 2)10 =
(2r2 + 2r + 3)10 ⇒ −2r2 + 8r + 10 = 0, ⇒ r = 5

19. A. Given (41)r = (5)r ⇒ (4.r + 1)10 = (5)10 , squaring both sides, (4.r + 1)10 =
(25)10 , ⇒ 4.r − 24 = 0, ⇒ r = 6
20. A. (11X1Y )8 = (12C9)16 = (0 001 001 011 001 001)2 = (011311)8 , ⇒ X = 3, Y = 1
21. 3. (123)5 = ( x8)y ⇒ 3810 = ( xy + 8)0 , ⇒ x.y = 30, also y > x and y > 8. Hence
the possible values of x and y are, (1, 30), (2, 15), (3, 10)
22. C. (7526)8 − (Y )8 = (4364)8 , Y = (7526)8 − (4364)8 = (3142)8

23. D. 22 = 216 = 64 × 210 = 65536
24. C. 25 + 22 = 32 + 4 = 3610 = (44)8
25. C. (122)5 = 25 + 10 + 2 = (37)10 = 5 × 71 + 2 × 70 , ⇒ x = (52)7
