Question

What is the result of the binary addition 01101 + 10010?

a) 10011
b) 11111
c) 11001
d) 10111

Answer 1

The result of the binary addition 01101 + 10010 is 11111. This is achieved by adding each corresponding bit from right to left, similar to decimal addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for the result of a binary addition, specifically adding the binary numbers 01101 and 10010. To solve this, we need to add the two binary numbers bit by bit, starting from the rightmost bit, just like we do with decimal addition.

• 
  
• Step 1: Add the rightmost bits: 1 + 0 = 1.
• 
  
• Step 2: Move to the next bit: 0 + 1 = 1.
• 
  
• Step 3: Continue with the next bit: 1 + 0 = 1.
• 
  
• Step 4: Add the following bits: 1 (from 01101) + 0 (from 10010) = 1.
• 
  
• Step 5: Add the leftmost bits: 0 + 1 = 1.

Adding them together, we get 11111. Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 11111.
