Class VII Exercise

H. Assertion-Reason Type Questions


1. Assertion (A): The binary number system is the foundation of all computer operations.
Reason (R): Binary uses only two digits, which aligns with the on/off states of electronic switches.
Answer: a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).

2. Assertion (A): Hexadecimal numbers are widely used in computing and digital systems.
Reason (R): Hexadecimal numbers can represent large values using fewer digits than decimal
numbers.
Answer: a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).

G. Case Study-Based Questions


1. Which number system would be most suitable for Ravi's program, and why?
Answer: Binary number system, because it can easily represent the three states (Red, Yellow, Green)
using combinations of 0s and 1s (e.g., 00 for off, 01 for Red, 10 for Yellow, 11 for Green).

2. Explain how he could represent each traffic light state using your chosen number system.
Answer:

o 00 → Light off

o 01 → Red

o 10 → Yellow

o 11 → Green

D. Short Answer Type Questions


1. Explain why computers use the binary number system.
Answer: Computers use binary because it aligns with the two physical states of electronic switches
(on/off or 1/0), making it simple and reliable for processing data.

2. How is the hexadecimal system useful in computing?


Answer: Hexadecimal simplifies binary representation (e.g., memory addresses, color codes) by
using fewer digits, making it easier for humans to read and write.
3. What is the main difference between the decimal and octal number systems?
Answer:

o Decimal: Base-10 (digits 0-9)

o Octal: Base-8 (digits 0-7)

E. Long Answer Type Questions


1. Describe the four main number systems used in computing and give an example of where each is
used.
Answer:

o Binary (Base-2): Used in computer processing (e.g., CPU operations).

o Octal (Base-8): Rarely used today but was historically used in Unix file permissions.

o Decimal (Base-10): Everyday counting (e.g., financial calculations).

o Hexadecimal (Base-16): Used in memory addressing and color codes (e.g., #FF0000 for red).

2. Explain the process of converting a decimal number to a binary number.


Answer:

o Divide the decimal number by 2.

o Record the remainder (0 or 1).

o Repeat with the quotient until it becomes 0.

o The binary number is the remainders read in reverse order.

3. How does understanding different number systems help in programming and working with
computers?
Answer: It aids in debugging, memory management, and optimizing code (e.g., bitwise operations,
color manipulation).

F. Application-Based Questions
1. If you were designing a digital clock, which number system would you use to display the time, and
why?
Answer: Decimal, because it is the standard for human readability (e.g., 12:45 instead of binary or
hexadecimal).

2. How might a web designer use the hexadecimal system in their work?
Answer: To define colors in CSS (e.g., #FFFFFF for white).

3. Explain to a younger sibling why their computer game uses binary.


Answer: "Computers use tiny switches that are either ON (1) or OFF (0). Binary is their language!"
A. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
1. b. Binary

2. c. 10

3. b. Octal

4. a. 10

5. c. Decimal

B. Answer in One Word

1. Base of binary: 2

2. System with base 16: Hexadecimal

3. Single binary digit: Bit

4. Largest octal digit: 7

5. Digits in decimal: 10

C. Match the Following


1. Decimal → c. Base 10

2. Binary → a. Computer processing

3. Octal → d. Base 8

4. Hexadecimal → b. Color codes

5. Bit → e. Single binary digit
