Explanation / Answer
1.a)hexadecimal
2.b)12 in decimal
3.a)1111
4.c) 50
it is obtained as such by 2*8^0+6*8^1
=2+48
=50
5.a)0010 1101 1001
this is simply the binary representation of each digit
6.a)only one digit changes as the number increases
7.c)digital circuits can be easily distinguished between two voltage levels
8. c)1 is added to the 1's compliment
9. d)all the above
10. a) parity
11.a)if one or more inputs are 1, the output is 1
12.b)parallel
parallel contacts represent the OR function
