CUET PG 2025 — Computer PYQ
CUET PG | Computer | 2025Which of the following statement is true about IEEE754 representation of +0 and -0?
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
have the same sign bit, but different mantissa bits.
- B.
differ only in the sign bit; their exponent and mantissa bits are identical.
(Correct Answer) - C.
have the same representation because they are mathematically equivalent.
- D.
differ in both their expnonent and mantissa bits.
differ only in the sign bit; their exponent and mantissa bits are identical.
Explanation
Solution:
IEEE 754 floating-point format mein kisi bhi number ko teen hisson mein baata jata hai: Sign (s), Exponent (E), aur Mantissa/Fraction (f).
Comparison of +0 and −0:
-
Sign Bit (s):
-
+0 ke liye: s=0
-
−0 ke liye: s=1
-
-
Exponent Bits (E):
-
Dono ke liye: Sabhi bits 0 hote hain.
-
-
Mantissa Bits (f):
-
Dono ke liye: Sabhi bits 0 hote hain.
-
Mathematical Identity:
Bit-level par unka representation is prakar dikhta hai:
Yahan se saaf hai ki:
Right Answer:
"They differ only in the sign bit; their exponent and mantissa bits are identical."
