Consider three floating points numbers A, B and C stored in registers R_A, R_B and R_C, respectively as per IEEE-754 single precision floating point format. The 32-bit content stored in these registers (in hexadecimal form) are as follows.

Which one of the following is FALSE?

In 16-bit 2's complement representation, the decimal number -28 is :

Consider Z = X - Y, where X, Y and Z are all in sign-magnitude form. X and Y are each represented in n bits. To avoid overflow, the representation of Z would require a minimum of:

Consider an eight-bit ripple-carry adder for computing the sum of $$A$$ and $$B,$$ where $$A$$ and $$B$$ are integers represented in $$2’s$$ complement form. If the decimal value of $$A$$ is one, the decimal value of $$B$$ that leads to the longest latency for the sum to stabilize is __________ .
