Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Step-by-Step Calculation:

Using 7's complement

  • Step 1: Find the 7's complement of (6100)8 by subtracting each digit from 7.

  • Step 2: Add 1 to the 7's complement to get the 8's complement.

  • Since we are in base 8 (Octal):

    • 7 + 1 = (8)8 = 0 with a carry of 1.

    • 7 + 1 (carry) = (8)8 = 0 with a carry of 1.

    • 6 + 1 (carry) = 7.

    • Bring down the 1.

    Resulting in: (1700)8
