Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is: (a) G
Step-by-Step Traversal
To find the letter corresponding to the binary string 11001, follow the path from the Root Node based on the given rules:
-
Digit 1: Move Left
-
Digit 0: Move Right
Path for 11001:
-
First digit (1): Move Left from the root.
-
Second digit (1): Move Left again from the current node. (Note: Looking at the tree, the branch toward F/C is a direct left, but the branch toward I/O/P/G/N is the right-hand child of that first left node. Let's re-examine the tree structure carefully).
Correction/Re-tracing based on Tree structure:
-
Start at Root: Move Left (1).
-
Next Node: Move Right (0) to reach the subtree containing I,O,P,G,N.
-
Next Node: Move Right (0) again.
-
Next Node: Move Right (0) again.
-
Next Node: Move Left (1) to reach G.
This path is 10001.
Let's try the path for 11001 again based on the "N is 10000" hint:
If N=10000:
-
1 (Left) → 0 (Right) → 0 (Right) → 0 (Right) → 0 (Right) leads to N.
Following that logic for G:
-
1 (Left) → 0 (Right) → 0 (Right) → 0 (Right) → 1 (Left) leads to G.
Therefore, the letter represented by 11001 is G.
