Answer: TRUE
Q5. The base of decimal number system is 10.
Answer: TRUE

C. Fill in the blanks with the words given below:
(hexadecimal, octal, subtraction, binary, data)
Q1. Since, _______________ number system uses two digits, it has base 2.
Answer: binary
Q2. Just like in decimal _______________ , when the top digit is smaller, we borrow from the next left digit.
Answer: subtraction
Q3. The _______________ given by the user is converted into binary code for processing.
Answer: data
Q4. The base of _______________ number system is 16.
Answer: hexadecimal
Q5. 8 is the base of _______________ number system.
Answer: octal


D. Answer these questions:
Q1. Explain the number system. Name the different types of number systems.
Answer:
A number system is a method to represent numbers using digits and a base value.
Different types of number systems are:
* Binary (Base 2)
* Decimal (Base 10)
*  Octal (Base 8)
* Hexadecimal (Base 16)

Q2. Briefly explain the binary number system.
Answer:
The binary number system is a base-2 system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is the fundamental language of computers because electronic circuits work on two states (ON = 1, OFF = 0). All data in computers is stored and processed in binary form.

Q3. What is hexadecimal number system?
Answer:
Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system. It uses 16 symbols: digits 0 to 9 and letters A to F (where A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D = 13, E = 14, F = 15). It is commonly used in computing because it is short and easy to convert to binary (1 hex digit = 4 binary digits).

Q4. Write the rules for adding two binary numbers.
Answer:
Rules for binary addition:
1. 0 + 0 = 0
2. 0 + 1 = 1
3. 1 + 0 = 1
4. 1 + 1 = 10 (write 0, carry 1)

Q5. What are the rules for converting a decimal number into an octal number?
Answer:
To convert decimal to octal:
1. Divide the decimal number by 8 repeatedly.
2. Keep writing the remainders.
3. Stop when the quotient becomes 0.
4. Read the remainders from bottom to top.

Q6. Write the rules for subtracting two binary numbers.
Answer:
Rules for binary subtraction:
1. 0 – 0 = 0
2. 1 – 0 = 1
3. 1 – 1 = 0
4. 0 – 1 = 1 (borrow 1 from the next higher digit; the current digit becomes 2 – 1 = 1)
