3. How many bits string of length 4 are possible such that they contain 2 ones and 2 zeroes?
a) 4
b) 2
c) 5
d) 6
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The strings are {0011, 0110, 1001, 1100, 1010 and 0101}.

4. If a bit string contains {0, 1} only, having length 5 has no more than 2 ones in it. Then how many such bit strings are possible?
a) 14
b) 12
c) 15
d) 16
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The total strings are 1(having no one in it) +5(having 1 one in it) +10 (having 2 ones in it) = 16.

5. If A is "001100" and B is "010101" then what is the value of A (Ex-or) B?

b) 111111
c) 001101
d) 011001
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: In Ex-or if both the inputs are same then output is 0 otherwise 1.

b) 00110100
c) 01010101
d) 10101001
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In Ex-nor if both the inputs are same then output is 1 otherwise 0.

7. What is the one's complement of this string "01010100"?

b) 00110100
c) 10101100
d) 10101001
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: In two's complement negate every bit from left until the first one from right is encountered.
