Choose the correct answer:
- A.
(608)16
- B.
(028F)16
- C.
(048F)16
(Correct Answer) - D.

(048F)16
Explanation
Step 1: Convert Octal to Binary
Each octal digit represents 3 binary bits (23=8).
-
2→010
-
2→010
-
1→001
-
7→111
So, (2217)8 in binary is:
Step 2: Convert Binary to Hexadecimal
Group the binary digits into sets of 4 (starting from the right), as each hex digit represents 4 bits (24=16).
-
The first group (right): 1111→F
-
The second group: 1000→8
-
The third group (left): 0100→4
Putting them together, we get 48F. Adding a leading zero for 16-bit formatting gives you:
