4. An aeroplane has a small display screen above each seat, to display the seat number.
The seat number is a hexadecimal value. A 12-bit binary register is used to store the data
to display each seat number.
Three seat numbers, 05A, 18C and 29F, are allocated to passengers.
Give the 12-bit binary value that would be stored for each hexadecimal seat number.
