1) what is the logic behind taking 1024bits as 1 K bit?

2) implement the NAND logic using a 5 V supply and 2 resistors


3) ieee single precision format for 1/5. form : 1 signbit, 8 bits for exponent,
23 bits for mantissa
4) Give Binary representation of -125.375 in fixed point 2C notation with 3
bits for fractional part and 8 bits for integer part.
5) Given a 4 bit binary number design a circuit that gives square of the
number.
6) A binary number is enormously large, so it is divided by a fixed number
and the remainder is used.What is this called and why it is called so????
7) consider a numeric system with base 20,which is a simple extension to
the hexadecimalsystem such that the letter A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I and J stand
for the decimal number 10,11,12,1,14,15,16,17,18and 19 respectively.
The value IA in above system is equivalent to :ans (c ) 562 in the octal
system.
8) If a signed integer is stored in a 8 bit memory element ,which of the
following is true/
ans (a) the minimum value of the integer possible is -128
9) assume the following convention for storing real numbers of size 10 bits
in mantissaexponent form:
Mantissa :6 MSB bits, stored in 2,s complement
Exponent:4 LSB ,stored in excess 4 form.
Under the above rule the decimal number corresponding to 1,110,11,0111
10)
in

given 6 bit mantissa in 2s complement form and 4 bit exponent is

excess-4 form in a floating point representation, find the number


ans -(something) * ( 2 to the power 3)
11)
in a machine a flating point number is represented

A is the number of 0s.
B is the number of 1s etc
J is the number of 9s
What is the number?
20)
A 5 digit number is appended with 7(on right of units place) and
multiplied by 5 then the result is similar to intial no with 7 on the left
most digit (most significant digit). Find the 3rd digit in the initial number
ans = abcde7
*5
------------7abcde
Therefore, e=5, b=8, c=2
answer: c=2
21)
abcdefghij
a=no of zeros in the no
b= no of ones in the no
