In a(n) ______ numbering system, all numeric values are written as sequences of 0s and 1s.
- a. hexadecimal
- b. binary
- c. octal
- d. decimal
When a number sequence is represented using 0’s and 1’s is called as binary representation.
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Numbering system:
Numbering system is used to express numbers in different mathematical notations. There are different types of numbering system as shown below:
- Binary
- Hexadecimal
- Octal
Binary:
When numbers are represented in the form of 0’s and 1’s is called as binary number representation.
Explanation for incorrect options:
Hexadecimal:
Hexadecimal number system consists of 16 digits from 0 to 9 and from 10 to 15 is represented in the form of letters from A to F. The digits and letters used in the hexadecimal number system are referred to as base 16 characters.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Octal:
When a number is represented using the base 8 is called as octal number system.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Decimal:
When a number is represented using the base 10 is called as decimal number system.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.
