A. 0.42
B. 0.24
C. 0.3125
D. 0.12

Click for answer 

C. 0.3125
Explanation:
(0.24)8 = 2/8 + 4/ 82 = 0.25 + 4/64 = (0.3125)10
6. How many 1's are present in the binary representation of
(4x4096)+(9x256)+(7x16)+5 ?

A. 8
B. 9
C. 10
D. 11

Click for answer 

A. 8
Explanation:
=(4x4096)+(9x256)+(7x16)+5
=(22x212)+{(8x256)+(1x256)}+{(4x16)+(2x16)+(1x16)}+(4+1)
=(22x212)+{(23x28)+(20x28)}+{(22x24)+(21x24)+(20x24)}+(22+20)
=214+211+28+26+25+24+22+20
Hence No. of 1's =8
