  2. G52F
  3. F53F
  4. F53O.

  1. Two’s complement only
  2. Sign and magnitude and one’s complement only
  3. Two’s complement and one’s complement only
  4. All three representations.

Correct answer: (D)
All three representations.

10. Digital computers are more widely used as compared to analog computers, because they are

  1. less expensive
  2. always more accurate and faster
  3. useful over wider ranges of problem types
  4. easier to maintain.

Correct answer: (C)
useful over wider ranges of problem types
