= 110101

Next divide the 1575 with 2 and get the binary digits from the remainder

= 00101000010100011111

Now combine the bits

= 110101. 00101000010100011111
Part-g:

3.14159 Base 3

Here to convert into base 3 each base digit of base 9 equal to 2 base 3
digits.

Like 1 = 01

2 = 02

3 = 10

4 = 11

5 = 12

For base 3 for number 3 in base 9 is 10

For base 3 for number 1415 in base 9 is 1110112

= 10.1110112

Question-2:

Solution:

Part-a

Given 1610=100 b

Calculation of b:
 = (1 × b2 ¿ + (0× b1 ¿+ ( 0 ×b 0 )

= b2

Now equal to given question

2
b = 16

b = 16

The value of b is 16

Part-b

Given 29210=1204 b

Calculation of b:

= (1 × b3 ¿+ (2× b2 ¿+ ( 0 ×b 1 ) +( 4 ×b 0 )

= b 3+2b 2 + 4

Now equal to given question

3 2
b +2b + 4 = 292

3 2
b +2b -288 = 0

Largest digit is 4 so the number system valid any base ≥ 5

Put 6 in the above equation

3 2
6 +2×6 -288 = 0

So the base is 6

Note:
 If 6 is not worked then go to other number like 7, 8, ….

Question-3:

Solution:

Given decimal number 8620

Part –a

BCD

Split the each number into group of binary bits

8 6 2 0

1000 0110 0010 0000

Part-b

Excess 3 code

Add each number with 3 and give the bits in the group of 4 bits

8+3 = 11 6+3 = 9 2+3 = 5 0+3 = 3

1011 1001 0101 0110

Part-c

2421 code

This code has been weighted for the given number

1110 1100 0010 0000

Part-d

Binary number

= 8620 is the decimal number

Divide the number by 2 and get the digits from the remainder

= 10000110101100

8620
= 0
2

4310
= 0
2

2155

1077
= 1
2

Upto 0 we need to divide every number by 2 and get digits from the remainder

Question-4:

Solution:

Part-a:

1234 + 5432 = 6666

Here largest digit is 6 so the operation is possible for any number system with base ≥ 7
Part-b:

41/3 = 13

Let take base is b

4 × b+1
=1 ×b+ 3
3

4b+1 = 3 (b+3)

4b = 3b +9-1

4b -3b = 8

Base b = 8

Part-c:

33/3 = 11

Let take base is b

3× b+3
=1 × b+1
3

3b+3 = 3 (b+1)

3b = 3b +3-3

3b-3b = 0

Here largest digit is 3 so the operation is possible for any number system with base
≥4

Part-d:

23 + 44 + 14 + 32 = 223

Let take base is b

2b + 4b + b + 3b +13 = 2 b2 +2 b+3

0= 2 b2−¿8b – 10

b = 5 don’t consider negative

b =5

Part-e:

302/20 = 12.1

Let take base is b

2
3× b +2 1
=b+ 2+
2b b

2 2
3 b +2 = 2b + 4 b+ 2

2
b – 4b = 0

Base is 4

Part-f:

√ 41 = 5

Let take base is b

√ 4 b+1 = 5

4b+1 = 25

4b = 24

Base is 6

Self-complementing or not

6+3+1-1 = 9

So it is self-complementing

7+3+2-1 = 11

It is not equal to 9 so not self-complementing

5+4-2-1 = 6

It is not self-complementing

8+7-4-2 = 9

It is self-complementing
