Case Based Questions
1. Yuvika has always loved solving sums in mathematics. But she has always used the decimal number system, which uses the
symbols - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Recently, she came to know about binary, octal, and hexadecimal number systems.
She wants to know the different symbols that are used in these number systems. Write down the same for Yuvika.
Ans. Binary - 0 and 1
Octal - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7
Hexadecimal - 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F
2. Gurmeet is a student of class XI. He has been assigned the task of explaining to his classmate why the decimal number
system is a positional number system. Help him to complete his task.
Ans. A number system is positional if the position of a symbol in the representation of the number defines its value. In the case
of a decimal number system, every symbol is assigned a value according to the position at which it is placed. For example,
in the numbers 62, 23, and 249, the symbol 2 denotes the values two, twenty, and two hundred, respectively. Thus, the
decimal number system is a positional number system.
