ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 1 of 100

The sum is the binary value shown in option (d). Convert or add directly: 01011010 is 90 and 01101011 is 107, so the total is 197. Expressing 197 as an 8-bit binary value gives 128 + 64 + 4 + 1, which is 11000101.

Answer (d)

Why not others:
- 00110001 is 49

- 01111101 is 125

- 10000100 is 132

- none of these equals 197

Key rule: In binary addition, add from right to left and carry whenever a column totals two or more; an unsigned 8-bit value can represent 0 through 255.
