Question

In binary addition 0011 + 0010 equals

• A. 0111
• B. 0101
• C. 0110
• D. 1000

Hint:

In binary addition, carry over occurs when the sum of two bits exceeds 1. For example, 1 + 1 = 10, so the 1 is carried over to the next higher bit.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Perform binary addition of 0011 and 0010. Start from the rightmost bit: \[ \begin{array}{c} \ \ 0011
+ 0010
\hline \ 0111
\end{array} \]

Step 2: Add the corresponding bits from right to left: - 1 + 0 = 1 - 1 + 1 = 0 (carry 1) - 0 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 1 - 0 + 0 = 0 Thus, the sum is 0111.
