Chapter 2 Encoding Schemes and Number

System
Question 1: Write base values of binary, octal and hexadecimal
number system.
Answer:
NUMBER SYSTEM BASE VALUE
Binary number system 2
Octal number system 8
hexadecimal number system 16
Question 2: Give full form of ASCII and ISCII.
Answer:

o The full form of ASCII is American Standard Code for Information

o The full form of ISCII is Indian Script Code for Information
Interchange.

Question 3: Try the following conversions.

(i) (514)8 = (?)10 (iv) (4D9)16 = (?)10
(ii) (220)8 = (?)2 (v) (11001010)2 = (?)10
(iii) (76F)16 = (?)10 (vi) (1010111)2 = (?)10
Answer:

o (514)8 = (?)10

Digits 5 1 4
Position 2 1 0
Weight 82 81 80
Therefore,
Decimal number = 5×82 + 1×81 + 4×80
= 5×64 + 1×8 + 4× 1
= 320 + 8 + 4
= (332)10

o (220)8 = (?)2

Octal Digits 2 2 0
Binary value
(3 bits) 010 010 000
Therefore,
Binary number = (010010000)2
o (76F)16 = (?)10

Digits 7 6 F(15)
Position 2 1 0
Weight 162 161 160
Therefore,
Decimal number = 7×162 + 6×161 + F×160
= 7×256 + 6×16 + F× 1
= 1792 + 96 + 15
= (1903)10

o (4D9)16 = (?)10

Digits 4 D 9
Position 2 1 0
Weight 162 161 160
Therefore,
Decimal number = 4×162 + 13×161 + 9×160
= 4×256 + 13×16 + 9× 1
= 1024 + 208 + 9
= (1241)10

Therefore,
Decimal number = 1×27+
1×26+0×25 +0×24 +1×23 +0×22 +1×21 +0×20
= 128+64 +8 + 2
= (202)10

Therefore,
Decimal number = 1×26+ 0×25+1×24 +0×23 +1×22 +1×21 +1×20
= 64 +16 + 4+ 2 +1
= (87)10
Question 4: Do the following conversions from decimal number to
other number systems.
(i) (54)10 = (?)2 (iv) (889)10 = (?)8

Therefore,
Decimal number = 6×83 +7×82 +6×81 + 0×80
=6×512 + 7×64 +6×8 + 0× 1
=3072 + 448 + 48+0
= (3568)10
(i) 455
Digits 4 5 5
Position 2 1 0
Weight 82 81 80
Therefore,
Decimal number = 4×82 +5×81 + 5×80
=4×64 + 5×8 + 5× 1
=256 + 40 + 5
= (301)10
(iv) 10.75

Therefore,
Decimal number = 1×81+0×80+7×8-1+5×8-2
=1×8+0×1+7×0.125+5×0.015625
=8+0+0.875+0.078125
= (8.953125)10
Question 6: Express the following decimal numbers into hexadecimal
numbers. (i) 548 (ii) 4052 (iii) 58 (iv) 100.25
