Suppose x and y are two integer variables having values 0x5AB6 and 0x61CD respectively. The result (in hex) of applying bitwise operator AND to x and y will be:

  1. A.

    0x5089

  2. B.

    0x4084

  3. C.

    0x78A4

  4. D.

    0x3AD1

Correct answer: B

To find the bitwise AND of 0x5AB6 and 0x61CD, align the hexadecimal digits. Perform AND operations on each corresponding nibble: 5 & 6 = 4, A & 1 = 0, B & C = 8, and 6 & D = 4. Combining these results yields the final hexadecimal value of 0x4084.
