A number greater than 32 would require a minimum of how may bits in binary representation?(a) 5(b) 6(c) 4(d) 10This question was addressed to me in a national level competition.My query is from Number Theory topic in chapter Number Theory and Cryptography of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (b) 6

To explain I would say: Since through 5 bits we can only REPRESENT numbers till 31 since 2^5 = 32 we need greater than 5 bits, so minimum would be 6.
