Final answer:

The sum of the binary numbers (11101111)₂ and (10111101)₂ was calculated incorrectly as (1101110)₂; the correct sum should be (110101100)₂. The product, however, matches the given product (1011000001110011)₂. Therefore, the overall statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

To verify if the summation and multiplication of two binary numbers is correct, we must perform the respective operations on them.

Summation

We add (11101111)2 and (10111101)2:

11101111
+ 10111101
----------
110101100

The sum is (110101100)2, which is different from the given sum (1101110)2. Therefore, the statement about their sum is false.

Multiplication

Next, we multiply (11101111)2 by (10111101)2:

11101111
x 10111101
-----------
11101111
...
+ 00000000 ...
+ 11101111 ...
+ 00000000 ...
+11101111 ...
---------------
1011000001110011

The product matches the given product, so the statement about their product is true.

Since one of the operations (the sum) is incorrect, the overall answer to the statement is B) False.
