Final answer:

The XOR operation is used to compare two hexadecimal values digit by digit, resulting in a new hexadecimal sequence where the bits in each position are 1 if different and 0 if the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the result of performing an XOR operation on two hexadecimal values. To calculate the XOR of two hexadecimal numbers, you line up the numbers and perform the XOR operation on each pair of hexadecimal digits. The XOR operation, also known as exclusive OR, compares the two bits in each position and returns 1 if they are different and 0 if they are the same.

For example:

  • Hex 6 (binary 0110) XOR hex 4 (binary 0100) results in binary 0010, which is hex 2.
  • Hex 1 (binary 0001) XOR hex B (binary 1011) results in binary 1010, which is hex A.

When the XOR operation is applied to each pair of hexadecimal digits in the given sequences, it will produce a new sequence of hexadecimal numbers.
