A. 0101110
B. 1001101
C. 0100010
D. 1100101
Answer: C
Clarification: 1’s complement of a binary number is obtained by reversing the binary bits. All the 1’s to 0’s and 0’s to 1’s.

Thus, 1’s complement of 1011101 = 0100010.

2. 2’s complement of 11001011 is ____________
A. 01010111
B. 11010100
C. 00110101
D. 11100010
Answer: C
Clarification: 2’s complement of a binary number is obtained by finding the 1’s complement of the number and then adding 1 to it.
2’s complement of 11001011 = 00110100 + 1 = 00110101.

3. On subtracting (01010)2 from (11110)2 using 1’s complement, we get ____________

Answer: D
Clarification: Steps For Subtraction using 1’s complement are:
-> 1’s complement of the subtrahend is determined and added to the minuend.
-> If the result has a carry, then it is dropped and 1 is added to the last bit of the result.
-> Else, if there is no carry, then 1’s complement of the result is found out and a ‘-’ sign preceeds the result.
