QUESTION B1 (15 Marks)

(a) 4310 = 0010 10112

(m1)
2’s complement of 4310 = 1101 01012
(m1)
1310 = 0000 11012
(m1)

1101 01012 + 0000 11012 = 1110 00102

2’s complement of 1110 0010 = 00011110
1110 00102 = -30
(m1 for 1110 0010, a1 for both 00011110 and -30)

(b) (i) 33.12510 = 100001.0012 = 1.00001001 × 25

(m1, m1)
Exponent = 5 + 31 = 36 = 1001002
(m1 for 36)
Thus, 1 100100 000010010
(a3: a1 for Sign, a1 for Exponent, a1 for mantissa)

(ii) Exponent = 1000112 = 35

(m1 for denary)
Mantissa = 11101 = 0.90625
(m1 for denary)
(−1)0 × (1 + 0.90625) × 235−31 = 30.5
(m1, a1)
Note: Accept any other possible correct method.
