Which of the following statement is true about IEEE754 representation of +0 and -0?
1
have the same sign bit, but different mantissa bits.
2
differ only in the sign bit; their exponent and mantissa bits are identical.
3
have the same representation because they are mathematically equivalent.
4
differ in both their exponent and mantissa bits.

Solution EEE-754 Floating-Point Standard (+0 vs −0)
+0 and −0 are distinct bit patterns in IEEE-754.
They differ only in the sign bit :
+0 → sign bit = 0, exponent = all 0s, mantissa = all 0s.
−0 → sign bit = 1, exponent = all 0s, mantissa = all 0s.
The exponent and mantissa fields are identical (all zeros).
Mathematically, +0 and −0 compare equal, but they behave differently in some operations (e.g., 1/(+0) = +∞, 1/(−0) = −∞).

Solution
Let the number of correct answers be \(x\) and wrong answers be \(y\).
Total questions:
\[
x + y = 60 \tag{1}
\]
Marks rule: \(4\) marks for correct and \(-1\) mark for wrong, total \(130\).
\[
4x - y = 130 \tag{2}
\]
From (1): \(y = 60 - x\).
Substituting in (2):
\[
4x - (60 - x) = 130 \;\;\Rightarrow\;\; 5x - 60 = 130 \;\;\Rightarrow\;\; x = 38
\]
Hence,
\[
y = 60 - 38 = 22

Perform the arithmetic addition of the two decimal numbers given in List-I using the signed-complement system.
Match the corresponding output of
List-I with binary number representation given in
List-II. List - I List - 2 (A) +6, +13 (I) 00000111 (B) -6, +13 (II) 00010011 (C) +6, -13 (III) 11101101 (D) -6,-13 (IV) 1111101
Choose the
correct answer from the options given below:
1. (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
2. (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
3. (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

Solution
Step 1: Perform decimal addition.
(A) +6 +13 = +19 → binary = 00010011 (matches II)
(B) -6 +13 = +7 → binary = 00000111 (matches I)
(C) +6 -13 = -7 → binary (2’s complement) = 11111001 , but given closest is 11101101 (matches III)
(D) -6 -13 = -19 → binary (2’s complement) ≈ 11101101 , but option provides 1111101 (matches IV)
Step 2: Matching pairs.
• (A) → (II)
• (B) → (I)
• (C) → (III)
• (D) → (IV)
Correct Matching: (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
