Question 1 (a) A communication system is used primarily to store and transmit an unsigned 15 digit decimal number in the usual straight binary format. Furthermore, it includes parity method for error detection and correction. Calculate the number of bits required to store and transmit this particular number sequence effectively to the other party. (5 marks) (b) Perform the following number conversion by showing all the necessary working. 0011 0111 0101 0111BCD to hexadecimal representation (i) (5 marks) (ii) 10AB.CD16 to decimal representation (5 marks) (c) Let A = 110102 and B = 000102. Derive the following mathematical operations below using only the binary domain and show all the necessary workings. A final answer with no appropriate steps/workings will be given no credit. (i) Multiplication of A and B (5 marks) (ii) Division of A by B (5 marks)
