Topic: Digital Circuits

Given the decimal number -19, an eight bit two's complement representation is given by

  • A. 11101110
  • B. 11101101
  • C. 11101100
  • D. None of these

Answer: B. 11101101

Explanation: The 8-bit binary representation of +19 is 00010011. To find the two's complement for -19, first take the one's complement by inverting all bits (11101100), then add 1 to the LSB: 11101100 + 1 = 11101101.
