Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
In 2's complement representation, the range of integers that can be represented using n bits is from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1) - 1.
For a 32-bit system, n = 32.
Minimum value: -2^(32-1) = -2^31
Maximum value: 2^(32-1) - 1 = 2^31 - 1
Therefore, the range is -2^31 to 2^31 - 1.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
2 के पूरक प्रतिनिधित्व में, n बिट का उपयोग करके पूर्णांकों की सीमा -2^(n-1) से 2^(n-1) - 1 तक होती है।
32 बिट सिस्टम के लिए, n = 32 है।
न्यूनतम मान: -2^(32-1) = -2^31
अधिकतम मान: 2^(32-1) - 1 = 2^31 - 1
इसलिए, सीमा -2^31 से 2^31 - 1 तक है।
